Atopic Dermatitis and Allergic Urticaria: Cutaneous Manifestations of Immunodeficiency

Martin Robert Gaudinski et al. Immunol Allergy Clin North Am. 2017 Feb.

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis and allergic urticaria are common conditions of the skin that can also be the presenting symptoms of uncommon diseases. Defects leading to immunodeficiency may be associated with atopic dermatitis or allergic urticaria. Unusually severe or otherwise atypical presentations of atopic dermatitis or allergic urticaria may lead to clinical suspicion of an underlying immunodeficiency.

Keywords: Atopic dermatitis; Immunodeficiency; Urticaria.
