“…Different epidemiological studies have suggested that eczema is a disease of early onset, usually occurring during the first 2 years of life [16–18], which may persist to adulthood [3, 19]. In support of this assumption, it has been reported that eczema starting in infancy or early childhood in a group of clinical patients have a persistence between 40% and 60% [20–26]. Our population‐based cohort found a lower persistence from age 1‐or‐2 to 18 years (16.9%).…”

“…The finding that patients with seuere AD in childhood had persistent and widespread dermatitis as adul!s to a significantly higher degree than those with moderate dermatitis in childhood is in accordance with the results of several other studies (3,7,9,11), but contradicts Vickers's conclusion (10) that no relation exists between severity of AD in childhood and persistent dermatitis in adult life.…”

A long-term follow-up study (24 years minimum) was made of 955 individuals aged 24-44 years, who had atopic dermatitis (AD) in childhood. The material was divided into two groups; patients who in 1952-56 had been hospitalized on at least one occasion at the Department of Dermatology, Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm (Group 1), and patients who in 1955-56 had been out-patients in the same department (Group 2). At the time of investigation 62% and 40% of the patients in Groups 1 and 2 respectively had ongoing dermatitis, the majority with mild skin lesions. The frequency of healing of AD and severity of persistent or recurring dermatitis were influenced by several factors. In order of relative importance, disregarding sampling errors, persistent dry/itchy skin in adult life, widespread dermatitis in childhood, associated allergic rhinitis, family history of AD, associated bronchial asthma, early age at onset, and female sex were associated with low frequency of healing and increased severity of persistent or recurring dermatitis.

“…19 A majority of the children that participated in our study developed eczema before the age of 4 years. An Australian study suggests that the occurrence of atopic dermatitis reflects genetic differences to which environmental factors contribute.…”

The aim of our study was to estimate the prevalence and severity of allergic rhinitis, rhinoconjunctivitis, and eczema in Costa Rican schoolchildren. We have reported asthma prevalence in the same cohort elsewhere. A questionnaire based survey was conducted on a random sample of children (n 5 6144), aged 6-7 years and 13-14 years from 75 educational centers throughout Costa Rica, using the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) protocol. The prevalence in the 6-to 7-year-old group of rhinitis ever was 32.7%, rhinitis in the last 12 months 26.6%, and rhinoconjunctivitis 12.1%. In the 13-to 14-yearold group, the presence of rhinitis ever was 39.2%, rhinitis in the last 12 months 30.9% and rhinoconjunctivitis 14.8, showing significantly higher figures for the older group (p 5 0.001, p 5 0.0001, p 5 0.001). The prevalence of "ever having had a diagnosis of rhinitis" (by a physician) was 5.9% and 4.8% in the two age groups (NS). Children were more affected during the rainy season, May to October. The presence of rash ever was found in 27.2% and 26.3% (NS) in the two age groups. Rash in the past year was 18.4% (6-7 years) and 16.5% (13-14 years) ( p 5 0.04, OR 1.14), while 8.2% and 4.5%, respectively, had had a doctor's diagnosis of eczema ( p , 0.001, OR 1.87). At the age of 6-7 years, boys had rhinitis more often during the previous year, rhinoconjunctivitis and a doctor's diagnosis of rhinitis more often than did girls ( p 5 0.03, p , 0.001, p 5 0.02, p 5 0.001). At the age of 13-14 years the situation reversed ( p 5 0.01, p 5 0.003, p , 0.001, p 5 NS). The symptoms of rhinitis interfered more often with daily activities in the younger group than in the older group. Rhinoconjunctivitis was reported in 24.8% of the younger and in 28.4% of the 13-14 year olds (p 5 NS). Rash in the last 12 months was found in 24.4% of the 6-7 year olds and in 26% of the older group (p 5 NS). The prevalence of asthma, rhinitis, and eczema is high in Costa Rican school children. High humidity in some areas, the high concentrations of airborne allergens, pollution, and high concentrations of mites and cockroaches, due to westernization of bed material, may be responsible.
