The HLA antigens in a family with atopic dermatitis were studied. All family members with atopic dermatitis had haplotype A2, Bw35, Cw4. It has been recently demonstrated that HLA type Bw35 is found with an increased frequency in atopic dermatitis. There appears to be an inconsistent and weak correlation between atopic dermatitis and HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C loci.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent condition that has been associated with stress, but epidemiologic data on the impact of both common and severe childhood stressors are limited. Our objective was to evaluate the impact of stressful life events throughout early childhood on AD activity and severity. We conducted a longitudinal cohort study of 13,972 children ages 1 to 8.

NLRX1 is an important regulator of inflammatory signaling in innate immune cells. Recent studies indicate NLRX1 activation may be a novel mechanism for inflammatory diseases, however, it has not been explored in atopic dermatitis (AD). Our study aims to investigate the potential role of NLRX1 in the pathogenesis of AD.

Background: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating new systemic treatments for atopic dermatitis (AD) have increased dramatically over the last decade. These trials often incorporate topical therapies either as permitted concomitant or rescue treatments. Differential use of these topicals post-randomisation introduces potential bias as they may nullify or exaggerate treatment responses.

Background: Dupilumab was first approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 2017 for atopic dermatitis and has since been approved for many other indications. The use of dupilumab has grown, but industry payments to physicians have yet to be explored.
Objective: The study objective is to characterize the change in payments by pharmaceutical companies to physicians for dupilumab-related promotional activities.
