Abstract
This case report describes, to our knowledge, the first known successful treatment of airborne allergic contact dermatitis to sesquiterpene lactone with upadacitinib in an adult patient. Recurrent summertime photodistributed eczematous eruptions should raise suspicion for airborne allergic contact dermatitis to sesquiterpene lactone, and positive patch test results to sesquiterpene lactone and Compositae in these patients should be considered highly relevant. In addition to allergen avoidance, treatment with systemic Janus kinase inhibitors can induce allergic contact dermatitis remission. Our patient did not respond to allergen avoidance or topical corticosteroids; however, he achieved almost complete resolution of his allergic contact dermatitis with a 6-week course of upadacitinib, a Janus kinase 1 inhibitor.
期刊介绍:
SAGE Open Medical Case Reports (indexed in PubMed Central) is a peer reviewed, open access journal. It aims to provide a publication home for short case reports and case series, which often do not find a place in traditional primary research journals, but provide key insights into real medical cases that are essential for physicians, and may ultimately help to improve patient outcomes. SAGE Open Medical Case Reports does not limit content due to page budgets or thematic significance. Papers are subject to rigorous peer review and are selected on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication. By virtue of not restricting papers to a narrow discipline, SAGE Open Medical Case Reports facilitates the discovery of the connections between papers, whether within or between disciplines. Case reports can span the full spectrum of medicine across the health sciences in the broadest sense, including: Allergy/Immunology Anaesthesia/Pain Cardiovascular Critical Care/ Emergency Medicine Dentistry Dermatology Diabetes/Endocrinology Epidemiology/Public Health Gastroenterology/Hepatology Geriatrics/Gerontology Haematology Infectious Diseases Mental Health/Psychiatry Nephrology Neurology Nursing Obstetrics/Gynaecology Oncology Ophthalmology Orthopaedics/Rehabilitation/Occupational Therapy Otolaryngology Palliative Medicine Pathology Pharmacoeconomics/health economics Pharmacoepidemiology/Drug safety Psychopharmacology Radiology Respiratory Medicine Rheumatology/ Clinical Immunology Sports Medicine Surgery Toxicology Urology Women''s Health.
