Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) may sometimes be comorbid with vitiligo. However, these therapeutic agents are often slow acting and lead to various adverse effects, resulting in poor patient compliance. This report describes a 65-year-old male patient with refractory moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) and generalized vitiligo. The patient was treated with repeated antihistamine and dupilumab injections; however, erythema and pruritus did not improve. Consequently, oral abrocitinib was administered to treat AD and vitiligo, and the patient's generalized erythema, papules, and pruritus ameliorated with the repigmentation of vitiligo lesions. This case provided evidence of the efficacy and safety of oral abrocitinib for patients with concurrent refractory AD and vitiligo.
期刊介绍:
An international, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research, reports, editorials and commentaries on the following topics: Asthma; Pulmonary physiology; Asthma related clinical health; Clinical immunology and the immunological basis of disease; Pharmacological interventions and new therapies.
Although the main focus of the journal will be to publish research and clinical results in humans, preclinical, animal and in vitro studies will be published where they shed light on disease processes and potential new therapies.
