Intestinal permeability in patients with atopic eczema.
Passive intestinal permeability was measured in 15 adult patients with atopic eczema. Values in the patients did not differ significantly from those in 12 healthy control subjects. These results suggest that altered intestinal permeability is not important in the pathogenesis of atopic eczema in adults.
