Zusammenfassung
Die Hautbiopsie ist die wichtigste adjuvante diagnostische Methode in der Dermatologie. Sie ist für die spezifische Diagnose vieler Dermatosen unerlässlich und stellt zugleich die beste Qualitätskontrolle der klinischen Diagnostik dar. Dennoch werden bei Kindern Hautbiopsien viel seltener durchgeführt als bei Erwachsenen. Die Prämedikation mit EMLA-Creme vor Durchführung der Infiltrationsanästhesie gestattet inzwischen völlig schmerzfreie Biopsien. Die Indikation zur Biopsie sollte daher auch bei Kindern großzügiger gestellt werden, um das Niveau der pädiatrischen Dermatologie dem bei Erwachsenen anzugleichen.
Abstract
Biopsy of the skin is the most important adjuvant diagnostic method in dermatology. It is essential for a specific diagnosis of many dermatoses and serves as quality control for clinical diagnosis. Nevertheless, skin biopsies are performed only rarely in children, as compared to adults. Application of EMLA cream before infiltration of a local anaesthetic allows biopsies of the skin to be performed without any pain. Therefore, the indication for skin biopsy in children should be adjusted to that in adults in order to raise diagnostic standards in pediatric dermatology.
