Key clinical point: Children who later developed atopic dermatitis (AD) had a delayed maturation of the skin microbiome and increased levels of proinflammatory stratum corneum biomarkers before AD onset.
Major finding: Children who did vs did not develop AD later had significantly increased levels of stratum corneum biomarkers (thymus and activation-regulated chemokine, interleukin-18, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interleukin-22, etc.; all P ≤ .01) and greater variance over time in the most abundant 14 core amplicon sequence variants (P = .04), indicating delayed establishment of a stable skin microbiome.
Study details: This study longitudinally analyzed the epidermal biomarker levels and microbiome profiles of 50 children who were at a high risk for AD from a previous randomized study, of whom 26% of children developed AD up to month 24.
Disclosures: This study was supported by the BIOMAP project, LA ROCHE-POSAY Laboratoire Pharmaceutique, France, and others. Four authors declared receiving institutional research grants, honoraria for consulting, etc., from or having other ties with various sources.
