Lingua a carta geografica: criterio minore per la diagnosi di dermatite atopica?

Geographic tongue (GT) is a very frequent disorder in children. The authors investigated the population flocking to their outpatient department of pediatric dermatology during two years. They found a significant relationship between GT and atopic dermatitis. Moreover, the age prevalence of these two disorders was rather superimposable. These findings confirm many reports of the relevant literature regarding a significant relationship between GT and atopy. Moreover, these findings suggest that GT should be included among the minor diagnostic criteria of atopic dermatitis.
