Abstract:
In the submitted review the authors present information on possibilities of immunomodulating treatment of atopic dermatitis. Immunosuppressive treatment comprises systemic corticosteroid administration (possibly combined with cytostatic immunosuppressive preparations), cyclosporin A and phototherapy. Immunopotentiating treatment of AD makes use mainly of modulating preparations with the nature of physiological substances close to the immune system, substances obtained from natural biological sources (thymic hormones) or in recent years more frequently substances of recombinant origin (interferons, interleukins). The use of immunopotentiating drugs of chemical origin (synthetic substances) is used less frequently in AD. The use of intravenous immunoglobulin preparations for severe forms of atopic dermatitis is only just starting.
