Atopic eczema (atopic dermatitis) is the most common form of eczema, a condition that causes the skin to become itchy, red, dry and cracked. Atopic eczema is more common in children, often developing before their first birthday. However, it may also develop for the first time in adults. It is usually a long-term (chronic) condition, although it can improve significantly, or even clear completely, in some children as they get older (NHS Choices).
Part of the World Clinics: Dermatology series, this book is a complete guide to the diagnosis and management of atopic eczema.
Beginning with an overview of the condition, the first chapters discuss etiopathogenesis, clinical features, investigations and diagnosis.
The second part of the book covers both topical and systemic therapies, prevention strategies, and allergens, microbes and moisturisers.
Presented as a collection of evidence-based reviews, each article is enhanced by photographs and figures, and concludes with a summary and comments by the editors highlighting their own clinical experience.
Other titles in the World Clinics: Dermatology series include ‘Acne’, ‘Psoriasis’ and ‘Fungal Infections of the Skin’.

Hardcover. Etat : New. 1st Edition. Key Features: Atopic dermatitis in infants and children has been studied in details in the Western literature but there is lesser literature on this disease from the developing world. However, it remains a disease which significantly decreases the quality of life of the affected children as well as their parents and can remain a cause of loss of school days and economic burden. Treatment is aimed at decreasing the dryness of the skin as well as to reduce the pruritus in the patients. Clinical manifestations of the disease can vary in different countries as also among children and adults. Recognition of minor features of the disease as well as atypical features are also important. Over several decades, the mainstay of treatment remains moisturizers, topical steroids, and topical calcineurin inhibitors. However, only recently, there is an excitement at the introduction of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, crisabarole, a janus kinase inhibitor, tofacinib, and an FDA approved biological, dupilumab. Of course these still need to be evaluated over time. However, one must also tactfully use age old treatment, combining it skilfully with newer advances to improve the life of the affected child. One also must give adequate information regarding general measures to be used in the child. N° de réf. du vendeur 130797
