Abstract

Jejunal biopsy specimcns were obtained from ten patients with severe atopic dermatitis and 15 controls. Light microscopical examination of hematoxylin-eosin stained sections showed normal condition in all atopic patients and intra-epithelial lymphocyte counts did not differ significantly from counts in controls. Scanning electron-microscopical examination demonstrated minor mucosal changes in five of the atopic patients. Immunohistochemical studies did not reveal any significant changes in the class proportions and numbers or jejunal immunoglobulin-producing cells.
