Epidemiology and clinical features of atopic dermatitis in India
Indian J Dermatol.
2011 Sep-Oct.
Abstract
Literature on atopic dermatitis (AD) has experienced a spurt in the recent years with interest on genetics, immunology, pathogenesis, psychological impact, development of newer more effective and safer treatment agents. Indian literature on AD is limited, probably due to lower prevalence, and milder disease. In this review, we have discussed the Indian literature on epidemiology and clinical features of AD.
Keywords: Atopic dermatitis; India; clinical features; epidemiology.
