Combined external therapy of atopic dermatitis complicated with a secondary infection

Abstract

The authors discuss the reasons of the violation of the skin barrier in patients suffering from atopic dermatitis and determine the role of pyococcus, dermatomycetes and yeast-like fungi in the development of this disease. They also describe the reasons of failures of the external therapy of atopic dermatitis with the use of combined drugs containing antibiotics. The authors substantiate the possibility of using the Travocort cream in case the disease is complicated with a secondary infection. They also describe their own study of the treatment of eczema herpeticum when the Travocort cream was included in the external therapy.
