Abstract

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the effects of atopic care program through observing atopic patients who have lived in atopic-free village located Geumsan of Chungnam province.
Methods: Seventeen children (boy 7, and girl 10) with atopic dermatitis had moved into atopic-free village of Geumsan, and they have been cared with atopic care program. Atopic dermatitis symptoms were measured every month using SCORAD (Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis) and EASI (Eczema Area and Severity Index) from March, 2012 to September, 2013. The changes of scores were analyzed using paired t-test.
Results: The median month of residence period was 19.9 months (range from 6 to 42 months). The atopic symptoms were significantly improved on SCORAD (p<0.01) and EASI (p<0.1) respectively.
Conclusion: Despite the limitation of the small number of study subjects, this study may provide the possibility of natural environment-based therapy for children with atopic dermatitis.
