Allergy to house dust mite (HDM) such as Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, nickel and infection by Staphylococcus aureus are frequent in atopic dermatitis. Understanding molecular mechanisms responsible for pathological reactivity of immune cells on these substances may enable to individualize and consequently improve treatment of atopic patients. Furthermore, better understanding of nickel action can also prevent from postoperative complications in patients sensitive to nickel with atopic dermatitis.
