Abstract
Atopic dermatitis is a multifactorial inflammatory skin disease with genetic predisposition characterized by itching, chronic relapsing course, age-dependent localization and morphology of the lesions. In a situation where external therapy for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis does not have sufficient effect, patients are prescribed systemic therapy. Currently, dupilumab is the first line systemic therapy option for the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Along with its high effectiveness, a number of side effects have been described.
This article describes a clinical case of a patient with severe atopic dermatitis and food allergy, who started therapy with dupilumab. During the treatment, the patient experienced several subsequent adverse effects: conjunctivitis, herpes infection, eosinophilia.
