Overview

Primary prevention applies to the patients with history of other atopic diseases and has not been diagnosed with atopic dermatits yet. Its primary goal is to reduce the risk of developing atopic dermatitis in the future.

Primary Prevention

  • Infections
    • Children who are frequently exposed to infections, carry an increased probability of development of atopic dermatitis and other allergic diseases.[1]
    • During pregnancy, exposure to antibiotics and infections is a crucial risk factor for the development of atopic march diseases.[2]
    • Recently studies, have not did not show a positive correlation between the hygiene hypothesis and development of atopic dermatitis.[3]
  • Vaccination
    • Contrary to old studies, recent published studies has observed a significantly lower risk of asthma and atopic diseases in children vaccinated vs children who were not vaccinated.[4]
  • Milk
  • Animals
    • Possession of fur animals in the house has significant affect on reduction of development of atopic dermatitis in children.[6]
  • House renovation
    • Mothers who have been living in a renovated areas during pregnancy has increased risk of developing atopic diseases in the children.[7]
  • Breastfeeding
    • Breastfeeding 4 months or more decreases the risk of development of atopic dermatitis and other atopic diseases upto 4 years of age.[8]

Primary Prevention:

  • Approaches to reduce development of atopic dermatitis in children:
    • Minimization of administration of antibiotics in infants.
    • Minimization of infections in infants.
    • Exclusive breastfeeding in the first 4–6 months of age.
    • Administration of probiotic bacteria in pregnant women 2–4 weeks before delivery and in infants for 6 months after birth.[9]
    • Avoiding renovated houses during pregnancy.
