Introduction: Atopic dermatitis is a relatively common age-related disease. Its pathophysiology is majorly
insubstantial. Also, it appears as a result of interplay of maternal and inheritance, intrauterine and
environmental factors. Also, immune dysregulation has an important role.
Objectives: To study the presenting features of atopic dermatitis.
Materials and Methods: 100 patients of atopic dermatitis which were diagnosed on the basis of modified
UK working party criteria, after which clinical presentations were noted in a preset proforma.
Results: 78% were in the age group of 2-12 years, of which 65% were males and 35% were females.
Conclusion: Atopic dermatitis is a distinct, overt, age and IgE-related entity frequently showing different
demographic and clinical presentations.
