Abstrakt		Based on surveys and the trend toward increasing consultation rates for skin disease as a whole, in 2001 the European Dermatology Forum suggested that there is a large hidden iceberg of unmet dermatological needs in Europe. This iceberg of dermatoloical need is likely to surface over the next 20 years as healthcare consumers became more aware of their rights and because some common skin diseases such as skin cancer and venous leg ulcers are becoming more common due to an increasing ageing population. Frequent travel between countries and abroad, economic migration, and widening socio-economic divides are also factors that could contribute to an increase in infectious skin and venereal diseases. This article presents the guidelines for reffering patients with skin diseases.
Izvleček		Evropski dermatološki forum je v letu 2001 iz podatkov raziskav, ob trendu večanja števila obravnav zaradi kožnih bolezni, ocenil, da je v Evropi ledeni gori podobno velik skrit obseg neprepoznanih dermatoloških potreb. Ta gora dermatoloških potreb naj bi se pokazala v naslednjih 20 letih, ko bodo uporabniki zdravstvenega varstva postali ozaveščeni o svojih pravicah. Tudi nekatere bolezni, kot je kožni rak in golenja razjeda, postajajo pogostejše zaradi staranja prebivalstva. Pogosta potovanja med državami in v tujino, selitve ljudi zaradi iskanja dela in širjenje socialno-ekonomskih razlik so prav tako dejavniki, ki prispevajo k večanju števila infekcijskih ter veneričnih bolezni. V prispevku so predstavljene smernice za napotitev bolnikov s kožnimi boleznimi na specialistično obravnavo.
