CJ Broccardo, S Mahaffey, J Schwarz, L Wruck… - Journal of allergy and …, 2011 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common inflammatory skin disorder in
the general population worldwide, and the majority of patients are colonized with
Staphylococcus aureus. Eczema herpeticum is a disseminated herpes simplex virus
infection that occurs in a small subset of patients. OBJECTIVES: The goal was to conduct
proteomic profiling of patients with AD based on S aureus colonization status and history of
eczema herpeticum. We hoped to identify new biomarkers for improved diagnosis and …
