Atopic dermatitis

In the current issue of the Annals, Bridgman et al1 provide an overview on the multidimensional burden of atopic dermatitis (AD). It is clear from this perspective that patients with AD are affected in multiple ways, leading to impaired quality of life and social functioning, low self-esteem, more sick days, reduced physical activity, and academic and work impairment. These effects lead to disruption not only of the patients' lives but that of their families, with increased feelings of helplessness, stress, and low general life satisfaction.
