Immune response to Staphylococcus aureus in atopic dermatitis.

C Hauser, B Wuethrich, L Matter

    |January 1, 1985

    Summary

    Patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) show a unique immune response to Staphylococcus aureus, including hyporesponsiveness to cell walls and elevated IgE. These immune changes may link to chronic S. aureus skin colonization in AD.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Dermatology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Atopic dermatitis (AD) is characterized by severe skin colonization with Staphylococcus aureus.
    • Understanding the immune response to S. aureus is crucial for managing AD.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate S. aureus-specific immune responses in AD patients compared to healthy individuals.
    • To identify unique immunological features associated with S. aureus colonization in AD.

    Main Methods:

    • Assessed delayed skin reactivity to purified S. aureus cell walls (PCW).
    • Measured serum IgE levels against S. aureus antigens (PCW and protoplast).
    • Correlated immune responses with clinical features like skin reactions, lymphadenopathy, and impetiginization.

    Main Results:

    • AD patients exhibited selective hyporesponsiveness to PCW in delayed skin tests.
    • Approximately 50% of AD patients had serum IgE against PCW and soluble S. aureus antigens.
    • Elevated PCW-IgE correlated with regional lymphadenopathy and high total IgE, but not immediate skin reactions.
    • Impetiginization was not associated with increased PCW-IgE.

    Conclusions:

    • The study suggests distinct alterations in the S. aureus-specific immune response in AD.
    • These immune changes are potentially linked to the persistent S. aureus colonization observed in AD skin.
    • Further research into these immune responses could inform novel therapeutic strategies for AD.
