title: [Neuropeptides in atopic dermatitis in children].
abstract: Radioimmunoassay was used to measure the blood plasma content of endogenous opioid peptides (beta-andorphine, methionin- and leucine-enkephalins), R substance, calcium-regulating hormones (parathyroid hormone and carcitonin), ionized calcium and cortisol in 152 children aged 6 months to 12 years with atopic dermatitis. The data obtained were compared to those obtained in healthy children. The stress-activating and stress-limiting systems were established to be activated in all the patients. It is concluded that the intensity of the adaptation compensatory process depends on the clinical form, disease standing, and spreading of skin impairment.
