Abstract

This article discusses the use of dupilumab, a biologic medication, for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) in pediatric and young adult patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEIs). The medication has been approved for use in children with moderate to severe AD who have inadequate control with topical therapies. The article presents case studies of patients with IEIs and AD who were treated with dupilumab, showing significant clinical improvement as early as week 4 of treatment. However, further studies are needed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of dupilumab in this patient population. [Extracted from the article]
