Does Eczema Lead to Asthma
Journal of Asthma, 06/19/09

Burgess JA et al. - The authors describe a plausible biological pathway with eczema as the first step in a progressive atopic march that over time leads to asthma and/or allergic rhinitis. Such a pathway has implications for the understanding of these disorders and steps that might be made to prevent the development of asthma in particular. Such studies may materially improve the quality of life of eczema patients and will have important public health benefits if the interventions lead to a reduction in the burden of asthma.
