Over the past several decades, the incidence of atopic diseases such as asthma, atopic dermatitis, and food allergies has increased dramatically ...

La conjonctivite atopique s'observe souvent chez l'adulte. Les lésions des tarses palpébraux diffèrent de celles de la conjonctivite printanière infantile. Ici, les papilles sont fines et très rapprochées, ce qui donne aux conjonctives palpébrales supérieures un aspect hyperhémique et feutré et masque l'anatomie habituelle de l'arcade vasculaire. Les symptômes consistent en prurit et écoulement chronique auxquels peut s'associer une kératite chronique.

  • The Skin
DEF

Atopic dermatitis in infants.

OBS

Atopic dermatitis. This chronic, eczematous condition of the skin is often associated with a personal or family history of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic eczema. Pruritus is prominent, and the consequent scratching and rubbing lead to lichenification, most typically in the antecubital and popliteal flexural areas. The eczema usually manifests itself after the first few months of life, appearing on the face and extensor areas of the extremities as acute and subacute, red, vesicular and oozing dermatitis.

CONT

... for the injected allergens there is no clear evidence that the production of IgE reflects an inherited predisposition. ... The fact that atopy does not increase the incidence of IgE antibody to venom or penicillin adds further evidence that the specific inherited factor(s) in atopy is related to the conditions of inhalant allergy and is not a generalized control enhancing IgE production.
