“…[ 7 ] Surgery (11.3%), followed by pediatrics (6.7%) and psychiatry (5.5%) units accounted for other common referrals in the index as well as other studies. [ 4 7 8 11 12 15 ] However, in some studies,[ 10 13 14 ] neurology unit has accounted for a significant number of referrals after internal medicine. In an Indian study,[ 2 ] from Secunderabad, surgery (29.8%) and internal medicine (29.7%) departments were responsible for more than half of the referrals to dermatologists.…”

“…In the present study, internal medicine accounted for the highest proportion of dermatological consultations (49.3%), as seen in several other published studies. [ 4 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ] It is possibly due to higher admission rates in internal medicine wards compared to others. Other reasons could be longer hospital stays and more likelihood of patients having multiple ailments and hence on multiple medications.…”

“…[ 4 5 ] The dermatoses may be associated with significant morbidity and at times mortality. [ 6 ] These dermatology lesions could be detected as a coincidental finding during examination or develop during their stay in the hospital;[ 7 ] the development of adverse cutaneous drug reaction is a typical example of the latter. These inpatients with dermatoses often require expert dermatology consultation.…”

Antecedentes: La dermatología se ha considerado clásicamente una especialidad limitada al ámbito ambulatorio. Sin embargo, los pacientes ingresados presentan con frecuencia afecciones cutáneas asociadas o no a enfermedades sistémicas. Objetivo: Analizar las características de las interconsultas realizadas al Servicio de Dermatología del Hospital Central de Mendoza. Diseño: Estudio observacional analítico de corte longitudinal. Materiales y métodos: Se incluyeron 425 interconsultas de pacientes hospitalizados y ambulatorios que requirieron una evaluación dermatológica urgente, desde el 1 de febrero hasta el 31 agosto de 2019. Resultados: Se analizaron 266 (62,59%) interconsultas de pacientes ambulatorios con requerimiento de evaluación dermatológica urgente, de ellas 228 (85,71%) fueron derivados del Servicio de Guardia. Ciento cincuenta y nueve (37,41%) fueron interconsultas de pacientes hospitalizados, de las cuales 74 (46,54%) fueron solicitadas por Clínica Médica. Las dermatopatías infecciosas fueron las más frecuentes (38,82%), seguidas de las inflamatorias (37,65%). Las lesiones cutáneas asociadas a enfermedad sistémica fueron más frecuentes en los internados (p = 0,003). Del total de las interconsultas, 230 (54,11%) contaban con un diagnóstico presuntivo y, de ellos, 127 (55,21%) coincidieron con el diagnóstico definitivo realizado por el dermatólogo. Se comparó la coincidencia entre el diagnóstico presuntivo y el definitivo entre grupos de médicos con orientación clínica frente a quirúrgica y se halló coincidencia en el 30,95% y el 23,40% de los casos, en ese orden, sin observarse diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p = 0,28). Conclusión: La evaluación dermatológica facilita el diagnóstico y el manejo del paciente en el contexto hospitalario.
