摘要

During a Science and Innovation Theater presentation at the 2016 Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy annual meeting in San Francisco, California (April 19-22, 2016), Jonathan Silverberg, MD, PhD, MPH, assistant professor of dermatology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, uncovered the burdens of atopic dermatitis (AD); communicated the current science, which demonstrates the underlying inflammation in AD; highlighted the association between inflammation and T helper type 2 cell (Th2)-driven immune dysregulation; and described how optimal management can reset expectations of disease control.
