RESUMO
This document is intended to provide practical guidance to physicians treating pediatric atopic dermatitis (AD), especially dermatologists, pediatricians, allergists, and other health-care professionals. The recommendations contained here were formalized based on a consensus of 12 Canadian pediatric dermatologists, dermatologists, pediatricians, and pediatric allergists with extensive experience managing AD in the pediatric population. A modified Delphi process was adopted with iterative voting on a 5-point Likert scale, with a prespecified agreement cutoff of 75%. Topic areas addressed in the 17 consensus statements reflect areas of practical management, including counselling, assessment, comorbidity management, and therapy.

Pediatric atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common dermatoses encountered by health-care providers treating children. Diagnosis of AD is clinical, with no universally accepted biomarkers or assessment tools. Patient-reported outcomes and subjective assessments of quality of life in both the patient and family are important considerations when treating pediatric AD. Here, we provide an overview of pediatric AD epidemiology, its clinical presentation, burden, diagnosis, and assessment, with a focus on implications for patient counseling in order to optimize care.

We describe asymptomatic bone cysts in the right humerus of a 17-year-old boy with Darier disease. The cysts were found when a radiographic skeletal survey was performed to monitor for adverse effects of oral retinoid therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to confirm that the lesions were cystic and to delineate their extent. The literature was reviewed for previous reports of this association.
