Adult Atopic Dermatitis with Comorbid Atopic Disease is Associated with Increased Risk of Infections: A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study

It is known that those with asthma or allergic rhinitis have impaired immune responses that may predispose them to infections. This study sought to determine whether adult AD is associated with systemic infections, and whether association is strengthened in those with AD plus another atopic disease.
