Overview

In 1933, atopic dermatitis was first coined by two American dermatologists, Fred Wise and Marion Sulzberger. The first study on the clinical features of asthma as well as allergic rhinitis and genetics was performed by Cooke and Vander in 1916. An association of higher serum IgE levels was published by Bruno Wüthrich in 1978.

Historical Perspective

Discovery

  • One of the very first traces of the relationship between allergies and genetic factors was described by Hippocrates.[1]
  • In 1816, Willan and Bateman described a disease, “Porrigo larvalis,” which is identified as one of the earliest descriptions of atopic dermatitis.[2][3][4]
  • The first systemic study on the clinical features of asthma as well as allergic rhinitis and genetics was performed by Cooke and Vander in 1916.[5]
  • The association between heritable hypersensitivity to allergens in patients with asthma and hay fever and atopic dermatitis was made in 1923 by Arthur Coca and Robert Cooke.[6][7]
  • The term atopic dermatitis was first coined from the Greek word, atopos, by Fred Wise and Marion Sulzberger, American dermatologists, in 1933. Fred Wise and Marion Sulzberger enhanced Arthur Coca and Robert Cooke's concept to include the description of atopic dermatitis.[3][8][9][10]
  • A paper reporting a patient with atopic dermatitis was published by Bruno Wüthrich in 1978, demonstrating on average higher serum IgE levels compared with controls.[11]
  • The first widely used diagnostic criteria for atopic dermatitis was published by Jon Hanifin and Georg Rajka, in 1980.[12]
  • Hanifin and Rajka's criteria was modified by Williams et al. in 1997, to develop the UK Working Party criteria, in which an individual must have itchy skin for 12 months along with other features.[13]
  • In 2006, filaggrin gene mutations were first implicated in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis by Palmer et al.[14]
