Abstract
Limited data are available on the frequency of IgE mediated food sensitization in adults with atopic dermatitis (AD). Food sensitization was found in 74.4% of the AD patients. 20.4 % of the patients was sensitized without clinical symptoms. Sensitization to PR-10 related food allergens occurred most frequently (63.5%) independend of AD severity. Of all plant food allergens only sensitization to nAra h 1 was significantly more frequent in patients with severe AD. In the total group 75? patients with AD (35.5%) showed sensitization to a animal food allergen. The percentage was significantly higher in patients with severe AD CE (51.4%) compared to patients with mild/moderate AD (27.7%). In particular, sensitization to cow's milk occurred more frequent in severe AD patients, compared to patients with mild/moderate AD.
