Abstract:
Atopic dermatitis is a common chronic-relapsing, inflammatory and itchy eczematous skin disorder which occurs in both children and adults. AD pathogenesis is complex and several factors are implicated. Pruritus plays a pivotal role in disease's burden, significantly worsening atopic patient quality of life by limiting productivity and daily activities. AD diagnosis relies still on the experience of the healthcare professional and there are several unmet needs as for the diagnostic criteria, the management and the recognition of the burden of the disease. In this paper we present an indeep focus on the main clinical features of AD and the major unmet needs that should be addressed in the next research.
