Key clinical point: Atopic dermatitis (AD) does not have a significant association with the development of photodermatoses, including photosensitivity, photoallergy, and contact allergy.
Major finding: Of the phototested patients, 23 had a history of AD, of whom 52.2% were photosensitive and 34.8% were photopatch test-positive. Phototested patients with and without AD showed no significant differences in terms of the development of photosensitivity (P = .61), photoallergy (P = .25), or contact allergy (P = .74).
Study details: Findings are from a 10-year retrospective cohort study including 101 patients with or without a history of AD who were tested for sensitivity to UV-A, UV-B, and visible light, followed by photopatch or contact patch testing if photoallergy or simple contact dermatitis was suspected.
Disclosures: This study did not receive any funding. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
