Adult-onset atopic dermatitis

“…13,15 Indeed, Oranje and de Waard-van der Spek 13 suggested adding nummular pattern to the clinical signs in young children. Papular, lichenoid, follicular, and seborrheic dermatitiselike patterns are other welldescribed forms of AD especially in children 5,6,13,15,16 whereas prurigo-like AD is the most frequently reported morphologic variant in adults. 5,16 None of the patients with nontypical morphology and distribution of AD had current relevant contact sensitivities in this series.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] Apart from the most typical flexural localization and eczematous pattern in adults, patients may also have a nonflexural distribution 2 and other morphologic variants such as nummular or prurigo-like pattern. 5,6 The aim of this retrospective study was to find the frequency of nontypical morphology and localization of dermatitis in patients with adult-onset AD diagnosed according to the criteria of Hanifin and Rajka. 7 Furthermore, the accuracy of United Kingdom (UK) Working Party's criteria 8 in detecting those patients was evaluated.…”
