Atopic dermatitis and allergy in children: a dynamic relationship

Food and Chemical Toxicology : an International Journal Published for the British Industrial Biological Research Association
Laurie A Lee

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common chronic skin disease in children. The defective barrier function of the skin in patients with AD allows foreign proteins to enter the body and interact with components of the innate and adaptive immune systems. The immune response characteristic of AD is complex with the majority of patients making IgE in response to ingested and/or inhaled antigens. Although IgE-mediated mechanisms may represent initial immune responses, they are only one element of a biphasic inflammatory response. Identifying the role of specific allergens in a patient's skin disease is critical yet difficult because diagnostic tests are often not able to distinguish asymptomatic sensitization from true clinical allergy.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis here.

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here

Basophils

Basophils are myeloid cells with a high affinity IgE receptor and is involved in inflammatory responses during allergy. Discover the latest research on Basophils here.

Allergies & Environmental Factors

Environmental factors are strongly associated with the prevalence of allergies and are an increasing health concern worldwide. Discover the latest research on Allergies and Environmental Factors here.
