Diagnosing atopic diseases in neonates involves a combination of clinical evaluation and family history:
1. Clinical Examination: Physicians look for characteristic signs such as dry, itchy skin for eczema, or wheezing for asthma. 2. Family History: A detailed family history of atopic diseases can aid in diagnosis. 3. Allergy Testing: Though less common in neonates, skin prick tests or specific IgE tests can confirm allergies.
