AB  - Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common chronic dermatitis in children. The 
      influence of AD on quality of life of parents of children with AD was studied 
      using the Family Dermatology Life Quality Index (FDLQI). Fifty children with AD 
      were included in the study (age range 2-24 months) together with their parents. 
      Children's AD was found to influence the quality of life of both parents; 
      however, it had a more significant influence on quality of life of mothers than 
      that of fathers (mean FDLQI: 17.1 +/- 5.3 vs. 14.7 +/- 5.8 points; p < 0.001). Due to 
      the children's AD, mothers spent more time caring for them and carried out more 
      household duties. Childhood AD had a greater impact on quality of life of fathers 
      through influence on their work or education. The influence of AD on the quality 
      of life of family members is significant, and this should be taken into account 
      in the therapeutic process.
