Abstract
Twenty three of 113 patients (20%) with atopic eczema had neutralising antibodies to herpes simplex virus compared with 34 of 113 matched controls (30%), an insignificant difference. This suggests that children with atopic eczema are no more likely to acquire herpes simplex infection than normal children.
