Topical treatments are not always effective, and although modern systemic immunomodulatory therapies for AD, including use in early childhood, are available, their impact on co-occurring MCV infection is not well documented. We present a 4-year-old child with severe EM that was refractory to conventional topical therapy. She was treated with dupilumab (300 mg subcutaneously every four weeks), which led to a rapid resolution of symptoms and clinical clearance of MOCV-1 infection without adverse events. To contextualize our findings, we performed a systematic literature review, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Google Scholar, to identify published case descriptions of dupilumab use with co-occurring MOCV infection (PROSPERO ID CRD420251106639). We identified a total of six publications reporting on nine adult patients (mean age: 40 years, range: 21-58 years, 8/9 male). In five of these patients, EM temporarily flared up before resolution. The present report is the first of a child. Our findings, along with existing reports, suggest that dupilumab may be a safe and effective treatment option for AD patients with MOCV infection. Prospective evaluation using standardized outcome measures is warranted.</p>","PeriodicalId":14758,"journal":{"name":"Journal Der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147838058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
