Eosinophil hypersegmentation is a possible marker to monitor the disease activity of atopic dermatitis

Urinary eosinophil-derived neurotoxin concentrations in patients with atopic dermatitis: a useful clinical marker for disease activity.

BACKGROUND It has been reported that measurements of eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) may be useful for identifying eosinophil activities in allergic diseases including atopic dermatitis. METHODS EDN concentrations in the urine were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the number of eosinophils in the peripheral blood was counted in 30 patients with atopic dermatitis. The sev...

A short review on immunology of Atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a pruritic, relapsing, chronic disease that arises most commonly during infancy, childhood, or adolescence. It is clear that genetic factors are important in AD, a family history of AD, allergic rhinitis, and/or asthma and other “Atopic” phenomena being common in patient with AD.
