Pediatr Dermatol. 1986 Feb;3(2):125-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1525-1470.1986.tb00502.x.

Abstract

We evaluated a child with atopic dermatitis associated with protein-losing enteropathy, which responded to a chicken-based diet. Allergic gastroenteropathy is a potentially hazardous disease that may be more frequent in children with atopic dermatitis than is currently realized.
