Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex and heterogeneous disease whose incidence and prevalence is increasing in developed countries. The management of patients with AD is sometimes difficult, and includes proper recognition of trigger factors. Here guidelines for the diagnosis and therapy of AD that are based on scientific evidence are proposed. The development of guidelines should avoid useless intervention, reduce disease costs and promote a better patient care.
