Sammanfattning:<b>BACKGROUND: </b> Atopic dermatitis is a chronic recurrent genetically determined skin disease affecting all age groups. <b> PURPOSES: </b> To study epidemiological and environmental factors, clinical patterns and the relationship of atopic dermatitis with ABO blood group system. <b> METHODS: </b> In 30 atopic dermatitis patients blood group distribution was compared with the distribution in 1500 relative donors of the blood bank of the same institute. <b> FINDINGS: </b> There were 18 males (60&#x0025;) and 12 females (40&#x0025;). Family and personal history of atopy were observed in 21 (70&#x0025;(and 19 cases (63.3&#x0025;) respectively. <b> CONCLUSIONS: </b> Blood group O subjects were significantly less in the study population in comparison to control. <b> LIMITATION: </b> Hospital based study with small sample size; hence the result cannot be generalized.
