title: [What role does the immune system play in the condition of a double form of atopy? Note I. Considerations on the behavior of the lymphocyte population and the immunoglobulins in children with atopic dermatitis in whom asthma develops].
abstract: Certain humoral and cellular immunological parameters were assessed in patients with either pure atopic dermatitis or dermatitis combined with asthma in order to discover if there were any significant differences between the two clinical forms. The study was conducted on 15 children of both sexes who were investigated for a familial history of atopy, serum immunoglobulins including the IgE group and certain lymphocyte populations. The data reveal that apart from the immunoglobulins, the other immunological parameters perform no differently in pure dermatitis than in dermatitis and asthma. It is therefore deduced that the immunological damage might be caused by the basic eczema.
