Elevated serum total IgE associated with eczema exacerbation in kids hospitalized for atopic dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis (AD) can be a debilitating skin condition, often leading to hospitalization due to severe AD exacerbations or infectious complications.
A new study published in Pediatric Dermatology suggests Elevated serum total IgE is associated with eczema exacerbation in children hospitalized for atopic dermatitis.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a distressing skin disorder that frequently necessitates hospitalization owing to acute exacerbations or infectious consequences. Because both AD exacerbations and viral complications can present similarly, distinguishing between the two disorders can be challenging. Sanmeet Atwal and colleagues wanted to see if there was a difference in serum IgE levels in children with Alzheimer's disease who were hospitalized for an aggravation of the disease or for AD-related infection complications.
During a 17-year period, a retrospective record study was undertaken on hospitalized children with AD exacerbations and AD-associated infectious complications. Data collection included main diagnosis, length of stay, laboratory, systemic antibiotics, and bacterial culture findings. Age was used to modify serum total immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels. The t-test was used to compare age, total IgE levels, duration of stay, and age-adjusted IgE levels. For age-adjusted IgE levels, logistic regression was utilized.
