Pemphigus Vulgaris With Esophageal Involvement in an Atopic Child Successfully Treated With Dupilumab.
We report the case of a 3-year-old boy who was diagnosed with childhood pemphigus vulgaris having developed oral lesions, gastrointestinal symptoms with esophageal involvement, and failure to thrive. He had a markedly increased total serum IgE level and peripheral blood eosinophilia. The pemphigus was recalcitrant to conventional therapies and, based on the coexisting characteristics of Th2 immune deviation, he was treated with dupilumab and has had sustained clinical improvement since starting treatment. The case illustrates the importance of recognizing pemphigus vulgaris in childhood, considerations for dupilumab therapy, and a potential pathophysiological links between pemphigus autoantibodies in early life, Th2 inflammation, and atopic disorder.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Dermatology answers the need for new ideas and strategies for today''s pediatrician or dermatologist. As a teaching vehicle, the Journal is still unsurpassed and it will continue to present the latest on topics such as hemangiomas, atopic dermatitis, rare and unusual presentations of childhood diseases, neonatal medicine, and therapeutic advances. As important progress is made in any area involving infants and children, Pediatric Dermatology is there to publish the findings.
