Amaç: Atopik yürüyüş, alerjik hastalıkların atopik dermatitten (AD) alerjik astım ve rinite ilerlemesini açıklayan bir modeldir. Çalışmamızda AD tanısı konan ve en az 5 yaşına kadar takip edilen hastalarda alerjen duyarlılığı ve alerjik hastalık varlığını değerlendirirken, klasik atopik yürüyüş tanımının beklentilere ne kadar cevap verdiğini araştırmak amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Başvuru sırasında yaşları 2 yaş ve altında olan, AD tanılı, ve en az 5 yaşına kadar düzenli olarak takip edilen hastaların dosya kayıtları geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları kaydedildi. Hastaların 5 yaşında iken alerjik hastalık varlığı ve alerjen duyarlılık durumları not edildi.
Bulgular: Kriterleri karşılayan AD tanılı 41 hasta belirlendi. Başvuru sırasında 28 (%68.3) hastada besin duyarlılığı saptandı. Hastaların 5 yaşına geldiğinde 13 (%31.7)’ünde astım, 12 (%29.2)’ sinde alerjik rinit tanısı saptandı.
Sonuç: AD’li hastalarda astım ve alerjik rinit sıklığı normal popülasyon verilerine göre daha yüksek bulundu. Ancak gıda duyarlılığı ile astım ve/veya alerjik rinit gelişimi arasında bir ilişki gösterilemedi. AD’de etkili cilt bakımının, alerjik hastalıkların gelişmesine karşı koruyucu olabileceği düşünüldü. Klinisyenlerin çocuklarda atopik hastalık modellerinin heterojenliğini anlamaları ve bu değişkenliği ortadan kaldırabilmeleri için AD’li bebeklerin sonraki yaşamlarında takip edilmeleri faydalı olacaktır.
Objective: Atopic march is a model that explains the progression of allergic diseases from atopic dermatitis (AD) to allergic asthma and rhinitis. In our study, while evaluating the presence of allergen sensitivity and allergic diseases in patients who were diagnosed with AD and followed up until the age of at least 5 years, we wanted to investigate how much the definition of classical atopic gait responded to expectations.
Material and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the file records of patients diagnosed with atopic dermatitis, whose ages were 2 years and under at the time of application and followed up regularly until at least 5 years of age. We recorded the clinical and laboratory findings. We noted the allergic disease status and allergen sensitivity of the patients when they were 5 years old.
Results: Forty-one patients with a diagnosis of AD who met the criteria were identified. During the application, we found food sensitivity in 28 (68.3%) patients. When 41 patients reached the age of 5, 13 (31.7%) were diagnosed with asthma and 12 (29.2%) were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis.
Conclusion: We found the frequency of asthma and allergic rhinitis higher in patients with AD than in the normal population. However, we could not show a relationship between food sensitivity and the development of asthma and/or allergic rhinitis. Effective skin care in AD can be protective for developing of allergic diseases. In order for clinicians to understand the heterogeneity of atopic disease models in children and to eliminate this variability, infants with AD should be followed up in later life.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 6 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
