The Lothian atopic dermatitis study

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, debilitating skin disease. Children have occupied the major part of investigators' time, but cross-sectional community studies, encompassing the whole population, are lacking. This thesis describes an epidemiological study, based on a general practice of 9,786, and assesses, at all ages, the prevalence, the economic burden to patients and the health service, and the quality of life of patients with atopic dermatitis.
