Overview

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, intensively itchy disease affecting children and adults that requires intensive local and often systemic treatment. It has a varied clinical picture and is accompanied by number of different comorbidities. The choice of treatment method depends on the age of the patient, the severity of the disease and associated diseases. In Part I, the authors summarize current knowledge about diagnosis, comorbidities, appropriate examinations, assessment of the severity of atopic dermatitis, principles of skin care, basic and anti-inflammatory local treatment, antipruritic treatment and treatment of infectious complications.

Keywords:

diagnosis – comorbidities – atopic dermatitis – assessment of the severity of atopic dermatitis – principles of skin care – basic and antiinflammatory topical treatment – antipruritic and antiinfective therapy
