In this largely clinic-based cohort of young children with AD, allergic sensitization to peanut, egg, cat or dog was associated with more severe disease and skin barrier function but not markers of cutaneous inflammation. These data need replicating in a population-based cohort but may have important implications for understanding the interaction between AD and allergic sensitization.
