Food hypersensitivity reactions and peripheral blood eosinophilia in patients suffering from atopic dermatitis
2017
Abstract
The aim of our study is to evaluate the count of eosinophils in peripheral blood in atopic dermatitis (AD) patients over 14 years of age and to compare it with the occurrence of food hypersensitivity (FH) reactions. According to our results, in AD patients the difference in count of eosinophils in patients with and without FH reactions is not statistically significant.
When evaluating the occurrence of FH reactions to single foods, the count of eosinophils is significantly higher only in patients suffering from reactions to carrot
