Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: To review issues related to atopic dermatitis, including its classification, clinical presentation, potential triggers, and treatment options.
BACKGROUND: This continuing education activity is intended for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and registered nurses with an interest in skin and wound care.
OBJECTIVE: After participating in this educational activity, the participant will:1. Synthesize a differential diagnosis for atopic dermatitis (AD).2. Explain the classification of AD cases.3. Select triggers or exacerbating factors for AD.4. Explain pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment options for patients with AD.
Atopic dermatitis is the most common eczematous inflammatory skin condition, presenting with lesions that typically appear as poorly demarcated erythematous and scaly papules and plaques. The lesions most commonly occur on flexural surfaces of the knees, elbows, and wrists and are associated with moderate to severe itching. This article focuses on the clinical presentation of atopic dermatitis and treatment options. Other related topics include epidemiology, pathogenesis, risk factors, triggers, and differential diagnoses.

摘要：
目的：回顾与特应性皮炎有关的问题，包括它的分类，临床表现,潜在的触发因素,和治疗选择。
背景：这项继续教育活动旨在针对医生，医师助理,执业护士,和对皮肤和伤口护理感兴趣的注册护士。
目的：参加本次教育活动后，参与者将：1。综合特应性皮炎(AD)的鉴别诊断。解释AD病例的分类。选择AD.4的触发因素或加剧因素。解释AD患者的药物和非药物治疗选择。
特应性皮炎是最常见的湿疹性炎症性皮肤病，表现为典型表现为界限不清的红斑和鳞状丘疹和斑块的病变。病变最常发生在膝盖的弯曲表面，肘部,和手腕，并伴有中度至重度瘙痒。本文主要介绍特应性皮炎的临床表现及治疗方案。其他相关主题包括流行病学，发病机制，危险因素，触发器,和鉴别诊断。
