Eczema in Early Childhood may Cause Psychological Problems
Children whose eczema persisted beyond the first two years of life were more likely to have mental health problems than children who had eczema only in infancy.
Within the framework of the GINIplus study, scientists tracked the family history of the children, collected data on their physical health and emotional condition at age 10 years and gathered information on their daily lives. Questions were asked about the course of disease - also in early childhood - with special focus on diseases such as eczema, asthma, allergic rhinitis, stress tolerance and behavioral abnormalities.
Joachim Heinrich said: "We suspect that it is mainly the secondary symptoms that have a long-term effect on the emotions of the affected children."
The authors of the study therefore recommend documenting the occurrence of eczema as potential risk factor for later psychological problems in the children's medical records, even if he actual primary disease abates and disappears during the course of childhood.
