[Clinical forms of atopic neurodermatitis]. 1990

B T Glukhen'kiĭ, and S A Grando

Basing on their own observations and analysis of data on the clinical picture and pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis, the authors suggest that four clinical forms of this condition be distinguished: erythematous squamous, erythematous squamous with lichen transformation, lichenoid, and prurigo-like. They consider it advisable that such terms as catarrhal exudative diathesis, childhood eczema, and diffuse neurodermatitis be used no more. Itching is suggested to be considered as a symptom and not cause of itching dermatoses.
