Overview
There diagnosis of atopic dermatitis remains clinical as there is no reliable bio-marker that can differentiate the atopic dermatitis from other skin diseases.
Laboratory Findings
- There are no reliable diagnostic laboratory findings associated with atopic dermatitis.
- The most common laborotory finding in atopic dermatitis is an elevated total and/or allergen-specific serum IgE level, which is not present in about 20% of affected individuals.[1]
- Monitoring of IgE levels is not recommended for the assessment of atopic dermatitis severity.
- Some of new biomarkers using the SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) index and other severity scales
