Abstract
Diagnosis and treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) in chimpanzees are challenging. Validated allergy tests specific for chimpanzees are not available. A multifactorial management of atopic dermatitis is important. Successful management of AD has, to the best knowledge of the authors, not been described in chimpanzees.
