Abstract Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a complex immune dysregulation and interplay of genetic, environmental and psychological factors. Activation and skin-selective homing of peripherial-blood T cells, and effector functions in the skin, represent sequential events in the pathogenesis. Dysregulated apoptosis in skin-homing T cells, eosinophils and keratino-cytes contributes to the elicitation and persistence of atopic derrmatitis.
