Gujjula Sidhartha [2] | Praneeth Ulavala [14] | C. Prabhakar Raju [11]
Abstract: The phenomenon of "Atopic March" is explored comprehensively in this article, shedding light on the predictable and sequential development of atopic diseases in individuals with a genetic predisposition. Beginning with eczema and progressing through stages to asthma and hay fever, this phenomenon is influenced by a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. The article delves into the stages, risk factors, and the profound impact of Atopic March on both individuals and society. Atopic diseases, including eczema, asthma, and hay fever, can exert significant direct and indirect costs on healthcare systems while drastically affecting the quality of life for those affected. For instance, eczema sufferers experience disruptions in daily life, including missed work or school, sleep disturbances, and reduced overall well - being. Meanwhile, asthma patients face hospitalisations, impaired lung function, and work absences, further diminishing their quality of life. Recent research has advanced our understanding of Atopic March, but many underlying mechanisms remain elusive. This article emphasises the crucial role of early detection and intervention in preventing or mitigating atopic diseases. By comprehending the predictable nature of Atopic March, healthcare professionals can identify individuals at risk and offer timely interventions. Moreover, ongoing research into its mechanisms holds promise for the development of innovative treatments and interventions, potentially halting the progression of atopic conditions or even preventing them altogether. In conclusion, Atopic March presents a remarkable insight into the development of atopic diseases, with profound implications for management and future therapeutic approaches.
