Assessment of Common Food Allergens in Infants With Atopic Dermatitis in Kashan From 2005 to 2021

Introduction

Infants with atopic dermatitis (AD) are more likely to experience food allergies, and AD children experience asymptomatic food sensitivity. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate food allergies in infants with AD with different tests during 17 years.

Method

This retrospective case-series study included 98 infants with AD who underwent clinic prick skin tests from 2005 to 2021. After recording demographic features, all food allergens from forearm skin scratch tests for specific allergens were recorded from medical files. The data were then collected, entered into SPSS v24, and analyzed.
