Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder, and described as the first clinical manifestation of the atopic march. AD typically presents in infancy, predating the development of allergic asthma (AA) and allergic rhinitis. Studies in adults with AD showed that 58–72% of patients had airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) consistent with asthma, however there was no relationship between severity of AD and degree of airway hyperresponsiveness.
