The etiology of eczema is still one of the darkest and most controversial, still awaiting its resolution in dermatology. The peculiarity of the course and clinical varieties of eczema, which in some cases do not fit into the framework of a certain symptom complex, its occurrence in persons suffering from constitutional diseases, undoubtedly in some cases causing dependence on disorders in the field of autonomic innervation, finally, studied experimentally by Jadassohn, Bloch , Wеidеnfeld'om the reactivity of the skin of eczematics, its special state of readiness for eczema (Eczembereit-schaft), which is an expression of sensitization — all this makes the view of eczema quite reasonable as a process that is etiologically closely associated with changes in the general state of the body. From this point of view, those studies that are aimed at finding out the intimate biological relationship of the skin with various systems of internal organs and to establish the ways in which the influence of metabolic disorders should be transmitted to the skin are of particular importance.
