Shifting patterns of allergen sensitization in 8,797 children with atopic dermatitis during the COVID-19 restriction measures: A retrospective study from Hangzhou, China
The allergen sensitization profile in Hangzhou is distinct and heavily dominated by house dust mite. COVID-19 restriction measures were independently associated with divergent, allergen-specific shifts, highlighting the profound influence of environmental and behavioral factors. These findings advocate for dynamic, region-specific management and inform public health planning for allergic diseases.
