Published: August 2004

Purpose Of Review: Atopic dermatitis, one of the most common chronic illnesses of childhood, is encountered routinely by all providers of health care to children.

Recent Findings: In recent years there has been a dramatic rise in the prevalence of atopic dermatitis and therefore a rapid increase in the number of studies investigating various aspects of the disease. Consequently, hundreds of publications are released each year, and it is difficult to stay up to date on the latest advances.

Summary: This review will examine and summarize recent literature on the diagnosis, epidemiology, pathogenesis, treatment, and complications of atopic dermatitis.

The skin is a barrier that protects the human body against environmental factors (physical, including solar radiation, chemicals, and pathogens). The integrity and, consequently, the effective metabolic activity of skin cells is ensured by the cell membrane, the important structural and metabolic elements of which are phospholipids. Phospholipids are subject to continuous transformation, including enzymatic hydrolysis (with the participation of phospholipases A, C, and D) to free polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which under the influence of cyclooxygenases (COX1/2), lipoxygenases (LOXs), and cytochrome P450 (CYPs P450) are metabolized to various classes of oxylipins, depending on the type of PUFA being metabolized and the enzyme acting.
