چکیده
Previous articles have presented interesting and tborougb discussions of the immunology of IgE, nnast cells, T-cells and the basic pharmacology of atopic dermatitis. Others have described some aspects of the treatment of atopic dermatitis by modification of diet, avoidance of inhalant allergens and psychotherapy. Tbis review will discuss recent advances in tberapy of atopic dermatitis (AD) excluding those presented in other articles. Some of these therapies are either experimental or somewhat controversial. However, new therapies sbould not be tried without first having given standard tberapy a long and reasonable cbance to succeed. This is important because AD does not last forever and many patients with a milder disease will heal spontaneously.
