“…31 In AD patients with persistently and refractory to therapies dermatitis, ACD should be taken into consideration and patch test performed. 30,32 A recent study suggested a consistent prevalence of contact sensitizations among children, with higher sensitivity rate among children with AD than without AD. 40 In this study, the most frequent contact allergens reported were nickel sulfate, cobalt chloride, methylisothiazolinone, fragrance mix-2, potassium dichromate, fragrance mix-1, and methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone.…”

“…45 An immunodeficiency syndrome must be hypothesized when chronic eczematous dermatitis is associated with secondary infections 45 or other specific signs. 30 Thus, the correct workup in suspecting such diseases includes growth curve assessment, targeted laboratory and imaging tests, and genetic testing. 39,45 It is important to emphasize that the mere finding of elevated IgE levels does not entitle the patient to be immediately classified as HIES.…”

“…30,45,46 In fact, HIES patients often have even lower levels of IgE than AD patients. 30 Therefore, the laboratory data necessarily require an overall clinical correlation: allergies, severe and recurrent infections, eosinophilia, and obviously skin signs must be investigated. 45,46 5 | THERAPEUTIC APPROACH AD strongly impacts the quality of life of young patients as well as their families .…”

“…Although the diagnosis of typical AD of the infant affecting the face or the child with flexural involvement may not be difficult, several skin conditions can mimic AD. Then, laboratoristicand genetic workup is necessary in patients with chronic and unresponsive to treatment of eczematous dermatitis, especially if there are signs and symptoms suggestive of systemic disorders or syndromes 30 . In Figure 1 we propose a diagnostic algorithm for the diagnosis and differential diagnoses for children with AD.…”

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory, itching skin with a significant psychosocial impact on patients and relatives. In adults and adolescents besides flexural eczema, head and neck eczema, and hand eczema, which are the most frequent clinical phenotypes (84.9% and 84.2%, respectively), there are also other possible presentation such as, portrait-like dermatitis (20.1%), diffuse eczema (6.5%), eczema nummulare-like (5.8%), prurigo nodularis-like (2.1%) and erythrodermia (0.7%). Diagnosis can be easy due to the typically distributed eczematous lesions, albeit with agerelated differences, However, it is also extremely heterogeneous in severity, course, and sometimes particular clinical features. Currently, there are no better diagnostic criteria than an experienced dermatologist for the diagnosis of AD. Misdiagnosis and delayed treatment will have an impact not only on the child's physical health, but also and especially on the child's psychological health. The aim of our review was to group the main differential diagnoses in pediatric age where the diagnosis can often hide many pitfalls.

Dadiah is a fermented food made from buffalo milk containing lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The potential of LAB as an antimicrobial organism is expected to inhibit or kill pathogens, especially those causing inflammations in the skin. Dadiah used in this study was obtained from the Lintau area of Tanah Datar District, West Sumatra, Indonesia. LAB isolation and identification involved the use of MRS Broth (MERCR) and MRS Agar (MERCK) media and the pathogenic bacteria used include Staphylococcus aureus, Propionibacterium acnes, Acinetobacter Baumannii, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The results of this study obtained a total LAB of 7x10 11 CFU / g and showed the highest antimicrobial activity in the Staphylococcus aureus with a14.53 mm clear zone and 13.18 mm bacteria in the Pseudomonas aeruginosa test bacteria.
