Summary
Elevated levels of immunoglobuline E in blood are said to promote the occurence of atopic
dermatitis; in fact, many patients with atopic dermatitis have high IgE levels. This study
tried to explore whether the depletion of IgE from blood and skin might result in a change of
immunological parameters and might alter the clinical course of the disease.
