ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The incidence of food allergy associated with atopic dermatitis is approximately 40-60%. We evaluated serum specific IgE to cow's milk (CM), egg white (EW) and soybean in atopic dermatitis and then compared the sensitization rates of patients in 2002 to those in 2007.METHODS:
Two hundred fifty-eight patients with atopic dermatitis who visited Dong-A University Medical Center in 2002 (n=121) and 2007 (n=137) were enrolled in this study. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed to determine serum total eosinophil count (TEC), and total IgE and specific IgE to CM, EW, and soybean.RESULTS:
The TEC was significantly higher in 2002 than in 2007. The sensitization rates to CM, EW and soy bean were significantly different in 2002 and 2007.(P=0.001 and P=0.03 for each) The sensitization rates to CM were significantly different according to age in 2007.(P= 0.04) The sensitization rates to EW were significantly different according to age in 2002 and 2007.(P=0.02 and P=0.00 for each) The sensitization rates to CM were significantly different according to combined allergic diseases in 2002 and 2007.(P=0.04, P=0.01 for each) The sensitization rates to EW were significantly different according to combined allergic diseases in 2002 and 2007.(P=0.00, P=0.002 for each)CONCLUSION:
Among atopic dermatitis patients who visited a single university hospital in Busan, there were no significant differences in the overall sensitization rates in 2002 and 2007.
