Article Abstract
Constitutional eczema in children is common. It itches and has a negative impact on quality of life. Although there are good treatments, in practice many children appear to be undertreated. Possible causes of this are: insufficient knowledge about background and treatment and insufficient cooperation between care providers. In addition, many parents are unjustly afraid of the adverse effects of hormone ointments. Some caregivers are just as afraid of hormone ointments as parents. A comment from one of them can damage the confidence of parents in the effectiveness and safety of these ointments.In our opinion, children with eczema deserve better. That is why we propose to organize regional care, education and cooperation for children with eczema. Not only general practitioners and dermatologists should participate; pharmacists and pharmacy assistants, youth health care physicians and nurses and paediatricians should also join. Information material must be uniform.

Eosinophil-associated diseases (EADs) are a group of conditions in which eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) are thought to play a key role in the disease and how it develops. Some EADs are common, such as atopic dermatitis (also called eczema) and a subtype of asthma called eosinophilic asthma, while others are rare, such as hypereosinophilic syndrome (a condition in which a person has a very high number of eosinophils in both the blood and one or more organs). People with EADs face many problems related to their conditions.

The vast population of bacterial phages or viruses (virome) plays pivotal roles in the ecology of human microbial flora and health conditions. Obstacles, including poor viral sequence inference, strain-sensitive virus-host relationship, and the high diversity among individuals, hinder the in-depth understanding of the human virome. We conducted longitudinal studies of the virome based on constructing a high-quality personal reference metagenome (PRM).
