Mechanisms of Eczema in Children
1. ALLERGY 2. SKIN BARRIER DYSFUNCTIONS 3. CHRONIC INFECTION 4. AUTO-IMMUNITY (?)
= complex interplay according to pt. and age

dermatology department – atopic dermatitis is more common among Asian referrals in Leicestershire. Sladden et al. Clin Exp Dermatol 1991, 16, 348.
2. The effect of lifestyle on wheeze, atopy, and bronchial hyperreactivity in Asian and white children. Carey et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 1996, 154, 537.

SKIN BARRIER DYSFUNCTIONS

Skin barrier dysfunction in AD
1. dry skin – increased transepidermal water loss
2. reduced content of ceramides
3. changes in stratum corneum pH level
4. overexpression of chymotryptic enzyme“ Stratum corneum chymotryptic enzyme (SCCE) “
5. altered keratinocyte cytokine profile

2. Filaggrin

Filaggrin gene
- FLG is located within “the epidermal differentiation complex (EDC) on chromosome 1q21.
- Function: to aggregate keratin filaments formation of stratum corneum maintaining the barrier function of the skin.
- Associated with ichtyosis, AD, and psoriasis

- To investigate the role of 5 common FLG null mutations in childhood AD
- n = 811 children in UK (non-selected group)
- Prevalence of AD = 24%
- CONCLUSION: FLG mutations are significantly associated with mild-to-moderate atopic eczema in childhood, with a recessive pattern of inheritance.

HYPOTHETIC MODEL OF AD
PHASE 1: Non-allergic inflammation- ichtyosis – pruritus- auto-immunity (?)- other (viruses?)
PHASE 2: Allergic inflammation- food ( through urticaria)- inhalants (type IV immune reaction)
PHASE 3: Infectious inflammation- Staph colonization- Viral colonization

Conclusion…
1. Complex disease different types
2. Not only allergy… there is more
3. More studies on “start” of AD
4. Treatment: according to age
