Abstract

Our results confirm the good prognosis for the dermatitis and the increased risk of developing asthma and allergic rhinitis. Development of other allergic symptoms or sensitization was associated with the following factors: a family history of eczema, age at onset of eczema and its severity, early adverse reactions to foods, and proneness to infections.
