加强皮炎湿疹类疾病诊断术语的规范化

Enhancing standardization of diagnostic terminology for dermatitis and eczematous disorders

皮炎湿疹类疾病在临床上非常常见,由于对疾病的认识不同,国内外有关"皮炎"和"湿疹"的诊断名称存在一定混乱和争议。随着对此类疾病研究的深入,对一些原因或病因不清的疾病的认识逐渐提高,结合国内外现状,我们认为"皮炎"和"湿疹"已不应作为独立的临床疾病诊断术语。规范相关疾病的诊断思路和用词,能更好地进行疾病分类管理、流行病学研究和开展针对性治疗和预防奠定基础。

Dermatitis and eczematous disorders are very common in dermatological clinic.Due to variations in understanding of these diseases,there are some confusions and controversies about the diagnostic terms of"dermatitis"and"eczema"in China and other countries.With the progress in research on dermatitis and eczematous disorders,the understanding of some diseases with unclear causes or etiologies has gradually been improved,and it has been recognized that neither"dermatitis"nor"eczema"should be regarded as an independent clinical diagnostic term.Standardizing the diagnostic process and terminology for related diseases can lay a foundation for better classification,management,epidemiological research,and targeted treatment and prevention of these diseases.
