[Clinico-epidemiologic characteristics of eczema in patients with arterial hypertension]

A statistical analysis of 1007 eczema case histories has revealed arterial hypertension, mostly in bacterial eczema, in 24.8% of patients. A close multiple-factor relationship between eczema clinical manifestations and course and the presence of concomitant hypertension was revealed. A direct correlation was detected between the patients' age, sex, clinical manifestations and involved skin area in eczema and the level of arterial pressure. The authors emphasize that the detected specificities of eczema course in the presence of hypertension indicate a certain relationship between these diseases involving manifest abnormalities in the skin microcirculatory bed.
