Mechanisms of Food Hypersensitivity in Atopic Dermatitis

Objective

Studies of dietary prophylaxis in newborns at high risk for atopic disease, and provocation of skin symptoms and immunologic changes by blinded food challenges strongly suggest a significant pathogenic role for IgE-mediated FH in AD. The purpose of this research is to more precisely define the natural history and immunopathogenic mechanisms of food hypersensitivity (FH) in children with atopic dermatitis (AD).
