Relationship Between Concomitant Atopic Diseases With Atopic Dermatitis Severity And Persistence.

Introduction: The atopic march consists of dermatitis (AD), allergic rhinitis or sinusitis (AR), conjunctivitis (AC) and bronchial asthma (BA). influence concomitant diseases on AD is under-explored. We determined the relationship between personal family history with severity persistence. Methods: A cross sectional study involving patients was performed at dermatology clinics two tertiary hospitals. Inclusion criterion all diagnosed AD. Demographic data, atopy (BA, AR AC) were obtained by face-to-face interview. evaluated using Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA). considered persistent if continued beyond age 12 years. Results: Sixty aged 21.6±17.2 participated. There 25(41.7%) AR, 16(26.7%) BA 12(20%) AC. Forty seven (78.3%) had atopy, eczema, 24(40%) 19(31.7%) 2(3.3%) Patients [OR=3.8, 95%CI 1.04 to 14.4)], [OR=9.74, 1.13 83.67) [OR= 4.00, 1.20 13.27) more likely exhibit moderate-severe Personal AC significantly prevalent in Conclusions: most common disease associated Family eczema common. BA, predictors severe
