The article describes the evaluation of 12 articles and their comparison with the “Protocol diagnosis and treatment of children with atopic dermatitis”. Today ontology is one of the form of structuring knowledge. Ontology of knowledge of atopic dermatitis allows structure information of diagnosis and treatment of this disease in children and can recommend a number of amendments to the existing “Protocol of diagnosis and treatment of children with atopic dermatitis”. When we built the graphological schemes we revealed differences concerning additional criteria of diagnostic of atopic dermatitis in children. So, in protocol important signs are absent, as it seems to us. These include, first of all: keratoconus, front subcapsular cataracts, peeling on the face and extremities (Pityriasis alba), erythroderma, cracks behind the ears. These features are extremely important in the diagnosis of atopic dermatitis in children. Therefore, we propose to supplement existing protocol those additional criteria and use it in practice.
