Does the severity of atopic dermatitis change with allergic sensitization? Is it real or a myth?

CONCLUSION: While guidelines recommend investigating food allergies in moderate to severe AD, this study found no significant difference in the relationship between AD severity and the presence of FA. However, inhalant allergen sensitivity was linked to increased AD severity. Therefore, a comprehensive patient history should include an evaluation of food allergies in children with AD, regardless of disease severity. Elimination and provocation tests related to suspected food items should be performed, and allergenic foods should be removed from the diet if they are found to contribute to the allergy.PMID:37695232 | DOI:10.15586/aei.v51i5.921
