Abstract:
In Romania there are only few epidemiological studies on atopic dermatitis, so that a study on

813 from 8th forms. ISAAC questionnaires were used, and there were analyzed a number of parameters:
presence of erythema lasting more than 6 months, presence of itching at this level last year, its location
in the fold of the elbow, in the popliteal region, at the ankles, under the bottom, around the neck, ears or
eyes, the number of nocturnal awakenings due to itching and if ever had eczema / atopic dermatitis.
