title: Pediatric dermatology: advances in therapy.
abstract: Several recent therapeutic advances in pediatric dermatology have been made. Of particular importance are new developments in the use of antimicrobials, antivirals, antifungals, retinoids, calcipotriene, and intravenous gamma globulin. We review safety and efficacy data of these drugs in their use in children with cutaneous disease.
