Abstract Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a risk factor for children's onset of food allergy. This study aims to explore the frequency of food allergies among children with AD and their relationship with the severity of the disease. Materials and Methods: This analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted on 48 children under 14 years old diagnosed with AD. Patients were divided into three groups according to age: younger than 2 years, between 2 and 7 years, and between 7 and 14 years. Serum IgE level of food-specified allergen was measured. Then, the children were categorized into three groups for comparison based on AD severity, food allergy type, and frequency. Results: The frequency of allergy to egg, peanut, and cow milk was 66.7%, 37.5%, and 18.8 % in the patients, respectively. Boys have more allergies to peanuts (46.2%) than girls (27.3%). Egg allergy is prevalent among both genders (girls 63.6% & boys 69.2%). Allergy to cow's milk was higher in the age group under 2 years old (23.1%). Half of the children between 7-14 years old had allergy to peanuts (50%). Over half of the children in all age groups had egg protein allergies. The patients with mild and moderate AD had more allergies (25.0%) to cow milk than severe AD patients (6.2%). Conclusion: This study indicated that food allergy is common in patients with AD, and nearly two third of the patients were allergic to one foodstuff. Meanwhile, allergy to eggs was more common among the patients compared to other foodstuffs.
