Study Results from Jagiellonian University Provide New Insights into Allergy and Immunology

2012 OCT 24 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Immunotherapy Weekly -- Fresh data on Allergy and Immunology are presented in a new report. According to news reporting originating in Krakow, Poland, by NewsRx editors, the research stated, "Both atopy and diseases from the spectrum of dermatitis and eczema are among the most frequent clinical problems worldwide; nevertheless, they are still poorly defined and too frequently misdiagnosed. In the present review, studies pertinent to this topic were systematized and critically assessed with particular attention to definitions of relevant diseases."

The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Jagiellonian University, "The overall message from the research done to date is that various types of dermatitis frequently coexist. Atopy and contact allergy seem independent, while there is insufficient data to state upon the relationship between atopy and allergic contact dermatitis. Furthermore, it seems at present that atopy does not, whereas atopic eczema does constitute a risk factor for irritant contact dermatitis. The interplay between atopy and diseases from the spectrum of dermatitis and eczema is not fully understood; nevertheless, their coexistence and overlapping are not rare. Therefore, every patient with eczema - regardless of age, sex or atopic status - should undergo an extensive diagnostic programme including each atopic eczema, irritant contact dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, and protein contact dermatitis."

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "Better definitions and well designed studies are necessary to achieve detailed information on the complex relationships between each atopy, atopic eczema, and the three contact dermatitides."
