title: Dermatomycological guidelines: 10 years of experience in Germany.
abstract: Since the mid-1990s of the last century, dermatomycological guidelines have been prepared and published in Germany. This has been achieved by a group of experts encompassing leading representatives of Deutschsprachige Mykologische Gesellschaft, Deutsche Dermatologische Gesellschaft as well as Berufsverband Deutscher Dermatologen. Preparation of guidelines is based on a defined procedure. The first draft is prepared by one to three experts and then forwarded to all members of the working group for further discussion and improvement. This can be by way of either conventional mail or electronic mail. All aspects turning up in the process are reflected by the head of the working group and these aspects are used to prepare another version, which is again distributed to all members of the working group. Following up to three or four pertinent rounds of optimisation, a final version based on general consensus will be available at the end. All guidelines are subject to adaptation in a period of 3-5 years at the latest or if needed even earlier.
