Eczema Herpeticum Complicating Atopic Dermatitis: A Rare Presentation.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) has become a global health concern due to an increase in its frequency over the past few decades. This illness not only reduces the quality of life but also imposes a considerable financial burden due to the increased risk of skin infections.

What are their priorities related to a healthy life for older people? Which governance mechanisms are used to implement such policies? These are some of the questions addressed in this paper, targeting Portugal, a southern European country.
