title: Poor compliance with topical corticosteroids for atopic dermatitis despite severe disease.
abstract: Electronic monitoring of adherence provides opportunities for new insights into the relationship between adherence and treatment outcomes. We report a patient who was non-adherent to treatment despite a high degree of atopic dermatitis severity. Such patients may be better managed by measures that increase adherence rather than use of more potent, potentially toxic medications.
