To investigate the prevalence of infantile and early childhood eczema in a Japanese population, we clinically inspected the entire bodies of 4-month-old infants (341 cases), 10-month-old infants (339 cases) and 3-year-old children (341 cases). The examination was performed in spring, when exacerbations of infantile and childhood eczema most frequently occur in Japan. Eczema was observed in 30-31% of the infants, and in 20% of the 3-year-old children. The prevalence was almost the same as in similar age groups that we examined 20 years ago.Downloads
