Abstract: 【Abstract】 Atopic dermatitis in the elderly (> 60 years old) differs from that in children and adults in terms of demographical characteristics, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and complications, and special considerations are needed for its diagnosis and treatment. Thus, the Immunology Group of the Chinese Society of Dermatology developed an expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of atopic dermatitis in the elderly, aiming to standardize and guide the effective management of elderly patients with atopic dermatitis.
