Abstract
The skin is the organ which is most accessible to the clinical examination. It is also the organ which reflects numerous systemic disease conditions, many of which may be life-threatening. Accordingly, the clinician caring for the critically ill patient commonly encounters dermatological signs and symptoms. In the appendix, frequent dermatological conditions which may cause or be associated with critical illness (and have not been covered by the chapters of this book) are illustrated (Figs. 21.1, 21.2, 21.3, 21.4, 21.5, 21.6, 21.7, 21.8, 21.9, 21.10, 21.11, 21.12, 21.13, 21.14, 21.15, 21.16, 21.17, 21.18, 21.19, 21.20, 21.21, 21.22, 21.23, 21.24, 21.25, 21.26, 21.27, and 21.28).
