Atopic Dermatitis is a common disease characterized by inflamed, itching and dry skin. This relapsing allergic disorder has complex etiology and shows a remarkably high clinical heterogeneity which complicates the diagnosis and clinical management. This book is divided into 4 sections. The first section (Disease Etiology) describes some of the physiological mechanisms underlying Atopic Dermatitis, including alterations in the immune system and the skin-barrier function. The important role of host-microorganism interactions on the pathophysiology of Atopic Dermatitis is discussed in the second section (Microorganisms in Atopic Dermatitis). An overview of the clinical diagnostic criteria and the disease management protocols commonly used is given in the third section (Diagnosis and Clinical Management). The last section (New Treatments) describes new therapeutic approaches that are not widely used but are currently being studied due to preliminary evidence showing a clinical benefit for Atopic Dermatitis.

Atopic eczema (atopic dermatitis, neurodermitis diffusa, endogenous eczema) is one of the most common skin diseases of our time and is still increasing in prevalence dramatically all over the world. The reasons for this increase are not known. It occurs at any age, not only in childhood, approximately 2/3 of children affected will suffer from this disease when they are grown-up. Written by leading experts of their field, this second edition comprises the state of the art in pathophysiology, clinical medicine and therapeutic management. It demonstrates that there is no simple "miracle" cream, pill or diet for this disease, but that a disturbed barrier function can only be repaired by adequate and individualized skin care and it shows how unspecific anti-inflammatory treatment has to be individually tailored according to body area affected, patient age and acuity of skin lesions. All physicians will find this book most helpful in the painstaking search for the individual causal or eliciting factors.

The chapters in this volume provide an account of the present knowledge and understanding of Foot and Mouth disease virus pathogenesis and global epidemiology, the detailed structure of the virus itself and the properties of its RNA genome. Also considered are the immune response of the host and the state of the art in vaccine production, and the nature of virus evolution. It is clear that in all these areas there is still much more to learn about this fascinating virus. Because of its highly contagious nature research work on FMDV is restricted to a small number of laboratories worldwide that have adequate containment facilities. Despite this restriction, the recent progress in research on FMDV which is described in this volume has provided a remarkable level of understanding of this unique virus.

La consapevolezza che l’atopia sia l’espressione di una più facile suscettibilità della cute e delle mucose (oculari, respiratorie, digestive) agli agenti esterni in senso lato, porta alla logica conseguenza che i professionisti della salute che se ne debbano occupare siano vari e necessariamente coordinati. La nozione di atopia allarga il concetto tradizionale di allergia, perché in molti pazienti atopici non sono dimostrabili le classiche alterazioni immunologiche dell’allergia. Questi due fatti hanno quindi portato alla creazione di Dipartimenti dell’Atopia nelle strutture sanitarie di vari paesi. Lo scopo di questa pubblicazione è quello di "tradurre" e schematizzare gli argomenti svolti in maniera accademica nella prima edizione della Scuola dell’atopia e che si sono condensati nel testo omonimo. Questo libro, invece, si propone di essere uno strumento sintetico e di rapida consultazione, destinato a chi si confronta con questi pazienti nel quotidiano: medico, pediatra di base, infermiere o farmacista. Il libro comprende un atlante fotografico cronologico ed annotato delle principali manifestazioni dell’atopia cui segue la sezione degli algoritmi commentati su ciascuno dei principali capitoli. La terza parte, infine, offre un elenco critico dei "prodotti" per l’atopia disponibili in Italia ed include, oltre ai farmaci topici, una selezione dei dermocosmetici utili nella gestione dei questi pazienti.
