  • Title: [Follow-up of cutaneous paradoxical vascular reactions in atopic patients during and after eczema manifestations].
    Author: Heyer G, Berg P, Hornstein OP.
    Journal: Hautarzt; 1995 Jan; 46(1):22-7. PubMed ID: 7875967.
    Abstract:
    In atopic eczema patients the well-known abnormal cutaneous reactivity of the blood vessels (white dermographism, delayed blanch after acetylcholine, paradoxical blanching after nicotinic acid application and diminished erythema after histamine injection) were observed during acute eczematous episodes and later in an exzema-free state in comparison with controls. In this follow-up study the use of different stimuli allowed us to demonstrate abnormal cutaneous vascular reactions in the patients depending on the severity of their atopic eczema. Severely affected patients showed persistence of the paradoxical vascular reactions even in an eczema-free cutaneous state.
