The Atopic Dermatitis Learning Center: Riding the Next Wave
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that affects 5% to 30% of children and 1% to 10% of adults globally. It is characterized by recurrent eczematous lesions and intense itch and can have a severe impact on quality of life. Numerous agents that target the immunological mechanism of AD are under investigation in pediatric and adult patients. It is imperative that clinicians have the most recent data to provide optimal outcomes for their patients with AD.
