Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus produce antimicrobial substances against members of the skin microbiota in children with atopic dermatitis.

Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) species inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus has been described in the skin of atopic dermatitis (AD) patients. This study evaluated whether Staphylococcus spp. from the skin and nares of AD and non-AD children produced antimicrobial substances (AMS).

Methicillin-resistant and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus isolates from skin and nares of Brazilian children with atopic dermatitis demonstrate high level of clonal diversity.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) primarily affects the pediatric population, which is highly colonized by S. aureus. However, little is known about the genetic features of this microorganism and other staphylococcal species that colonize AD patients.

Clinical oral profile of pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis: A cross-sectional study.

Objectives: This work aims to describe oral health conditions, eating habits, and oral hygiene in pediatric and adolescent patients with atopic dermatitis and correlate them with the severity of the Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD). Also, we aim to estimate the effect of several variables on the diagnosis of dental caries in these patients.

Material And Methods: A total of 92 children and adolescents with atopic dermatitis had their oral cavities examined.

Oral Aspects Identified in Atopic Dermatitis Patients: A Literature Review.

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that is more prevalent in children (10-20% of the world's population) than in adults. As its etiology is multifactorial, it is important to know the most frequent oral manifestations in atopic dermatitis patients.

Methodology: In the last decades, the correlation between atopic dermatitis and conditions and/or changes in the oral cavity has been demonstrated by several studies.

Peanut allergy as a trigger for the deterioration of atopic dermatitis and precursor of staphylococcal and herpetic associated infections - case report.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial and chronic disease, with genetic, environmental, immunological and nutritional origins. AD may be aggravated by allergies associated with infections. This study aims to describe a paediatric case of AD in which the peanut allergy was the triggering factor to aggravate the disease, and was also the concomitant precursor of staphylococcal (methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, carrier of the Panton-Valentine leukocidine (PVL) genes) and herpetic (Herpes Simplex - HSV) infections.

HLA antigens in individuals with down syndrome and alopecia areata.

Aim: To describe human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles in individuals with Down syndrome and alopecia areata.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, which evaluated 109 individuals. Ten with down syndrome (DS) and alopecia areata (AA), ten with DS without AA and ten with AA without DS, and their families.
