Cutaneous Vascular Response To Pilocarpine In Atopic Dermatitis

Abstract

Thirty patients of atopic dermatitis were tested with intradermal pilocarpine and examined for cutaneous vascular response at the site. Both the involved and normal- appearing skin sites were injected. Patients with non-atopic dermatitis were used as controls. Eighty percent of the patients showed either reduced erythema or nil erythema around the test site.
