Abstract

The aetiologies and treatment of pruritus in children tally, to a certain degree, with what is observed in adults. Moreover, the aetiological assessment to be made for an isolated case of pruritus in a child is identical to the one proposed for an adult. Nevertheless, the existence of more specifically pediatric pruritic dermatoses, as well as the location of the atopic dermatitis, justifies the dedication of a separate chapter for an examination of the causes of pruritus in children. © 2010 Springer-Verlag London.
