Association between childhood atopic dermatitis, cutaneous, extracutaneous and systemic infections

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with higher risk of skin infections. US population-based studies found that childhood AD is associated with increased risk of caregiver-reported extra-cutaneous infections. We sought to confirm whether AD in childhood is associated with increased rates of healthcare diagnosed cutaneous and extra-cutaneous infections.
