چکیده
Since Leyden et al showed in 1974 that 90% of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) have their skin colonized with Staphylococcus aureus (SA), [1] the increased incidence of a carrier state of SA in patients with AD has been a subject of interest. Several studies in children and adults with AD have demonstrated an increased carrier state of SA in both involved and uninvolved skin. AD is reported to be exacerbated when the density of SA is greater than 10 CFU/cm (CFU, colony forming unit).
