The aim of this study was to compare long-term results of 4 weeks Dead Sea climatotherapy at the
\nDeutsches Medizinisches Zentrum, Israel to those obtained by classical topical treatment for moderate-tosevere
\natopic dermatitis. Seventy-two children from the Czech Republic were divided into three groups of
\n24 and treated during three periods (March 2014, October 2014 and March 2015) with gradually increasing
\nsun exposure during 28 consecutive days. Forty-four children were treated with steroid creams at the
\nDepartment of Dermatovenereology, Third Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and University Hospital
\nof Kralovske Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic. The primary outcome was the change in the SCORing
\nAtopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) index, recorded after 1month of treatment (immediately after DSC) and 3, 6,
\n9, 12, and 18months later in Prague. The mean SCORAD improvement was 87.5 \u00b1 13.4% after 4weeks at
\nthe Dead Sea and 86.1 \u00b1 11.3% after 1month of treatment with steroid creams in the Czech Republic. All
\n44 patients treated in Prague participated in this 18-month follow-up study, whereas only 47 patients
\n(65.3%) after DSC treatment. Good clinical results were maintained in both groups and mean SCORAD
\nvalues were stable and low, around 5.<\/p>\n
