This book presents the state of the art in research into atopic
dermatitis, or atopic eczema, and provides numerous effective
practical management recommendations that are grounded in the
immense clinical experience of the author. A scientific
evidence-based approach to the subject is adopted, progressing
from clinical symptoms in different disease stages, molecular
genetics, and pathophysiology through to treatment and
prevention. All aspects of patient management are covered,
including diagnostics, avoidance strategies, emollient therapy,
and acute treatment of eczema and itch. Diverse special
therapeutic approaches are discussed, ranging from
glucocorticoids, topical calcineurin inhibitors, and
antimicrobial therapy through to UV therapy, allergen-specific
immunotherapy, systemic immunosuppressive therapy, and emerging
options. Environmental influences are considered, and there is a
focus on the whole human being, with attention to psychosocial
aspects of the disease and the benefit of educational programs
such as “eczema schools”.
