“…Depressive symptoms were more frequent in patients hospitalized because of AE compared with healthy, nonhospitalized controls. 20 Anecdotal reports suggested an association of AE and schizophrenia, 21,22 but no further investigations have been conducted. We recently described an association between AE and attention-deficit ⁄hyperactivity disorder in an outpatient sample of children and adolescents.…”

“…This study is the ®rst report to explore the causal relationship between predictors and adherence to treatment advice in AD. Only a few previous studies have referred to compliance matters in the treatment of AD (Poysa et al, 1988;Witkowski, 1988;Katzenberg and Hollander, 1989;Broberg et al, 1990;LoPresti, 1992;Fischer, 1996). We suppose one of the reasons for this is that there are no established and universally agreed treatment protocols for AD.…”

“…Adherence to treatment advice is a complex phenomenon involving many psychosocial factors. The literature concerning adherence to advice in AD is limited thus far to observational studies and anecdote (Poysa et al, 1988;Witkowski, 1988;Katzenberg and Hollander, 1989;Broberg et al, 1990;LoPresti, 1992;Fischer, 1996), and no systematic large-scale studies have been published. The main purpose of this study was to explore the complex associations between psychosocial factors and adherence to advice in pediatric AD, in order to understand how best the problems in this area might be recti®ed.…”

Poor adherence to maintenance treatment for atopic dermatitis and anxiety about using topical steroids are common features seen among children with atopic dermatitis and their mothers. No systematic study exploring factors associated with adherence to treatment advice on atopic dermatitis has been carried out to date. This study seeks to generate hypotheses regarding the relationship between a range of psychosocial factors and adherence to treatment advice on atopic dermatitis. An anonymous self-completed questionnaire containing adherence items, psychosocial items, some demographic items, and attitudes to steroid use was given to 258 mothers of atopic dermatitis follow-up patients who attended the National Children's Hospital, Tokyo. Responses from 205 families (80%) with complete data were then analyzed to explore the correlation between each factor and to build a structure equation model. The strongest predictor of adherence to skin-care treatment was a good doctor-patient (mother) relationship, followed by the severity of the disease as perceived by the mother. Surprisingly, the mother's anxiety about using topical steroids had no significant influence on reported use of topical steroids nor on adherence to skin-care treatment. This may have been overcome by the well-established doctor-patient (mother) relationship. Maternal personality, husband's cooperation, and social support were indirectly correlated with adherence via the doctor-patient relationship. Maternal self-efficacy of treatment was strengthened by good doctor-patient (mother) relationship.

“…In our opinion, her long history of violent episodes gives her case report a decidedly ''biologic feel,'' all the more so because of her severe atopic eczema, 17,18 her betathalassemia, 10 and her petit mal epilepsy by themselves also constitute severe afflictions in their own rights. As stated above, there are many intriguing theoretical links between her psychosis and her violent outbursts, her atopic eczema, her beta-thalassemia and her petit mal epilepsy.…”
