Verified by National Taiwan University Hospital, July 2005

Sponsored by:	National Taiwan University Hospital
Information provided by:	National Taiwan University Hospital
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00173498

Estimated Enrollment:	60
Study Start Date:	July 2005
Estimated Study Completion Date:	October 2005

Detailed Description:

The allergens involved in atopic patients are widely existed in our environment. Traditionally, we use serum specific IgE, skin prick test or intradermal test to verify the possible causative allergens in patients with atopic dermatitis. This study will evaluate the correlation between serum specific IgE, skin prick test, intradermal test, and patch test for common allergens in adult patients with atopic dermatitis.
