Efficacy of hyperbaric oxygenation in atopic dermatitis.
Ten patients (5 with atopic dermatitis and 5 with asthma-prurigo) aged 8-38 years, were treated with hyperbarie oxygenation, at the Institute of Maritime and Tropical Medicine. Daily one exposure was applied at 0.1 MPa pure oxygen, during 15 days. Parallelly to the clinical evaluation also G, M, E immunoglobulins and the level of C3 and C4 complement were determined. All patients given this treatment improved clinically. In 9 of them, the level of IgE immunoglobulin decreased. The complement levels also decreased.
