Patients with atopic dermatitis have an increased risk of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections.
We carried out a retrospective, cross-sectional study to investigate the association of disease severity, concomitant atopic diseases and filaggrin mutations with the risk of cutaneous HSV infections in 463 patients with atopic dermatitis.
MATERIALS & METHODS: The correlation between predisposing factors and HSV infections was analysed using chi-square and Mann Whitney U-tests, and the relationship was further studied with binomial logistic regression to ascertain odds ratios.
Allergic conjunctivitis (aOR: 1.770; CI: 1.008-3.109; p = 0.047) and patient age (aOR: 1.022; CI: 1.007-1.036; p = 0.004) showed statistically significant associations with recurrent HSV infections and eczema herpeticum. HSV infections were not linked to severity of atopic dermatitis (p = 0.435) or filaggrin mutation status (p = 0.886).
The results highlight the importance for attentiveness of HSV infections in atopic dermatitis patients with concomitant allergic conjunctivitis.
特应性皮炎患者发生单纯疱疹病毒(HSV)感染的风险增加。
我们开展了一项回顾性、横断面研究,旨在调查 463 例特应性皮炎患者中疾病严重程度、合并特应性疾病和丝聚蛋白突变与皮肤 HSV 感染风险的相关性。
采用卡方检验和曼-惠特尼 U 检验分析易感因素与 HSV 感染之间的相关性,并进一步采用二项逻辑回归分析以确定比值比。
过敏性结膜炎(OR:1.770;95%CI:1.008-3.109;p = 0.047)和患者年龄(OR:1.022;95%CI:1.007-1.036;p = 0.004)与复发性 HSV 感染和疱疹样湿疹有统计学显著关联。HSV 感染与特应性皮炎严重程度(p = 0.435)或丝聚蛋白突变状态(p = 0.886)无关。
研究结果强调了特应性皮炎合并过敏性结膜炎患者应重视 HSV 感染的重要性。
