Abstract
Serum IgE levels and white dermographism were evaluated in atopic dermatitis, atopic skin, and infantile eczema. Elevated serum IgE levels were found in some atopics. In atopic dermatitis there was an increase in serum IgE levels and a more constant presence of white dermagraphism in association with increased severity of dermatitis. Likewise, in atopic skin there was an association of increased serum IgE levels with white dermographism. In infantile eczema, IgE was not increased above normal adult levels nor was there white dermographism.
