Low Dose MTX for AD
« Reply #1 on: January 20, 2010, 10:59:36 am »
BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis or atopic eczema is an itchy inflammatory skin condition with a predilection of the skin flexures. Most cases start in children although some have been reported in adults. Patients with moderate to severe disease refractory to topical corticosteroid or calcineurin inhibitors may require second-line treatment such as phototherapy or systemic immunosuppressants. Methotrexate therapy has been suggested as a useful immunosuppressant in adult atopic dermatitis.
