Abstract
An 11 mo. old boy is presented with chronic atopic dermatitis and recurrent infections of the skin and respiratory tract, including subcutaneous abscesses. Immunological studies disclosed a neutrophil chemotactic defect, blood eosinophilia and serum hyper-IgE [immunoglobulin E]. The clinical and analytical data are similar to those of patients previously described. A diet free of the allergens which were responsible for the atopic dermatitis reversed the chemotatic defect, the blood eosinophilia and the clinical symptoms.Keywords
