The relationship between infantile seborrheic dermatitis (ISD) and infantile atopic dermatitis (IAD) is controversial. Methods

Ninety-six children aged 2–12 months diagnosed with atopic dermatitis and a comparable control group of healthy children were evaluated. Demographic data, personal history of ISD and personal or family history of atopy was considered in both groups. Results

A personal history of ISD was found in 49% of IAD cases and in 17% of controls (P < 0.05). Conclusions

Our result and those of the literature do not demonstrate a relationship between ISD and IAD. However, a number of cases of AD have an ISD-like clinical picture. It is probable that ISD is a syndrome and not a disease.", pages = "349-351(3)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/bsc/ijd/2002/00000041/00000006/art00009" doi = "doi:10.1046/j.1365-4362.2002.01497.x" }
