Prurigo as a symptom of atopic and non‐atopic diseases: aetiological survey in a consecutive cohort of 108 patients

Abstract

PN does not seem to represent a characteristic symptom of one disease only. Multiple pruritogenic diseases are linked to evolution and improvement of PN upon treatment. Atopic predisposition is a major factor in nearly half of PN patients. The large collective of the present study helped detect a broad range of underlying diseases and thus to provide recommendations for rational diagnostics.
