Summary
The incidence of allergic diseases has increased intensely in last 30 years. Prevalence of atopic eczema has been increasing worldwide during the last decades, especially in industrialized countries. There is a lack of reports focusing on long-term studies evaluating the course of atopic eczema with respect to association with other allergic symptoms in affected patients. The aim of our study is to evaluate the epidemiological data in patients with atopic eczema on the basis of questionnaire and to evaluate statistically the association between investigated catogories (the onset of atopic eczema, the occurence of asthma bronchiale, the occurence of adverse effects of food and food allergy, the occurence of seasonal or permanent rhinoconjunctivitis). Statistic evaluation (classification independency tested by χ2 test) of results showed that the onset of atopic eczema before 5 years of age is associated with statistically significant increase in frequency of adverse effects of food in adults and more frequent worsening of atopic eczema in relation to food. On the other hand, our results did not show relation of asthma bronchiale to the onset of atopic eczema before 5 years of age.
Key words:
atopic eczema – asthma bronchiale – rhinitis – adverse effects of food
