NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Although an allergic skin condition called atopic dermatitis is common in infancy, it often disappears around the age of three years, new research shows. Moreover, the condition appears to have no direct connection with asthma.
Dr. Sabina Illi and colleagues, from University Children's Hospital in Munich, Germany, examined the natural course of atopic dermatitis to identify factors that influence its outcome. They also studied the association between atopic dermatitis and childhood asthma. |
