Atopic dermatitis is a complex inflammatory condition characterized by synergist interactions between epidermal and immune related genotypes, skin barrier defects and immune dysregulation as well as microbial dysbiosis. Ethnicity-specific variations in clinical presentation, immune endotypes and genetic susceptibility have been described in diverse populations. We summarize available data with specific consideration of AD in populations of African ancestry.

- The study evaluates the use of Bubble CPAP (bCPAP) in reducing pneumonia-related deaths in children at the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital from 2016-2018.
- Out of 500 children treated with bCPAP, 53% were male, with a median age of 3.7 months, and the majority had no underlying medical conditions.
- A small percentage required invasive ventilation (8%) and only 12 (2%) children died, indicating that bCPAP is a promising intervention in low-resourced settings.
