Zika virus infection as a trigger of atopic dermatitis

The article by Cosme-Blanco et  al on Zika virus infection as a trigger of atopic dermatitis is of much interest.1 In fact, virus-induced atopic dermatitis in general is a very relevant clinical issue. Some viral infections (such as hepatitis B and measles virus) have been associated with onset of atopic dermatitis.2,3 Typically , arbovirus blood infections involve leukocytes and, only rarely, skin cells. The interrelationship between arbovirus infection and atopic dermatitis has not been reported.
