Abstract

Pediatric dermatological emergencies encompass a wide array of conditions that demand immediate medical attention and can have significant implications for a child's health and wellbeing. Despite the critical nature of these conditions, a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge is essential to improve recognition and management. This systematic review aims to address this gap by synthesizing the latest evidence related to pediatric dermatological emergencies, with a specific focus on studies published between 2020 and 2022. The primary objective of this systematic review is to provide an in-depth analysis of the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, management strategies, and outcomes of pediatric dermatological emergencies. A systematic search was conducted across prominent databases, including PubMED, Embase, and Web of Science. The review includes 21 studies that met stringent inclusion criteria, which were subsequently analyzed for patient demographics, clinical characteristics, diagnostic methodologies, therapeutic interventions, and patient outcomes. The findings from the 21 selected studies consistently highlight the critical importance of early recognition and timely intervention in the management of pediatric dermatological emergencies. On average, approximately 85% of cases demonstrated improved outcomes when appropriate care was initiated promptly. The review discusses various common conditions, including severe drug reactions, cutaneous infections, inflammatory skin disorders, and traumatic dermatological emergencies, shedding light on their epidemiology and clinical features. This systematic review underscores the significance of a multidisciplinary approach, involving dermatologists, pediatricians, and critical care specialists, in addressing pediatric dermatological emergencies. It also emphasizes the evolving insights into the pathophysiology and management of these conditions and highlights the unique ...
