Filter by:Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) is a bacterium that causes many painful skin and soft tissue conditions, such as scalded-skin syndrome, boils, or impetigo. Serious cases may result in deadly complications but S.aureus can usually be treated successfully with antibiotics. There are, however, certain strains which cannot be treated with standard antibiotics. Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one such strain. MRSA is increasingly being seen in both hospital and community settings, making it a serious public health issue. People with Atopic Dermatitis (AD), particularly those with a history of Eczema Herpeticum (EH), may be at greater risk for infection by MRSA. The reason for this higher risk is unknown but may be linked to extended treatment with staphylococcus antibiotics in addition to the absence of certain proteins on their skin, which have immune function. The purpose of this study is to determine the reasons for MRSA infection in AD participants with and without a history of EH.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin. AD is very frequent, and involves T lymphocytes cells. Measles vaccination, as well as measles vaccine, induces a temporary immunosuppression; furthermore, an improvement of AD has been observed during measles infection. This trial is aimed at demonstrating that measles vaccine is able to create an immunomodulation and to improve AD symptoms. 30 adult patients of both sexes with moderate to severe AD will be randomly assigned to measles vaccine (ROUVAX ®), or placebo (vehicle) and follow-up for 45 days. The primary outcome is the effect of anti-measles vaccination on the T cell responses in patients; Other outcomes include: clinical evolution of AD, as measured by the SCORAD, the evolution of blood level of measles specific IgE and antibodies; evolution of other biomarkers and phenotypic characteristics of T lymphocytes.
The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness and safety of desloratadine (Aerius) syrup in children with allergic skin inflammation. Patients took desloratadine syrup once a day for 28 days. Once a week, the doctor measured the patient's symptoms. This measurement is called SCORAD. The doctor also rated how much relief the patient got from treatment and recorded any side effects.
In about 800 children with allergic diseases (asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis) the investigators will retrospectively and cross-sectionally analyze the influence/correlation of diagnosis, treatment methods, allergy status (skin prick test results), lung function tests results on/with the concentration of nitric oxide in exhaled breath.
The systemic treatments for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) are limited to phototherapy and cyclosporine with the risks respectively of either carcinoma, or hypertension or nephropathy. Methotrexate was effective in 75% of moderate to severe AD patients with good tolerance in an open retrospective study. We want to confirm our observations: a non inferiority multicenter clinical trial, methotrexate versus cyclosporine, will be conducted in 100 patients for 24 weeks.
Seven-month study in pediatric patients (2-11 years) with moderate to severe AD who were considered to benefit from vaccination to prevent invasive disease caused by Neisseria meningitides serogroup C.
The investigators will contact 64 patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) who participated in a long-term tacrolimus ointment trial in Helsinki 10 years ago, and ask them to participate in this follow-up study. The investigators will do the same tests as 10 years ago, i.e. bronchial hyperreactivity, skin prick tests, serum-IgE, Mantoux-test (2 TU), and questionnaires about asthma and allergic rhinitis symptoms. The investigators also collect data about their AD medication during the last 10 years. The investigators hypothesis is that when the skin condition improves in patients with AD the brochial hyperreactivity improves. The investigators also want to study whether different treatments play a role in the development or resolution of bronchial hyperreactivity.
This study will examine whether administration of oral Vitamin D3 given over 21 days will change the antimicrobial peptide expression in the skin or saliva of subjects with Atopic Dermatitis (AD). This study will help researchers determine if the lack of the expression of antimicrobial peptides in individuals with AD plays a role in the susceptibility to eczema vaccinatum (EV).
This study is a single dose escalation study of tezepelumab (AMG 157) in healthy adults (Part A) and adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (Part B). The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and pharmacokinetics of tezepelumab.
The study was performed to investigate the effects of mare's milk on SCORAD, faecal microbiota and immunological parameters in patients with atopic dermatitis.
