چکیده
Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common skin disease of childhood which may cause debilitating symptoms and greatly impair the quality of life of the patient and his relatives [1]. Treatment of chronic AD usually focuses on topical regimen of emolients and immunosuppressants, although systemic immunosuppressive therapy is sometimes required in more severe cases. Omalizumab is a humanized monoclonal antiIgE antibody that binds at the high-affinity receptor (FcεRI) binding site that has revealed some potential in the treatment of severe and recalcitrant AD [2].
