Zusammenfassung

Das atopische Ekzem ist eine sehr häufige, chronisch rezidivierende, mit starkem Juckreiz einhergehende, meist bereits im frühen Kindesalter sich manifestierende Hauterkrankung, die stetig zunimmt. Trotz vieler Fortschritte ist die Ätiopathogenese noch nicht völlig geklärt. Multiple, individuell unterschiedliche Provokationsfaktoren sind bekannt, die möglichst erkannt und eliminiert werden sollten. Bei akuten Ekzemschüben kommen Immunsuppressiva zum Einsatz. Generell sollte bei den Betroffenen auf regelmäßige Hautpflege geachtet werden.

Summary

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic pruritic skin disease, which often begins early in infancy and presents with increasing prevalence. The etiopathogenesis is very complex, but in the last decade it has become clear that T-cells play a prominent role. There are multiple, individually variable provocative factors. They should be identified by proper diagnostic measures and eliminated. In acute atopic dermatitis, therapy usually is with immunosuppressive drugs (topically or systemically). Generally, patients with atopic dermatitis should apply topical emollients daily to protect their skin.
