Overview

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, very itching disease of children and adults that requires intensive local and often systemic treatment. The choice of treatment depends on the age, severity of the disease and associated diseases. Current recommendations in part II contain indications for systemic treatment; summarize the latest available knowledge on conventional systemic, biological and targeted treatment of atopic dermatitis. At the same time, treatment goals (initial, rational, optimal), evaluation of treatment response and treatment failure are defined.

Keywords:

atopic dermatitis – indications for systemic treatment – treatment evaluation – treatment goals – conventional systemic treatment – biological and targeted treatment
