“…However, another found no association of maternal smoking during pregnancy and the child's first 6 months of life with eczema in 10- to 12-year-old children [24]. In the present study, exposure to smoking at home was not found to be associated with atopic eczema, in accordance with earlier studies from Europe on the effect of parental smoking habits, conducted among 13- to 14-year-old schoolchildren [25,26] and one study from Taiwan on environmental smoking at home, conducted in younger children [27]. …”

Background: Tobacco smoking and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) are known risk factors for asthma, but their association with atopic eczema is unclear. Objective: To investigate the association of smoking and exposure to ETS with prevalence of atopic eczema in a national sample of 13- to 14-year-olds in Israel. Methods: Cross-sectional study within the framework of the International Study on Asthma and Allergies in Childhood. Results: Complete data were available for 10,298 schoolchildren. Atopic eczema as well as asthma and allergic rhinitis were significantly more prevalent in smokers than nonsmokers. Multiple regression analysis revealed a dose-response association between smoking and atopic eczema compared to not smoking: occasional smokers, odds ratio (OR) = 1.6 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.2-2.3); daily smokers, OR = 2.2 (95% CI = 1.4-3.6). Exposure to ETS at home was significantly associated with asthma (OR = 1.25; 95% CI = 1.1-1.5) but not atopic eczema. Conclusions: The dose-response association between active smoking and atopic eczema in adolescents is a novel observation which deserves further consideration.

“…Additionally, the protective effect of breastfeeding may vary with maternal diet, maternal allergies, and the duration of breastfeeding. Vlaski et al (2011) conducted a random survey of 3026 children, and found that household tobacco smoking habits did not influence asthma, rhinitis, or eczema among 13-14-year-old adolescents. In agreement with these findings, we found no significant correlation between passive smoking and AR severity herein.…”

ABSTRACT. The aims of the current study were to assess the clinical features of allergic rhinitis (AR) in children in Shanghai. Serumspecific IgE (sIgE) tests were performed on samples from patients with AR symptoms from January 2011 to December 2014. A disease-related questionnaire was completed after AR diagnosis. The allergen profile and clinical features of AR were analyzed. In total, 2713 AR patients were enrolled in this study. Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus was found to be the most common offending allergen in the study population. With increasing age, the prevalence of sIgE against inhalant allergens was significantly increased; however, the opposite trend was observed for food allergens. Additionally, the proportion of children with high levels of sIgE against D. pteronyssinus increased with age. Of the AR cases, 8.6% were classified as intermittent mild, 4.2% as persistent mild, 40.5% as intermittent moderate-severe, and 46.7% as persistent moderatesevere. A family history of allergies and a patient history of allergies within 6 months of birth were significantly associated with the duration and severity of AR symptoms. The occurrence of co-morbidities, such as allergic conjunctivitis, cough, and asthma, gradually increased from intermittent mild, persistent mild, and intermittent moderate-severe to persistent moderate-severe. The most frequently used drugs were topical corticosteroids and oral antihistamines, which were used by 86.7 and 79.0% of patients, respectively. These results confirm the adequacy of the Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) guidelines for classifying AR patients, and advance the understanding of clinical features of AR in children in Shanghai, China.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, pruritic inflammatory dermatosis that affects up to 25% of children and 2–3% of adults. This guideline addresses important clinical questions that arise in AD management and care, providing updated and expanded recommendations based on the available evidence. In this first of four sections, methods for diagnosis and monitoring of disease, outcomes measures for assessment and common clinical associations that affect patients with AD are discussed. Known risk factors for the development of disease are also reviewed.
