Features of immunopathogenesis of atopic dermatitis

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common allergic diseases with severe course, which affects the skin. This disease is genetically determined and has a chronic course. Atopic dermatitis is also one of the commonest diseases (between 20% and 40% of all skin disorders) and affects patients of both sexes across the globe. Such high rate of morbidity, onset in early childhood, often continuous relapsing course and a trend toward gradual increase of tolerance to traditional therapies makes the issue of detalization of pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis particularly topical. Immune cells play one of the major roles in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis. This article will systematically review the main available to date information on participation immune cells in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis.
