Abstract

The purpose of the work is to estimate the frequency of atopic dermatitis in general practitioner's practice. The study has been conducted on the basis of the retrospective analysis of medical documentation of individual history of disease among children born in 2005-2008 treated in an outpatient clinic of the Polish Mother's Memorial Hospital, Lodz, Poland. Infants and small children suffering from atopic dermatitis are abig group (31.8%) in own observations. Many of them have dissemination skin lesions. Atopic dermatitis becomes a more frequent problem in infants and small children in general practitioner's practice. We observe more and more children with disseminated allergic skin lesions.
