POSSIBILITIES OF REPLACEMENT INTERFERON THERAPY TO TREAT ATOPIC DERMATITIS IN IMMUNOCOMPROMISED PATIENTS

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis remains an important medico-social problem, whose significance is determined by the steady increase in morbidity, recurrent course and often low therapeutic efficacy. In recent years, the number of patients suffering from severe forms of atopic dermatitis has increased [1–3]. One of the most important causes of the complication of an allergic disease is the combination of allergies and secondary immune deficiency syndrome characterized by reversible (as a rule) disturbances of the functions and adaptation mechanisms of the immune system [4, 5].
