Registry for the Atopic Dermatitis Research Network (ADRN-02)

People with atopic dermatitis (AD), also known as eczema, experience hot, dry, scaly skin with severe itching. In addition, people with AD are prone to skin infections and inflammation. Little is known about the causes of AD or why people with AD are more prone to infections. The purpose of this multi-center, clinical registry study is to determine genetic markers associated with susceptibility of AD patients to infections and to also serve as a potential participant database for future studies.
