Download or read book Substantially Increased Risk of Dermatitis Herpetiformis in Children and Adolescents with Atopic Dermatitis written by Saana Kauppi and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an eczematous inflammatory skin disease being the most common skin disease in children. AD is associated with an increased risk for several atopic, somatic and psychiatric comorbidities. Recent epidemiological data suggests that AD patients are at risk for autoimmune diseases, but the risk of celiac disease (CD) in children and adolescents with AD has shown conflicting results. Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a rare autoimmune bullous skin disease with worldwide highest prevalence in Finland. DH is considered a cutaneous form of CD, in which ingestion of gluten leads to the production of autoantibodies against the epidermal enzyme transglutaminase-3. The purpose of this study was to find out the risk of DH and CD in children and adolescents with AD. We conducted a retrospective nationwide study of patients diagnosed for AD patients under the age of 18 years (n = 96 066) in Finland. We compared the risk of DH and CD on patients diagnosed for AD under the age of 18 years with randomly selected 250 000 individuals from general population. We found out that children and adolescents with AD have a high risk of DH (OR 8.04; 95% CI 5.10 u2013 12.7) and a heightened risk of CD (OR 2.07; 95% CI 1.89 u2013 2.26) compared to the control population. The risks were equal in both gender and no differences were seen in the age of diagnosis compared to controls. Our study confirms the association between AD and celiac disease in children and adolescents. We conclude that clinicians should be aware of the striking risk of DH in young AD patients.

This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atopic eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a chronic inflammatory itchy skin condition that develops in early childhood in the majority of cases. It is typically an episodic disease of exacerbation (flares, which may occur as frequently as two or three per month) and remissions, except for severe cases where it may be continuous. Certain patterns of atopic eczema are recognised. In infants, atopic eczema usually involves the face and extensor surfaces of the limbs and, while it may involve the trunk, the napkin area is usually spared. A few infants may exhibit a discoid pattern (circular patches). In older children flexural involvement predominates, as in adults. Diagnostic criteria are discussed in Chapter 3. As with other atopic conditions, such as asthma and allergic rhinitis (hay fever), atopic eczema often has a genetic component. In atopic eczema, inherited factors affect the development of the skin barrier, which can lead to exacerbation of the disease by a large number of trigger factors, including irritants and allergens. Many cases of atopic eczema clear or improve during childhood while others persist into adulthood, and some children who have atopic eczema will go on to develop asthma and/or allergic rhinitis; this sequence of events is sometimes referred to as the atopic march. The epidemiology of atopic eczema is considered in Chapter 5, and the impact of the condition on children and their families/caregivers is considered in Sections 4.2 and 4.3.
