Estratto
La dermatite atopica (DA) è una malattia ad eziopatogenesi complessa, in cui, accanto ad un’alterata funzione di barriera che determina una diminuzione delle difese cutanee, gli allergeni giocano un ruolo fondamentale [1, 2]. Allergeni, sia alimentary che inalatori, quali pollini, acari, micofiti, forfore ed epiteli animali, oltre che sensibilizzanti inorganici responsabili di reazioni da contatto, sono i fattori immunologici che intervengono nell’eziopatogenesi della DA.
