Abstract
Patients with both severe atopic dermatitis (AD) and chronic myeloid l eukemia, chronic hepatitis B, or chronic hepatitis C were treated with interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha). IFN-alpha treatment improved AD. Moreov er, there were also significant decreases in serum IgE and IgG4 levels and in in vitro spontaneous IgE and IgG4 production by patients' mono nuclear cells.
