Abstract
The review represents the analysis of modern data on the pathogenesis and methods of treatment of atopic dermatitis (AtD). The literature search was carried out using the Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, e-library databases. AtD is one of the most common skin diseases, aff ecting about 20% of children and 5% of adults in advanced countries. The disease is multifactorial by its etiology. Among the genetic factors, the main attention is paid to the mutation of the gene encoding the synthesis of fi laggrin-protein involved in the functioning of the skin barrier. The role of cytokines regulating the synthesis of IgE — interleukins (IL) -4, -5, -12, -13, -31 is studied in the genesis of immune disorders in AtD. Steady-state stress accompanying pruritic dermatitis contributes to the development of anxiodepressive сonditions degrades quality of life, and stress-related increase of cortisol level may be essential in impairing the barrier function of the skin. Among the new approaches to the treatment of patients with AtD, the possibilities of using Selank, which represents the group of regulatory peptides and narrow-band phototherapy of the 311 nm range, are discussed.
