Long-term follow-up of atopic dermatitis: Retrospective analysis of related risk factors and association with concomitant allergic diseases

Childhood eczema and asthma incidence and persistence: A cohort study from childhood to middle age

“…Flexural involvement is considered a marker of atopy, 32 in turn a predictor of childhood asthma. 33 However, our study found no difference in the odds of childhood asthma between the flexural eczema only , infantile eczema only, and conjoint eczema groups, suggesting that nonatopic skin factors such as the extent of skin involvement or age at eczema onset might also contribute to asthma risk.…”

Food Allergy in Children with Asthma: Prevalence and Correlation with Clinical Severity of Respiratory Disease

“…These discordant data could be explained by considering that the children in the present study were older and in more than 90% of cases suffered from pollinosis. In fact, while in the early age the sensitization to food allergens, in particular to egg and milk, can be considered a risk factor for development of respiratory allergic diseases, such as asthma or allergic rhinoconjunctivitis [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32], in the following years of life the presence of pollinosis can determine the development of a 'pollenrelated food allergy', presenting oral allergy syndrome as a clinical manifestation [19][20][21][33][34][35][36][37][38].…”

Dermatitis atópica en niños: estudio comparativo en dos grupos etarios

“…Otro ítem metodológico destacable, capaz de arrojar cifras de prevalencia disímiles, sería la gran variabilidad en el diseño de los estudios publicados, ya que se dispone de trabajos tanto prospectivos como retrospectivos que utilizan cuestionarios 6,9,10 o el examen clínico 7,[11][12][13] para arribar al diagnóstico de esta dermatosis. Williams 14 , señala también, que la prevalencia de DA puede variar considerablemente de un país a otro, e incluso dentro de un mismo país, concepto que explicaría los diferentes resultados entre nuestro trabajo y los datos argentinos publicados en el estudio internacional 6 .…”

“…En la actualidad se dispone de múltiples estudios que confi rman la asociación entre DA y AF de atopía 8,[10][11][12] . Uehara y cols, reportaron que el 59% y el 81% de los niños con DA poseen uno o los dos progenitores afectados por la misma enfermedad, respectivamente 22 .…”
