Atopic Dermatitis: Eczema-1판

This book presents the state of the art in research into atopic dermatitis, or atopic eczema, and provides numerous
effective practical management recommendations that are grounded in the immense clinical experience of the author. A
scientific evidence-based approach to the subject is adopted, progressing from clinical symptoms in different disease
stages, molecular genetics, and pathophysiology through to treatment and prevention. All aspects of patient management
are covered, including diagnostics, avoidance strategies, emollient therapy, and acute treatment of eczema and itch.
Diverse special therapeutic approaches are discussed, ranging from glucocorticoids, topical calcineurin inhibitors, and
antimicrobial therapy through to UV therapy, allergen-specific immunotherapy, systemic immunosuppressive therapy, and
emerging options. Environmental influences are considered, and there is a focus on the whole human being, with
attention to psychosocial aspects of the disease and the benefit of educational programs such as “eczema schools”.
Atopic Dermatitis will be invaluable for dermatologists, allergists, pediatricians, and general practitioners and
informative for other interested persons and sufferers.

Review
“Cohesive and comprehensive discussions of the immunology, presentation, and current treatments of atopic dermatitis
are presented in this single-authored book. … The audience is dermatologists. … author does an excellent job of
weaving the immunology and pathophysiology with the clinical information. … This is a well-written book on all aspects
of eczema with well-chosen color clinical photographs. This will be the first reference that I choose to read when next
confronted with a patient with a difficult case of eczema.” (Patricia Wong, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2016)
