Atopic Dermatitis: an Update and Reivew of the Literature

We described atopic eczema/dermatitis from the aspects of immunologic background, genetics, skin barrier dysfunction, IgE receptors, and triggers of AD (including allergens, microorganisms, and autoantigens). We have also reviewed diagnostic procedures, treatment modalities with topical treatment (emollients, topical corticosteroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors, wet wrap therapy and topical antimicrobial therapy) as well as systemic management (antimicrobials, systemic corticosteroids, cyclosporine A, azathioprine, antihistamines) and phototherapy. Finally, we have discussed primary and secondary prevention and have emphasized the role of the different cell receptors and their up and down regulation in this setting.
