In this online, self-learning activity: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, highly pruritic inflammatory skin disease that is one of the most common skin disorders in children but may develop at any age. It affects fifteen to 30 percent of children and two to 10 percent of adults in developed countries, and between ten and 30 percent of children who have the condition continue to experience it in adulthood. AD is thought to arise from a complicated interplay between multiple genes, environmental triggers, and cytokines, with known risk factors including family history and loss of function mutations in filaggrin. Complications and comorbidities include food allergy, asthma, and allergic rhinitis, and aside from genetics, its pathophysiology involves T-cell mediated inflammation and epidermal dysfunction. The disease is associated with a considerable healthcare burden placed on patients and their families; pruritis aside, patients not uncommonly suffer a loss of sleep and experience secondary infections, anxiety, and depression.
