Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with cutaneous
hyperreactivity to environmental triggers and is often the first step in the atopic march that
results in asthma and allergic rhinitis. The clinical phenotype that characterizes atopic
dermatitis is the product of interactions between susceptibility genes, the environment,
defective skin barrier function, and immunologic responses. This review summarizes recent
progress in our understanding of the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis and the …
