T helper 2 polarization in senile erythroderma with elevated levels of TARC and IgE.

Background: Some cases of senile erythroderma tend to be diagnosed as senile atopic dermatitis (AD) based on elevated levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC). However, there are few studies that describe the detailed characteristics of senile erythroderma and senile AD.

Objective: We examined the association of erythroderma with AD.
