Acute infections in atopic dermatitis: a clue for a pathogenic role of a Th1/Th2 imbalance?

Dermatology : International Journal for Clinical and Investigative Dermatology

Abstract

Temporary improvement of atopic dermatitis lesions may occur after acute, severe infections. One such case is shortly described, and it is then proposed that such a phenomenon may serve as an indirect evidence to support the finding of a predominant Th2 imbalance in atopic dermatitis.
