Abstract

Rice is the main food taken every day in Japan. We introduced hypoallergenic rice (95% of albumin and globulin were taken off by hyperpressure method) for 4 weeks to 7 atopic dermatitis patients (m 3, f 4), 11 mo-4 y 8 m (mean 3 y 2 m) who showed the RAST score of rice 1 or more. Stimulation Index by CAST (cellular antigen stimulation test) were compared before and after taking the rice (50-100 g). By albumin (0.1-100 micrograms/ml), maximum decreases of S.I. were 22.4-96.5% (mean 70.9) and by globulin maximum decreases of S.I. were (0.1-100 micrograms/ml) 33.3-97.0% (mean 72.9). In all the patients the skin conditions were improved.
