Atopic dermatitis (AD) results from barrier defects combined with modified immune
responses of the innate and the adaptive immune system to exogenous and endogenous
factors. Recent research has continued to sort out the complex pathophysiologic puzzle of
this frequent skin disease. However, the network of mechanisms leading to the manifestation
of AD is far from being completely understood.
