The complete dermatological and allergological examinations were performed and the severity of AD was evaluated with the SCORing Atopic Dermatitis index. The statistical evaluation of the relationship between the occurrence of IgE-mediated food allergy, food sensitization, sensitization to inhalant allergens, and the severity of AD was performed. Two hundred and eighty-three patients were examined, 89 men and 194 women, average age 26.2 (s.d. 9.5).
