Abstract

【Objective】 To assess the clinical application of skin prick tests of food allergens in infants with eczema. 【Methods】 170 infants aged 4~12 months suffered from eczema were involved in this study. Skin prick tests of six food allergens were analyzed. Dietary prevention were applied in infants with positive results for 8 weeks, and compared the skin symptoms. 【Results】 The overall positive rate was 69.71%. The positive rate from high to low were egg white(42.35%), egg yolk (36.47%), cow milk(27.06%), ribbon fish(18.82%),prawn(17.65%),soybean(9.41%). After 8 weeks of dietary prevention, obvious remission of the skin symptoms were found in 90.68% infants. 【Conclusions】 Most infants with eczema have food allergy. The avoidance of offending food is a effective treatment. SPT is important to diagnosis and treatment of food allergy in infants with eczema.
