SKIN MICROFLORA IN CHILDREN WITH DIFFERENT CLINICAL VARIANTS OF ALLERGIC DERMATOSES

Skin microflora of 120 children with different allergic dermatoses was examined before and after traditional and eubiotic therapy. The findings evidence a higher level of skin contamination in the patients than in healthy children, this contamination being more intensive in disseminated dermatoses than in local ones. This may be probably explained by specific features of the horny layer of the skin of allergic dermatosis patients. Addition of eubiotics to combined therapy was conducive not only to liquidation of dysbiotic shifts in intestinal microflora, but to normalization of the skin microflora as well, that being, possibly, due to the detected correlation between intestinal and skin microbiocenosis.
