A study on evaluation of levels of absolute eosinophil count in blood and serum IgE in patients with Atopic dermatitis

Abstract

Background: Atopic dermatitis is a multifactorial chronic, commonly found dermatitis. Although many studies have shown the epidemiological distribution of atopic dermatitis, very few studies have shown a correlation between serum AEC levels, serum IgE levels and disease severity.Materials and Methods: A total of 55 cases of atopic dermatitis and their matched disease free controls (n=55) were included in the study. This study was conducted in the Department of Dermatology, Sanbhram Institute of Medical Sciences, Kolar over a period of 1 year, i.e. from June 2019- May 2020Results: Serum IgE levels and AEC levels are significantly higher in patients who have severe atopic dermatitis when compared to healthy controls. Conclusion: The present study concludes that “SCORAD “index can be used as a prognostic marker of atopic dermatitis.
