In the majority of the cases studied (72%), there is sensitization to one or more foods. This figure is highly demonstrative regarding the importance of food in atopic dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis appears more frequently in the first 10 years of life, not differing remarkably, though, with regard to sex. The most sensitizing foods are: milk, egg and fish. The coincidence of atopic dermatitis with other allergic diseases such as intestinal parasitosis, is shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
