Symptoms develop after the first three months of a baby\u2019s life, sometimes even before that time (between the 4<sup>th<\/sup> and the 8<sup>th<\/sup> week). Approximately 80% of all patients become ill before reaching the age of 2.<span style=\"font-size: 12.75px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em;\">5 <\/span>The condition is a result of genetic and environmental factors and ranges in severity from mild and moderate to severe.<span style=\"font-size: 12.75px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em;\">12<\/span>\u00a0<strong>The number of atopic dermatitis patients has increased dramatically in the last few years, especially in the Western world.<\/strong> This is especially true for children. In years 1939 to 1964, 1.3\u20143% of children were affected by the condition. Between the years 1980 and 2005, the percentage of the little patients has risen to 20<span style=\"font-size: 12.75px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em;\">5,25<\/span>\u00a0, according to some sources, even to 30.<span style=\"font-size: 12.75px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em;\">21<\/span> In one third of the children, atopic dermatitis disappears as they reach puberty.

The course of the illness for patients with the extrinsic type is much more <strong>complicated<\/strong> and<strong> difficult<\/strong> than for patients with the intrinsic type of atopic dermatitis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The intrinsic type<\/strong> of atopic dermatitis involves <strong>normal ranges of serum IgE antibodies<\/strong> and the <strong>absence of any specific serum IgE antibodies<\/strong>.<span style=\"font-size: 12.75px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em;\">9<\/span> This type is not yet well researched and it is possible that the patients may have specific serum IgE antibodies for allergens that are yet to be discovered.<span style=\"font-size: 12.75px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em;\">5,10<\/span> The intrinsic type occurs much more often in children (especially girls) than in adults, begins<strong> later in life<\/strong> and has a<strong> milder course<\/strong> than the extrinsic type.<span style=\"font-size: 12.75px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em;\">17<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Patients of both types can develop <strong>eosinophilia.<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12.75px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em;\">44<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.76471rem; font-style: normal;\">Risk factors for developing atopic dermatitis<\/h3>\n<p>Risk factors for the development of atopic dermatitis are numerous: mutations in the gene for the production of filaggrin, family history of atopy, having a high education, living in a small family, living in an urban environment (the hygiene hypothesis), drinking alcohol and taking antibiotics during pregnancy, experiencing stress during pregnancy, experiencing stress in general, suffering from obesity, living in certain climates, living in places with high air pollution, etc.\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 12.75px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em;\">8,19-22,55<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Currently, there are<strong> two etiological hypotheses<\/strong> for atopic dermatitis that are not mutually exclusive.<span style=\"font-size: 12.75px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em;\">3,6,8,45<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The epidermal barrier dysfunction hypothesis (the \u201cfrom-without\u201d concept)<\/strong>: The hypothesis is based on the premise that atopic dermatitis is caused by a dysfunctional skin barrier, which is the result of a low level of lipids in the epidermis and the mutations in the filaggrin production gene. The gene mutation can be found in 15\u201450% of atopic dermatitis patients. The skin of such patients quickly loses moisture and is therefore dry, sensitive and can be penetrated by allergens and microorganisms, which trigger the immune system response.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The immune dysregulation hypothesis (the \u201cfrom-within\u201d concept):<\/strong> This hypothesis is based on the premise that atopic dermatitis is caused by a dysregulation in the immune system of the patients. The patients\u2019 bodies become more prone to inflammatory responses, which expresses itself as the imbalance in the functioning of Th1 and Th2 lymphocytes. In the acute phase of the illness, the body responds with a heightened level of Th2 cells, which leads to the increased production of serum IgE antibodies and lowers the production of the protein filaggrin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.76471rem; font-style: normal;\">The course of the illness<\/h3>\n<h4 style=\"font-size: 1.52941rem; font-style: normal;\">Atopic dermatitis in babies<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 300;\">In babies, atopic dermatitis usually develops 3 months after birth, sometimes even between the 4<sup>th<\/sup> and the 8<sup>th<\/sup> week of the baby\u2019s life.\u00a0 Approximately 80% of the cases develop before the age of two.<span style=\"font-size: 12.75px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em;\">5<\/span> The inflammation usually appears on the baby\u2019s cheeks, forehead, scalp and behind the ears.

The skin on the neck and the face is heavily affected, and 30% of the patients also develop inflammations all over their palms. The skin thickens, is red, dry and scabby, with scratching marks.
