EJ Freyschmidt, CB Mathias, DH MacArthur… - Journal of allergy and …, 2007 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin disorder occurring in
genetically predisposed individuals with a systemic TH2 bias. Atopic dermatitis patients
exposed to the smallpox vaccine, vaccinia virus (VV), occasionally develop eczema
