Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) affects up to 20% of children and is considered the starting point of the atopic march with the development of food allergy, asthma, and allergic rhinitis. The heterogeneous phenotype reflects distinct and/or overlapping pathogenetic mechanisms with varying degrees of epidermal barrier disruption, activation of different T cell subsets and dysbiosis of the skin microbiome. Here, we review current evidence suggesting a systemic impact of the cutaneous inflammation in AD together with a higher risk of asthma and other comorbidities, especially in severe and persistent AD.
