One study found that patients with atopic dermatitis, a chronic skin disease, have a higher risk of getting skin infections. In particular, there is a high risk of developing a contagious water wart known as a water wart, and the onset of atopic dermatitis has been found to occur on average about two and a half months after diagnosis.

A team led by Professors Ji-hyeon Lee and Joo-hee Han from the Department of Dermatology at the Seoul Catholic University of Korea Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital analyzed 70,205 patients with atopic dermatitis using sequential correlation analysis from national health insurance data from 2010 to 2013 and announced that the results were as follows. In previous studies, patients with atopic dermatitis have been shown to have an abnormality in epidermal function or systemic immune function, or an increased risk of skin infection due to a decrease in antibacterial peptides, a biological defense material.
As a result of the research group’s analysis for skin infection disease, in patients with atopic dermatitis, compared with healthy controls, contagious warts were 5,273 times, impetigo 2,852 times, chickenpox 2,251 times, otitis media 1,748 times and herpes eczema (herpetic dermatitis) 1,292 times. , viral warts had a 1,105 times greater risk of infection. Furthermore, infectious disease had the highest prevalence of 1.06% and was observed as the shortest time to onset with a mean of 77.42 days after atopic dermatitis diagnosis.
Professor Lee Ji-hyeon said: “Atopic dermatitis is a chronic disease that recurs after stopping treatment and then recurs. It is more difficult to treat because it is more extensive and more severe than in healthy people, so it is It is important to receive adequate treatment for the patient through the care of a specialist, and it is important to receive regular care so that the atopic dermatitis does not get worse. ”The results of this study were published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine.
