Erythrodermic atopic dermatitis in infancy associated with fair hair and complexion - a marker for hypoalbuminaemia - analysis of 20 patients
Abstract
Atopic dermatitis is the commonest acquired inflammatory skin disease in paediatric practice. The clinical manifestations of atopic dermatitis vary from a single patch of eczema to erythroderma. Early atopic dermatitis in infancy can lead to malnutrition.
We describe 20 infants with erythrodermic atopic dermatitis and their nutritional status.
