The majority of dermatitis cases in adults result from chronic or relapsing atopic dermatitis in childhood. Adult-onset atopic dermatitis, also known as idiopathic chronic eczematous eruption of aging (CEEA), is a phenomenon seen in adults 50 years and older with no prior history of atopic dermatitis. CEEA is often a diagnosis of exclusion after ruling out more serious causes of dermatitis including bullous pemphigoid (BP), allergic conditions, and hematologic malignancies.

Purpose: To evaluate the presence of atopy in patients with ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP).
Method: Patient encounters between August 2005 and November 2016 at the Massachusetts Eye Research and Surgery Institute (MERSI) were searched to identify those with biopsy-proven OCP who had concurrent evidence of atopy.
Results: There were 230 patients with biopsy-proven OCP.

The presence of circulating self-reactive IgE in patients with autoimmune disorders has been long known but, at the same time, largely understudied. However, studies have shown that the increased IgE concentration is not associated with higher prevalence for atopy and allergy in patients with autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus.
