Abstract

Patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) are at increased risk of atopic and non-atopic comorbidities. In fact, the Hanifin and Rajka criteria include allergic and infectious comorbidities as a minor criterion. Despite the well-recognized list of comorbidities, the past 15 years greatly expanded the list of recognized comorbidities of AD. This narrative review focuses on comorbidities of AD using a mnemonic, VINDICATE-P: vascular/cardiovascular, infectious, neoplastic and neurologic, degenerative, iatrogenic, congenital, atopic and autoimmune, traumatic, endocrine/metabolic, and psychiatric. The comorbidities of AD vary by age. More research is needed into the mechanisms of comorbidities and optimal screening strategies in AD patients.
