Atopic dermatitis is a chronic relapsing skin disease that occurs in people with an atopic constitution. It is often associated with other atopic diseases such as viral bronchitis, allergic rhinitis and asthma. It is most commonly found on the forehead, cheeks, temples, neck and outer sides of the extremities. Factors that influence the occurrence of atopic dermatitis are a positive family history and environmental influences. In the case of family history, mutations in two groups of genes causing atopic dermatitis are observed, which are thought to encode epidermal protein structures and key elements of the immune response. The group of environmental factors includes allergens and irritant products. The clinical picture of atopic dermatitis varies according to age and is divided into: infant phase, childhood phase, adolescent phase and adult phase. A clinical assessment called SCORAD is used to assess the severity and extent of atopic dermatitis. Children with atopic dermatitis are more susceptible to bacterial, viral and fungal infections due to reduced immunity and antimicrobial peptides. Complications that may arise are the colonization of the S. aureus bacteria. A severe infection caused by the herpes simplex virus called eczema herpeticum can also occur. Treatment of atopic dermatitis requires trust between health professionals and parents, as well as expertise to help the child alleviate or prevent symptoms. Atopic dermatitis is treated with oil baths to help with the itching, using moisturizing creams and ointments on the skin to prevent the skin from drying out. It is also treated with antibiotics, which are given to immunocompromised children because of their tendency to develop skin infections, as well as topical antihistamines, corticotherapy, phototherapy, moist dressings used for severe clinical atopic dermatitis and halotherapy. An online survey was conducted during the preparation of the thesis to gain insight into the impact of atopic dermatitis on the quality of life of children, the treatment of symptoms, use of medications and to and from whom parents get the most information about the disease. A total of 144 participants took part. Of the total, 66 (45.8%) participants responded that atopic dermatitis has a moderate impact on quality of life, most participants used nutritional creams (113; 78.5%), and most children did not receive allergy treatment. (82; 56.9%) the food to which children are most allergic is cow's milk (18; 41.9%) and parents are most trusting of the information they receive from health professionals (95; 66%).
