There are concerns about elective dermatology appointments and its results. Herein, we aimed to find out which type of dermatologic patients attended to dermatology outpatient clinic. The patients visiting the clinics for elective dermatologic diseases between March 11 and 18, 2020, were included in this study. Their age, sex, diagnosis of disease, requirement for emergent intervention, and their medical records about COVID-19 were obtained. There were 390 patients attending to the dermatology outpatient clinic in this period. The most common disease was acne (N: 94, 24%), only 19% of patients need emergent interventions or dose adjustment. There were 40 (10%) patients over the age of 65. After their visits, five patients were diagnosed as COVID-19 in 2weeks. Dermatologic examinations may be a vector for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission since being closed to the patient. Five of our patients were diagnosed as COVID-19 after their elective visit to hospital. Since the asymptomatic course of some young patients, most of our patients were not screened for COVID-19. Our findings support the concerns of elective physician examinations.Publication Open Access Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome induced by COVID-19: A case report(2020-01-01T00:00:00Z) TAŞLIDERE, BAHADIR; MEHMETAJ, LILJANA; ÖZCAN, AYŞE BÜŞRA; GÜLEN, BEDİA; TAŞLIDERE, NAZAN; TAŞLIDERE, BAHADIR; MEHMETAJ, LILJANA; ÖZCAN, AYŞE BÜŞRA; GÜLEN, BEDİA; TAŞLIDERE, NAZANMelkersson-Rosenthal syndrome is a rare condition characterized by a triad of orofacial edema, facial paralysis, and fissured tongue.
