dc.description.abstractBackground: Atopic dermatitis is an itchy, inflammatory, chronic, or chronically relapsing skin disease. The disease occurs in people who have an atopic tendency or may appear as a clinical sign of primary immunodeficiency. Objectives: To determine the relation between severity of atopic dermatitis and hypogammaglobulinemia. Methods: One hundred sixty pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis (98 boys and 62 girls, 1-60 months old, median age 14.5 months) and 95 healthy children (57 boys and 38 girls, median age 16 months; control group) were included in the study. In patients with atopic dermatitis, the severity of disease was determined by the SCORing Atopic Dermatitis index. Serum immunoglobulin levels of all patients and children in the control group were measured by nephelometry on admission. Results: The incidence of hypogammaglobulinemia was higher in patients with atopic dermatitis than in the control group (P = .009). The main reason for this difference was the low level of IgG in the atopic dermatitis group (P = .024). Analysis of the relation between hypogammaglobulinemia and the severity of atopic dermatitis showed no statistically significant difference between the group with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis and the group with severe atopic dermatitis with respect to hypogammaglobulinemia (P = .859), IgG (P = .068), IgA (P = .410), and IgM (P = .776) values. Conclusion: Hypogammaglobulinemia was more frequent in patients with atopic dermatitis compared with the control group, mostly owing to the low IgG level. Hypogammaglobulinemia is not associated with the severity of atopic dermatitis. (C) 2014 American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.en_US
