About National Jewish Health

National Jewish Health, located in Denver, Colorado, is known worldwide for treatment of patients with respiratory, immune and allergic disorders.

National Jewish Health is a national referral center for management of atopic dermatitis, asthma and food allergy.  Over the years, clinically based studies conducted at National Jewish Health have led to new and improved treatments for a number of respiratory, allergic and immune diseases.

Especially Needed

Individuals with active AD or who have outgrown AD and also have a history of widespread herpes virus skin infection (also called eczema herpeticum), molluscum contagiosum (pearly wart-like skin lesions), or eczema vaccinatum (adverse reaction to smallpox vaccination).

Even though we are enrolling people regardless of race and ethnicity, we have a special need to enroll African Americans in these studies because African Americans may be at a greater risk.  This risk may be related to a different genetic background.
