Abstract
- BACKGROUND
Dermatological diseases can occur with atopic dermatitis.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to analyze diseases associated with atopic dermatitis in Koreans.
METHODS
From November, 2007, to May, 2008, 948 patients with atopic dermatitis who visited the department of dermatology at 19 hospitals were evaluated for associated diseases.
RESULTS
Of 948 patients, 53.8% (510) had symptoms associated with other dermatological diseases. In order of frequency, diseases associated with atopic dermatitis included acne, hand/foot eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, urticaria, warts, and recurrent herpes simplex. The number of associated diseases did not change significantly with the severity of atopic dermatitis. However, the incidence of hand/foot eczema and eczema herpeticum correlated significantly with the severity of atopic dermatitis.
CONCLUSION
There is a distinct pattern of diseases associated with atopic dermatitis in Koreans.
