This paper reflects the consensus reached among Belgian professors of dermatology on the place of cyclosporin (CsA) in the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). Existing therapeutic modalities and ways to evaluate efficacy of treatment are reviewed briefly. Based on data from the literature and personal experience, guidelines for the use of CsA in AD are proposed. CsA can be prescribed in recalcitrant cases of AD on a short-term basis, both in adults and children. Long-term treatment, up to 1 year, should be considered only in exceptional cases that cannot be controlled by short-time therapy. Contraindications, drug interactions and necessary controls during treatment are also discussed.
