Atopic dermatitis is highly prevalent, especially among children. Many authors consider atopic dermatitis as the initial stage of the atopic march, which typically manifests in the first year of life. Topical agents such as topical glucocorticosteroids and topical calcineurin inhibitors are the first-line treatments for atopic dermatitis. In recent years, there has been an increasing use of modern systemic anti-inflammatory agents, such as monoclonal antibodies and Janus kinase inhibitors.</p> <p>Therapy of patients with atopic dermatitis is aimed at relieving itching, improving skin barrier function, reducing inflammation, preventing skin infection and exacerbations. The effectiveness of treatment lies not only in improving the symptoms and quality of life of patients with atopic dermatitis, but also in preventing them from developing chronic or severe symptoms.</p> <p>Modern topical glucocorticosteroids and their combinations, have a proven high safety profile. However, available data on adverse events associated with their use often lead patients and their parents to develop a negative, phobic attitude towards treatment with these drugs. Zinc pyrithione, an activated form of zinc, is a safe and highly effective medication with anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial properties.</p> <p>This article presents two clinical cases of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in children, demonstrating the effectiveness of using activated zinc pyrithione in comprehensive therapy for this condition.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Атопический дерматит ― мультифакторное генетически детерминированное воспалительное заболевание кожи, в основе которого лежат нарушение эпидермального барьера и Т2-воспаление. Характеризуется высокой распространённостью, особенно среди детей. Атопический дерматит рассматривается многими авторами как первая ступень атопического марша (системное заболевание, имеющее тесную взаимосвязь с развитием других Т2-заболеваний, таких как пищевая аллергия, аллергический ринит, бронхиальная астма), и в большинстве случаев манифестирует на первом году жизни.</p> <p>Терапия пациентов с атопическим дерматитом направлена на облегчение зуда, улучшение барьерной функции кожи, уменьшение воспаления, профилактику инфицирования кожи и обострений. Эффективность лечения заключается не только в улучшении симптомов и качества жизни больных атопическим дерматитом, но и в предотвращении развития у них хронических или тяжёлых симптомов. Препаратами первой линии терапии атопического дерматита являются топические средства ― глюкокортикоиды и ингибиторы кальциневрина. В последние годы широко используются современные системные противовоспалительные средства, такие как моноклональные антитела, ингибиторы янус-киназ. Современные топические глюкокортикоиды, в том числе комбинированные, обладают доказанным высоким профилем безопасности, вместе с тем доступные данные о нежелательных явлениях, связанных с их применением, формируют у пациентов и их родителей негативное, фобическое отношение к лечению этими препаратами.</p> <p>Безопасным, высокоэффективным средством, обладающим противовоспалительным, противогрибковым и антибактериальным действием, является активированный цинк пиритион.</p> <p>В статье представлены два клинических случая среднетяжёлого и тяжёлого течения атопического дерматита у детей, продемонстрирована эффективность применения в комплексной терапии препаратов активированного цинка пиритиона.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>atopic dermatitis</kwd><kwd>topical therapy</kwd><kwd>topical anti-inflammatory agents</kwd><kwd>activated zinc pyrithione</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>атопический дерматит</kwd><kwd>наружная терапия</kwd><kwd>топические противовоспалительные средства</kwd><kwd>активированный цинк пиритион</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This work was supported by Invar company.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Работа и подготовка публикации выполнены при поддержке ООО «Инвар» (Россия).</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Kubanov AA, Namazova-Baranova LS, Khaitov RM, et al.
