ABSTRACT
Atopic dermatitis (also known as atopic eczema) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disease commonly seen in children, with increasing prevalence over the past few decades in many countries including Taiwan. The management of pediatric atopic dermatitis can be challenging, particularly as treatment options are expanding with the emergence of novel systemic and topical anti-inflammatory medications in recent years. The Taiwan Academy of Pediatric Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (TAPAAI) has developed the Taiwan guidelines for the diagnosis and management of pediatric atopic dermatitis, which provides a concise overview of its epidemiology, clinical characteristics and diagnosis, mechanisms, treatments, and education. The contents of this guideline integrate the principles of recent national and international guidelines for the diagnosis and management of atopic dermatitis, latest research findings, and expert opinions of experienced pediatric allergy specialists in Taiwan. For practical purposes, this guideline presents simplified and easy-to-use diagnostic criteria and severity grading for pediatric atopic dermatitis. A stepwise treatment algorithm is also proposed to expedite rational, cost-effective, and evidence-based management strategy. This guideline, developed based on current best evidence and real-world experience of pediatric allergy experts in Taiwan, is intended to facilitate practical, up-to-date management of pediatric atopic dermatitis among physicians.
