Type 2 inflammation and other factors

Atopic patients are prone to immediate-type allergies and many studies show a correlation between sensitization to aeroallergens and exacerbations of atopic dermatitis (AD). A common characteristic of atopic diseases is inflammation mediated by Th-2 cells. This results in therapeutic targets that modern system therapeutics make use of. The significance of allergen-specific immunotherapy in the context of AD is somewhat less clear.
