Behavioral characteristics in 18- to 36-month-old toddlers with atopic dermatitis compared with healthy children.
Some differences in behavioral characteristics have been attributed to atopic dermatitis (AD). In this study, AD patients compared with healthy toddlers had significantly higher scores in perceptual sensitivity and high pleasure in an early childhood behavior questionnaire (ECBQ). They tended to be more energetic and impulsive, and also showed more excitement when subjected to novel stimuli.
