Atopic dermatitis (AD) in early childhood often precedes the development of food sensitization and allergy, but the role of treating AD to prevent food allergy remains poorly understood. Our objective was to assess the relationship between facial dermatitis and food sensitization to cow's milk, egg whites, and peanuts in early childhood, as aggressive treatment of facial dermatitis could serve as a potential opportunity for food sensitization prevention. By 3 years of age, food sensitization levels to cow's milk, egg whites, and peanuts were 48% greater in children with facial AD than in children with no facial involvement of their AD. Additional research is needed to determine if facial involvement of AD in infants and young children is associated with increased food allergy.
特应性皮炎（AD）在幼儿期常先于食物致敏和过敏发展，但治疗 AD 以预防食物过敏的作用仍知之甚少。我们的目的是评估幼儿期面部皮炎与牛奶、蛋清和花生食物致敏之间的关系，因为积极治疗面部皮炎可能是预防食物致敏的潜在机会。到 3 岁时，有面部 AD 的儿童对牛奶、蛋清和花生的食物致敏水平比无面部 AD 儿童高 48%。需要进一步的研究来确定婴幼儿 AD 的面部受累是否与食物过敏增加有关。
