I Editor i , There are several potentially life-threatening infections that, either because of their origin in the skin and soft tissues or because of their secondary extension to them, may require the participation of a dermatologist in their diagnosis and/or treatment.1,2 However, this role is poorly defined in the hospital setting, where internists, infectious disease or intensive care specialists lead the evaluation of these conditions.3,4 The aim of this study was to determine the current involvement of dermatologists in sepsis and life-threatening invasive infection alert programs.
