Abstract | BACKGROUND: DESIGN: Open study. SETTING: University referral center. PATIENTS: INTERVENTION: Combined UV-A and UV-B treatment for 2 months. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: RESULTS: CONCLUSION: Expression of HLA-DR and interleukin-2 receptor is a sensitive marker of disease activity in atopic dermatitis. Apart from giving information on disease activity in atopic dermatitis, the availability of skin-seeking T cells in the blood offers the opportunity to obtain further information on T cells that may have effector function in the skin.
