Key clinical point: Among patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), those with vs without a history of Staphylococcus aureus skin infections have significantly higher odds of having a history of eczema herpeticum (EH).
Major finding: Patients with AD and with vs without a history of S aureus skin infections had a 6.60-fold increased risk of having a history of EH (adjusted odds ratio 6.60; P = .002).
Study details: This multicenter, clinical registry study included 112 patients with AD and with (n = 56) or without (n = 56) a history of EH, matched by age and AD severity.
Disclosures: This study was supported partly by a National Eczema Association Engagement Research Grant. Several authors declared serving as consultants or investigator for or receiving grants, personal fees, or clinical trial support from various organizations.
