Summary

Thurfyl nicotinate and methacholine reactions on the uninvolved and involved skin of patients with atopic dermatitis were investigated by reflectometry and photoelectric plethysmography. Temporal variations in response and multiple patterns were found and the significance of these findings is discussed.

Zusammenfassung

Die Reaktionen von Thurfylnicotinat und Methacholin im Bereich der unveränderten Haut und in Hautveränderungen bei Patienten mit atopischem Ekzem wurden mit Hilfe der Reflektometrie und photoelektrischen Plethysmographie untersucht.

Zeitliche Unterschiede der Reaktionen und mehrere Reaktionstypen wurden gefunden. Die Bedeutung dieser Resultate wird besprochen.
