title: ["Atopic dermatitis"--terminology questions].
abstract: The authors give their comments on the paper by A. A. Kalamkarian and V. A. Samsonov on the taxonomy of diffuse neurodermatitis and atopic dermatitis. They consider that the term "atopic disease" is more validated; discussing the wording of a detailed diagnosis, they come to the conclusion that the term "diffuse" should be used only as a characteristic of the process dissemination in neurodermatitis.
