1 The exact pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis remains a mystery
The exact pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis remains a mystery. Patients with the disease seem to have altered autonomic function and increased plasma histamine levels. Many have elevated levels of IgE, but some are completely normal in this respect. However, none of these observations has yet provided a basis for understanding the chronic and recurrent skin lesions of atopic dermatitis. An inherited abnormality in filaggrin expression affects barrier function and seems to be associated with this disease in some children.
