In addition, Dr. Papier plays a recording of a webinar by Dr. Steven T. Chen, MD, MPhH, MS-HPEd, Associate Professor at the Harvard Medical School, that discusses Dermatologic Emergencies. Dr. Chen covers the evaluation of a new potentially severe cutaneous eruption in the hospitalized patient and the salient clinical features to avoid missing a severe rash, such as SJS/TEN, DRESS, AGEP, purpura fulminans, etc. Furthermore, he discusses how to formulate a framework for when dermatology consultation may be necessary or advised and analyze available patient characteristics and data to identify culprit drugs when faced with an adverse skin reaction to medication.
