  • Title: [How do I treat atopic neurodermatitis?].
    Author: Pürschel W.
    Journal: Z Hautkr; 1986 May 15; 61(10):731-4. PubMed ID: 3716528.
    Abstract:
    In view of numerous insufficient modes of treatment of atopic dermatitis, Hartung and Pürschel elaborated a more agreeable way of treatment without side effects including all the multifactorial aspects of the disease and being as complete and as pleasant as possible. The dermatologic climate therapist practised at the Hospital for Allergy and Skin Diseases on the North Sea island of Norderney founded by Hartung in 1953. Treatment of affected children or adults - over 20,000 patients so far - starts with a complete general medical and dermatological check-up. The aim of our therapy is to withdraw topical and systemic applications of glucocorticoids and to achieve intervals free of signs and symptoms. The favorable effects of the North Sea climate are the basis of extensive dermatological treatment and psychological guidance of the patients. There have been no side effects observed.
