AB Dermatologic  diseases  are  diagnosed  by  the  types  of  lesions  they  cause.  To  make  a  diagnosis:  (1)  identify  the  type  of  lesion(s)  the  patient  exhibits  by  morphology  establishing  a  differential  diagnosis  (Table  6–1);  and  (2)  obtain  the  elements  of  the  history,  physical  examination,  and  appropriate  laboratory  tests  to  confirm  the  diagnosis.  Specific  clinical  situations,  such  as  an  immunocompromised  or  critically  ill  patient,  lead  to  different  diagnostic  considerations.
