Design: Training evaluators, application, assessment over 2 consecutive days. Setting An academic center. Patients Twenty adults children with atopic dermatitis (AD); cohort 1 (10 patients ≥8 years) <8 years). Interventions None. Main outcome measure The EASI was used 15 dermatologist evaluators to assess in on Inter‐ intraobserver were...
BackgroundAtopic dermatitis (atopic eczema) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that has reached epidemic proportions in children worldwide and increasing prevalence. Because of the significant socioeconomic effect atopic its on quality life families, there have been decades research focused prevention, with limited success. Recent advances cutaneous biology suggest barrier defects might be key initiators possibly allergic sensitization.ObjectiveOur objective was to test whether...
In the current study, we investigated whether Staphylococcus aureus grown from affected skin of atopic dermatitis (AD) patients secreted identifiable toxins that could act as allergens to induce IgE-mediated basophil histamine release. The S. AD were identified by ELISA using antibodies specific for staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) exfoliative toxin (ET), or toxic shock syndrome (TSST-1). isolates 24 42 with SEA, SEB, and TSST accounting 92% isolates. 32 56 sera (57%) tested contained...
Interleukin-31 may play a role in the pathobiologic mechanism of atopic dermatitis and pruritus. We wanted to assess efficacy safety nemolizumab (CIM331), humanized antibody against interleukin-31 receptor A, treatment dermatitis.In this phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 12-week trial, we assigned adults with moderate-to-severe that was inadequately controlled by topical treatments receive subcutaneous (at dose 0.1 mg, 0.5 or 2.0 mg per kilogram body weight) placebo...
Eczema and atopic dermatitis (AD) are recognized as major health problems worldwide. Prevalence estimates high one-third of the population, depending on country studied, age range subjects, diagnostic criteria used. National prevalence for US population lacking.To examine public problem posed by eczema, AD, eczematous conditions in United States analyzing disease symptom prevalence, estimating number undiagnosed cases, assessing comorbidities.A self-administered questionnaire was sent to a...
