Care for children with atopic dermatitis
- Dětská sestra 1. dětské interní kliniky FN Brno –, Kožní oddělení
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects up to 20 % of the population. The mainstay of treatment is adherence to
a certain regimen and regular skin care (softening) with external drugs. The role of an experienced nurse in the treatment of children with
AD is irreplaceable. When applied correctly, external treatment is effective; therefore, it is important to train parents to use a proper technique.
AD has a significant impact on the quality of life of both the ill child and the whole family. The author describes the principles of
proper care for children with atopic dermatitis in an outpatient setting and at the bed ward of a dermatology department.
