摘要：Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial and chronic disease, with genetic, environmental, immunological and nutritionalorigins. AD may be aggravated by allergies associated with infections. This study aims to describe a paediatric case of ADin which the peanut allergy was the triggering factor to aggravate the disease, and was also the concomitant precursor ofstaphylococcal (methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, carrier of the Panton-Valentine leukocidine (PVL) genes) andherpetic (Herpes Simplex – HSV) infections. The clinical management approach and nursing strategies promoted a favourableevolution during the hospitalization period, besides the family approach, which was essential to control any flare-up of thedisease. Adherence to a recommended diet and the use of strategies to prevent any recurrent infections were importantto ensure the patient’s quality of life.
