A 10-Year Single Centre Experience of Erosive Pustular Dermatosis of the Leg: A Possible Correlation with Atopic Dermatitis?

Based on the observation in our clinical practice of a higher incidence of AD in patients with EPDL rather than in the other patients assisted by our Wound Care Unit, we performed a study to evaluate whether these two entities are somehow related. Regarding AD, 11/51 patients were not evaluated because of death or inaccessibility, so only 40/51 patients were evaluated for AD. Nevertheless, the observation of a medical history of AD in 42.5% of patients with EPDL suggests that EPDL frequently affects patients with AD. [Extracted from the article]
