Features of immunopathogenesis of atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common allergic diseases with severe course, which affects the skin. This disease is genetically determined and has a chronic course. Atopic dermatitis is also one of the commonest diseases (between 20% and 40% of all skin disorders) and affects patients of both sexes across the globe. Such high rate of morbidity, onset in early childhood, often continuous relapsing course and a trend toward gradual increase of tolerance to traditional therapies makes the issue of detalization of pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis particularly topical.
