Frequency of Palpebral Involvement in Adult With Atopic Dermatitis

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Atopic dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin disease, resulting from genetical, immunological and environmental factors. Head and neck are among the most frequent involved areas, almost 50% in adult patients according to most publications. Palpebral involvement is also common and a source of major quality of life impairment for patients. However, the real frequency of this palpebral involvement is unknown, only estimated about 20% in few studies. The treatment of this location remains difficult, regarding to the thickness of palpebral skin and proximity of the eye. To our knowledge, no prospective studies about allergological skin tests (such as patch-tests) in atopic patients with palpebral involvement had been conducted. Finally, atopic dermatitis is frequently associated with ophthalmological diseases such as conjunctivitis, keratoconus or cataract, which belong to the minor criteria of Hanifin and Rakja classification. A better knowledge of the atopic dermatitis palpebral involvement and the associated factors seems to be needed to improve the treatment and the quality of life of patients
