Many AD treatment goals focus on clinical manifestations, so that if a patient is free of lesions, their disease is considered well controlled. However, the inflammatory process underlying AD reaches far beyond the skin, affecting patients in unique ways at different stages of their lives. Education on the importance of treating AD beyond the skin and altering the treatment approach to fit the individual patient will help improve clinical management and reduce long-term patient burden.

In this video from the April 2025 WCPD symposium, Dr Paula Luna discusses the multidimensional disease burden in pediatric patients with AD and the data regarding how early intervention may lead to long-term disease control and a reduced risk of developing non-atopic comorbidities.

In this video from the April 2025 WCPD symposium, Dr Eulàlia Baselga discusses how early intervention during infancy and childhood in patients with AD may reduce the progression of the atopic march. Dr Baselga goes on to review data showing how the reduction of biomarkers such as IgE and CCL17 may reduce inflammation and sensitization that contribute to atopic comorbidities.

In this highlight video from the October 2024 ADVENT symposium at EAPS in Vienna, Austria, Dr Mark Boguniewicz discusses the prevalence of food sensitization and food allergy in pediatric patients with AD, clarifying the difference between the two. Dr Boguniewicz also discusses the prevalence of other atopic comorbidities in children with AD

In this clip from the April WCPD 2025 symposium, Dr Paula Luna discusses how moderate-to-severe AD may hinder growth in pediatric patients.

In this clip from the April WCPD 2025 symposium, Dr Eulàlia Baselga highlights the multidimensional burden of uncontrolled AD and how the various burdens contribute to Cumulative Life Course Impairment (CLCI).
Experts from different specialties use a case-based discussion to understand type 2 inflammatory diseases from a nurse practitioner perspective.
Join leading experts Miguel Lanz, Lakshi Aldredge, Angela Bretton, and Hilary Ugras in an engaging case-based discussion that explores the interconnected nature of chronic underlying type 2 inflammation and its profound impact across multiple diseases.

This video from the September 2024 ADVENT symposium at EADV’s Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, features Dr. Stephan Weidinger discussing how local type 2 inflammation at the skin tissue level contributes to epidermal barrier dysfunction, dysbiosis, and neuroimmune dysfunction, leading to the clinical signs and symptoms of AD. Dr. Weidinger also reviews how systemic inflammation affects organ systems beyond the skin and can manifest as atopic and non-atopic comorbidities.
