Das Sommerekzem – neue Ansätze in Diagnostik und Therapie

Katharina Birkmann
,
Antonia Fettelschoss-Gabriel

Eine erfolgreiche Behandlung des Sommerekzems basiert auf dem Verständnis der Pathomechanismen und den daraufhin entwickelten und optimierten diagnostischen Tests. Hier gibt es einige neue Ansätze, ebenso wie bei den Allergen-unabhängigen Therapiemöglichkeiten.
