Comorbidities in pediatric atopic dermatitis
Abstract
Atopic dermatitis is a common chronic condition that often begins in early childhood. In addition to associations with other atopic conditions such as asthma, food allergy and hayfever, recent research has uncovered a number of other important potential comorbidities. In this review article, we summarize the reported comorbidities of pediatric atopic dermatitis including mental health disorders, infections, obesity, hypertension, injuries and anemia.
