Attenuated Free Cortisol Response to Psychosocial Stress in Children with Atopic Dermatitis

Psychosomatic Medicine · 1997 · Vol. 59(4) · pp. 419–426

Abstract

These findings suggest that the adrenocortical response to stress is attenuated in atopic children. A hyporesponsive hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis might explain in part the stress-induced eruptions of AD symptoms.
