About the Book

Atopic eczema (atopic dermatitis, neurodermitis diffusa, endogenous eczema) is one of the most common skin diseases of our time and is still increasing in prevalence dramatically all over the world. The reasons for this increase are not known. It occurs in any age, not only in childhood, approximately 2/3 of children affected will suffer from this disease when they are grown-up. Written by leading experts of their field, this second edition comprises the state of the art in pathophysiology, clinical medicine and therapeutic management. It demonstrates that there is no simple "miracle" cream, pill or diet for this disease, but that a disturbed barrier function can only be repaired by adequate and individualized skin care and it shows how unspecific anti-inflammatory treatment has to be individually tailored according to body area affected, patient age and acuity of skin lesions. All physicians will find this book most helpful in the painstaking search for the individual causal or eliciting factors.

Review :
Aus den Rezensionen zur 2. Auflage: "! Wer den Suchaufwand mit dem Internet scheut und auch im Zeitalter der elektronischen Medien Bucher als Informationsquelle bevorzugt, dem sei das 'Handbook of Atopic Eczema' empfohlen. ! Die Tatsache, dass selbst unkonventionellen Therapieformen ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet ist, in denen diese kritisch und zugleich ausserst differenziert beleuchtet werden, wertet das Buch zusatzlich auf. ! das 'Handbook of Atopic Eczema' ist ein absolutes Muss fur all jene, die sich intensiv mit diesem Krankheitsbild beschaftigen." (Oliver Brandt, Derzeit umfassendstes Nachschlagewerk, in: Deutsches A rzteblatt, 2007, Vol. 104, S. 256) Aus den Rezensionen zur 2. Auflage: "! In 66 Kapiteln befassen sich international renommierte Kliniker und Forscher mit dem atopischen Ekzem und seinen verschiedenen Facetten ! Entstanden ist ein praktisch keine Wunsche offen lassendes, sehr gut lesbares Buch. Kritisch anzumerken ist allenfalls, dass die klinischen Abbildungen von recht unterschiedlicher Qualitat sind und die Nomenklatur nicht einheitlich verwendet wird. Dem Werk ist eine weite Verbreitung zu wunschen. Es sollte in keiner Klinik oder Praxis fehlen." (Prof Dr. Thomas Fuchs, Ekzem in allen Facetten, in: Allergo Journal, 2006, Issue 8, S. 546) "! Samtliche Kapitel sind reichhaltig ! illustriert. Die Vielzahl an klinischen Bildern, Tabellen und Schemata verdeutlicht anschaulich die im Text beschriebene Thematik und ist insbesondere fur das Verstandnis von pathophysiologischen Zusammenhangen und therapeutischen Wirkmechanismen von grossem Wert. ! Am Ende jedes Kapitels finden sich ferner eine umfassende Referenzliste, die es dem inreressierten Leser erlaubt rasch auf die zugrunde liegende Literatur zuruckzugreifen. ! Aus diesem Grunde sollte dieses Standardwerk in keinem Bucherregal ! fehlen." (Claudia Pfohler, in: JDDG - Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, 2006, Vol. 4, Issue 5, S. 448 f.)
