Correspondence to: S Conroy, The Medical School, Derbyshire Children’s Hospital, Uttoxeter Road, Derby DE22 3DT, UK; Sharon.conroy@ nottingham.ac.uk _________________________ E czema is the most common chronic skin disease, affecting 15 to 20% children in developed countries. Altered T cell function appears to be the primary immunological abnormality and patients have raised levels of IgE. Most patients are managed by their general practitioner, with only a minority referred to secondary care, representing 10–20% of specialist dermatologist referrals. One third of patients have persistent disease throughout adulthood with a prevalence of about 2% in adults in the UK. Bath oils, emollients and topical corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment. Other treatments include minimising exacerbating factors, systemic antihistamines, phototherapy, and oral immunosuppressants such as azathioprine and ciclosporin. 6 Tacrolimus and pimecrolimus are two new topical preparations widely advertised in medical and pharmaceutical journals for the treatment of eczema.
