Abstract

Atopic dermatitis is a common chronic inflammatory dermatosis in children with early-onset in infants [1]. It affects about 15-20% of children and 1-10% of adults in the general population [2]. It is the source of a costly economic cost of medical care and a significant deterioration in the quality of life of children and their parents [3]. It is essentially a disturbance of the sleep of the child and his parents by the pruritus and the cutaneous inflammatory symptoms as well as the bacterial complications observed [4]. Few works have been reported in the African literature on atopic dermatitis in infants. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic, and evolution aspects of atopic dermatitis in infants in Dakar.
