Abstract

Eczema, as defined by the World Allergy Organization (WAO) revised nomenclature in 2003, affects 15% to 20% of school children worldwide and 2% to 5% of adults. Only about 50% of people with eczema demonstrate allergic sensitisation. Remission occurs in two-thirds of children by the age of 15 years, but relapses may occur later.
