Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, recurrent inflammatory skin disease usually caused by genetic predisposition, immune dysregulation, epidermal barrier dysfunction and interaction of environmental factors. Atopic dermatitis is part of atopic march and is often accompanied by food allergy. Aeroallergenic sensitization at early age is not an expected finding. Here, we present five cases with moderate-severe atopic dermatitis during infancy, in whom food allergy was detected and the symptoms improved only partially despite elimination and treatment.
