ABSTRACT

Atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the skin; has a topographical distribution specified according to patient age and characterized by erythematous plaques, and appear to be itchy outbreaks; has a physiopathogeny where affected skin barrier so the mainstay of treatment is education, the use of emollients and topical steroids low and medium power; however, there are severe, recalcitrant or poor response to standard treatment in those forms is necessary to use a systemic treatment aiming control disease and improve their quality of life. This literature review is performed with the aim of knowing the drugs used most often in children with severe atopic dermatitis; the information presently known, its safety when administered in pediatric population; the optimal dose is established, the potential adverse effects and the following; however, is at the discretion of the treating physician to individualize each patient for operation and in all cases educate about the disease and the care of your skin.
