  • Title: Atopic dermatitis: beyond the itch that rashes.
    Author: Boguniewicz M.
    Journal: Immunol Allergy Clin North Am; 2005 May; 25(2):333-51, vii. PubMed ID: 15878459.
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of atopic dermatitis is increasing, and more than 50% of children with atopic dermatitis go on to develop asthma and allergies. A better understanding of the underlying immune abnormalities of this complex chronic relapsing skin disease is needed. Although the optimal treatment approach remains to be defined, several recent studies suggest a rationale for using topical calcineurin inhibitors as early intervention and adding topical corticosteroids as rescue therapy if needed.
