Purpose:Atopic dermatitis is characterizedbydecreased expressionof filaggrin and loricrin. Patientswith atopic dermatitis often suffer from skin infections, which are also frequently seen in patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). In this study, we aimed to investigate the skin barrier in CTCL. Experimental Design:We assessed skinmoisture and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) in patients...

Objective: Skin lesions of atopic dermatitis are highly colonized with gram-positive bacteria, which may enter the blood stream through the broken skin barrier. This paper described the association between atopic dermatitis and septic arthritis in an attempt to emphasize the importance of a high index of clinical suspicion for the correct diagnosis of bacterial arthritis in patients with atopic...

Sir, Many patients with atopic dermatitis have widespread dry skin, which has a disturbed water barrier function (1). Stratum corneum lipids play an important role here. Recently, various authors have reported that dry skin in people with atopic dermatitis shows a marked reduction in ceramides (2, 3). We measured the ceramides in dry and normal skin of patients with atopic dermatitis and compar...
