Hypobaric chamber training has a potential risk of inducing decompression sickness (DCS). A case of a patient with an atopic dermatitis who complained of paresthesia and numbness in his left arm and shoulder during the altitude exposure is presented here. His symptoms were severe enough for the attending medical officer to diagnose Type II DCS, but it turned out to be a probable case of simple skin bends requiring no treatment. The author can find no better explanation for this discrepancy than the contribution of dermatitis. The possibility of atopic dermatitis confounding the correct diagnosis of the severity of DCS is proposed.
低压舱训练有诱发减压病（DCS）的潜在风险。本文介绍了一例特应性皮炎患者，其在海拔暴露期间抱怨左臂和肩部出现感觉异常和麻木。他的症状严重到主治军医诊断为II型DCS，但结果证明这可能是一例无需治疗的单纯皮肤弯曲病例。作者找不到比皮炎的影响更好的解释来解释这种差异。本文提出了特应性皮炎混淆DCS严重程度正确诊断的可能性。
