Journal of Asthma and Allergy

The Journal of Asthma and Allergy is pleased to invite you to submit your research to the Article Collection “Atopic Dermatitis and Other Atopic Comorbidities”.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory cutaneous disorder. Currently, AD has been found to be associated with substantial patient burden and numerous atopic comorbidities, including asthma, allergic rhinitis, food allergy, and eosinophilic esophagitis, as well as nonatopic comorbidities, including allergic contact dermatitis, anxiety, depression, suicidality, infections, and cardiovascular disease. All these comorbidities led to the recognition of AD as a systemic disease. Of note, the relationship between AD and comorbidities is likely bidirectional and multifactorial, as well as some comorbidities may be secondary to the effects of the burden of chronic AD.

This Article Collection aims to explore the association between atopic dermatitis and other atopic comorbidities, shedding light on the shared pathophysiological mechanisms and the implications for clinical management.

This Article Collection aims to bring together original research articles, review articles, and commentaries exploring the pathogenesis of atopic diseases, also considering primary immune defects presenting as AD, the role of environmental factors, the impact of environmental allergies and infections, novel diagnostic approaches (including biomarkers), and emerging therapeutic approaches (including biologic treatments and JAK inhibitors). Articles regarding all the atopic diseases (asthma, food allergy, allergic rhinitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, and atopic dermatitis) are welcome.

Potential topics include the following aspects:
- Epidemiology and burden of atopic comorbidities
- Pathophysiological mechanisms
- The role of environmental allergies in atopic diseases
- Biomarkers in atopic diseases
- Asthma and allergic rhinitis in atopic dermatitis
- Atopic dermatitis and food allergies
- Atopic dermatitis and mental health
- Novel therapeutic approaches
- The use of biologics in atopic diseases
- Clinical management and guidelines

The deadline for submissions is 31st December 2024.

Upon submission, please use the promo code MWTAB for 10% off the advertised article processing charge and indicate that your manuscript will be considered for the “Atopic Dermatitis and Other Atopic Comorbidities” Collection.
