Effect of early‐life antibiotic exposure and IL‐13 polymorphism on atopic dermatitis phenotype
Abstract
Although atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with certain gene variants, the rapidly increasing incidence of AD suggests that environmental factors contribute to disease development. In this study, we investigated the association of AD incidence and phenotype with antibiotic exposure within 6 months of age, considering the dose administered and genetic risk.
