Evaluation of periostin level for predicting severity and chronicity of childhood atopic dermatitis.

Conclusions: This study showed that plasma periostin levels were increased in children with atopic dermatitis. Periostin may have a partial role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis, but it is not associated with severity or chronicity in children with atopic dermatitis. PMID: 31839780 [PubMed]
