Abstract

Dry skin or xerosis is a common ailment occurring both as a separate disease entity and as a symptom of other diseases, e.g. it is a cardinal symptom of atopic dermatitis1 . Infections have been described in xerosis associated with dermatitis2 . Whether xerosis without dermatitis is a risk factor for skin infections remains unknown. We therefore tested if individuals with xerosis had a risk of skin infections.
