The results of a literature study about the comparison of Oriental-Occidental medicine on the Atopic dennatitis were as follows. 1. In Oriental medicine, Atopic dermatitis belongs to the category of the Naesun(³»¼±), Taeryumchang(÷ÃÖ°óê), Eczema(ã¥òÖ), Chimumchang(öÙëâóê). In Occidental medicine, the other names of Atopic dermatitis are allergic eczema, IgE dermatitis, flexual eczema etc. 2. In Oriental medicine, the definition of atopic dermatitis includes chang(óê), sun(¼±), and pung(ù¦). Occidental medicine, is one of the intrinsic eczema classifications. In fact eczema term circumscribes dermatitis in atopic patients. 3. In Oriental medicine, the etiology and pathogenesis of Atopic dermatitis arose from the state of cogenital defect(ù¢Ý·Üôðë), internal accumulation of damp and heat(ã¥æðÒ®è³) at first, and then invaded pathogenic wind, damp, heat factors again, and combined endo-exoteric pathogenic factors. So it appears in skin. In Occidental medicine, the etiology and pathogenesis of Atopic dermatitis approaches in genetic, allergic and immunologic, pharmacophysioloic aspects. It is only a hypothesis but there is no known facts about radical aetiology. 4. In Oriental medicine, differentiation of syndromes classifies manifestation aspects, etiology and pathogenesis, and invasion period. In Occidental medicine, it divides into an invasion period, and clinical aspect etc. 5. In Oriental medicine, Internal theraphys of Atopic dermatitis are decoction of ingredients(÷·ð¥), pills(ü¯), and tablet(ø¸). So, it prescribes as treatments on the ground of differentition of syndrome. In Occidental medicine, there is no radical therapy because Atopic dispositions don't change. But steroid, antihistamine as symptomatic tre atments are generally used in Occidental medicine. 6. In Oriental medicine, external therapies are wet dressings(ã¥Ý§), lotion(á©ð¥), powder(ߤð¥), adhesive plasters(ÍÇð¥), oil(êúð¥), smoking(æÓý¹Ûö), warm over fire therapy(æðûôèþÛö), acupunture and moxibustion therapy(öÝ϶èþÛö).
