摘要
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by intensely pruritic subacute and chronic eczematous plaques, the pathogenesis of which appears to involve a complex interplay of genetic, pharmacological, environmental and psychological factors. Here, Markus Grewe and colleagues propose that the development of skin lesions in AD patients results from sequential activation of T helper 2 (Th2)- and Th1-type cells.
