Abstract

In this article problems in care of severe atopic dermatitis (AD) are considered. The main medications for AD treatment are topical corticosteroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors and emollients. In spite of adequate topical therapy the disease often gets a severe recurrent course with frequent exacerbations. In such cases treatment is considered to be a difficult problem and quite often it is necessary to use systemic preparations: corticosteroids, immunosupressors, cytostatics. They are able to reduce and control exacerbations fast and effectively, but because of side effects these preparations shouldn’t be applied for a long time. Considering increase of severe AD cases, now great attention is given to immunotherapy. In the article the retrospective analysis of data about 56 severe AD patients who underwent a course of complex treatment including plasmapheresis and intravenous immunoglobulins is presented.
