Although most cases of both diseases are mild and managed with topical anti-inflammatory medicaments, the advent of new systemic and biologic treatments targeting type 2 inflammation in both diseases warrants further insight in the exact overlap of AD and rhinitis.
Objective: To determine the association between AD and rhinitis.
Article Synopsis
- Asthma is commonly found in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), prompting a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore this relationship and asthma's prevalence in these patients.
- The analysis reviewed 213 studies, revealing that 25.7% of individuals with AD also have asthma, compared to 8.1% in the general population, indicating a significant association between the two conditions.
- The study highlights variations in how asthma and AD were defined across research, and recommends that physicians should pay attention to potential asthma symptoms in patients with AD.
