N2 - Abstract: Although immune dysfunction it known to play an integral rote In the development of atopic dermatitis, no clear delineation of the underlying pathogenic mechanism(s) responsible for this disorder has been proposed. Several factors are known to trigger flares of ttople dermatitis, in the extrinsic form of this disorder, food and airborne allergans may provoke Hares of eczema. Research Implicating food hypersensitivity in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis includes studies of food sliergen avoidance In newborn Infants at high risk for atopic disease, Investigations of children with blinded food challenges, and therapeutic trials of allergen‐elimination diets. Taken together, these studies demonstrate a significant pathogenic role for food hypesensltivity In about one‐third of children with atopic dermatitis.
