Abstract: Atopic dermatitis (AD), a common chronic inflammatory skin disease, is recognized to be driven by overactive type 2 immune response. Recent studies revealed that the heterogeneity of AD including age of onset, race and intrinsic/extrinsic and different encotypes were indentified. Activation of Th22, Th17/IL-23 and Th1 cytokine pathway  varies in different encotypes and the targeted therapies are different accordingly. The update of AD encotypes and the targeted therapies is reviewed.

Key words: atopic dermatitis, encotype, targeted therapy
