    Author: Nakato H, Wakazono Y, Bessho R, Higaki Y, Mikawa H.
    Journal: Arerugi; 1995 May; 44(5):540-6. PubMed ID: 7619007.
    Abstract:
    Forty-seven infants with atopic dermatitis (AD) were examined for ECP (eosinophil cationic protein) levels in sera at 3 to 4, 6 to 7, 12 and 18 months after birth. ECP levels in AD were significantly higher than those of control infants at every examination. The levels of ECP in AD were significantly correlated with the severity of dermatitis judged by a slightly modified version of the method of Businco et al. We concluded that ECP levels in sera are a useful marker for the severity of dermatitis in infants with AD.
