Abstract :  The world of Atopic Dermatitis is full of new findings that will directly impact patient education. New studies on filaggrin mutations will cause us to change our perspectives about bacterial colonization of the skin, since we now know that staphylococcus epidermis helps the immune system.

Abstract : Therapeutic patient education has existed for 30 years in Geneva and programmes have been established for 35 chronic diseases, however nothing has been done in dermatology.

E-HEALTH AND THERAPEUTIC PATIENT EDUCATION (TPE)

The internet has changed our lives and the way we access information. The center in San Diego distributes information via the website www.eczemacenter.org. The internet should be used as a source of information since nowadays it is difficult to ensure that patients come and participate in our information and training sessions. On the website, care modules are provided for patients by the nurses and exchanges are dynamic and the information is spread. Even though we encourage our patients to use this new communication tool to have access to our care modules (bleach baths) there remains a risk of the spread of unfiltered information potentially harmful for patients when they carry out their own research....
