“…43,44 In addition to the classical patterns of AD, there are several site-specific variants. 45 Eyelid eczema is common in adolescents, affecting up to 21% of these individuals, 43 and has been associated with hay fever and exposure to other aeroallergens, such as house dust mites. 46 The infra-auricular and retroauricular sites are particularly prone to fissuring, probably as a reaction to repeated minor trauma.…”

“…It has been well recognized that the striking features of childhood AD include xerotic and lichenified flexural eczema of the extremities whereas adult AD is characterized by a prominently red face and chronic lichenified eczema of the trunk. [26][27][28][29][30] It is worthwhile to note that one of the minor UKWP criteria, ''visible flexural dermatitis,'' showed the highest PPV of 81% although the sensitivity of this criterion was rather low (42.2%). Therefore, incorporation of prominent adult AD features into adult AD diagnostic criteria will likely increase the sensitivity of the test.…”

The aim of the present study was to analyze the characteristics of atopic dermatitis (AD) in the senile phase. Subjects were comprised of 16 patients investigated for clinical features, serum immunoglobulin (Ig)E levels and skin manifestations. Mean age was 76.9 +/- 6.2 years (range, 68-87), with a man : woman ratio of 3:1. Mean age at onset was 67.7 +/- 15.7 years. Eight patients (50%) had personal histories of chronic eczema until the young adult phase and three patients (18.8%) showed the classic course of child AD. Eczematous erythroderma in 10 patients (62.5%) and unclassified chronic eczema in five patients (31.3%) were the predominant clinical presentations. Mean total IgE level in sera of the 16 patients was 8810 +/- 13 511 IU/mL (range, 5-53 605). Fourteen patients showed positive results for antigen-specific IgE antibodies, and the mean total IgE level for these patients was 10 056 +/- 14 044 IU/mL. Specific IgE to the main antigen, Dermatophagoides farinae, was observed in 12 patients (85.7%), representing the principal antibody in eight patients (57.1%). Eczematous dermatitis manifested predominantly in the face and neck, trunk and extensor and flexure sites of extremities, and less commonly in the antecubital and popliteal areas. Other stigmata of AD were observed as follows: red face in 10 patients (62.5%); Hertoghe's sign in six (37.5%); goose-skin in four (25%); facial pallor in three (18.8%); and dirty neck in one (6.3%). These results indicate that senile-type AD represents a characteristic subgroup of AD that appears in the last stage of life in AD patients.
