Patients with AD could experience a wide range of symptoms ranging from trivial problems to major handicaps that may affect their lives.

Data were collected from patients’ members of the French Eczema associations or patients seen in four department of Dermatology in France. Validated tools for evaluating the burden (ABS-A) and QoL (DLQI and SF12) were administrated. The severity of AD was also evaluated using a modified version of Patient Oriented (PO)-SCORAD. The severity of the AD disease was classified as mild or moderate (score<25) [AD-MM] or severe(score>25) [AD-S] according of this same score. RESULTS:
