Abrocitinib Improved Dupilumab-Resistant Severe Atopic Dermatitis with Comorbid Mild Alopecia Areata in a 12-Year-Old Boy: A Case Report with 1-Year Follow-Up
JOURNAL OF ASTHMA AND ALLERGY(2024)
Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) may sometimes be comorbid with alopecia areata (AA). However, traditional treatments for AA show limited efficacy. New treatment options, such as dupilumab and Janus kinase inhibitors, have proven efficacy in addressing both AD and AA. This article highlights the challenging case of a 12 -year -old boy experiencing severe refractory AD and comorbid AA treated with oral abrocitinib after dupilumab failure with 1 -year follow-up. After 3 months of treatment, his skin manifestations improved and the hair completely regenerated. No adverse reactions were observed during the 1 -year follow-up period. This case provides evidence of the efficacy and safety of using abrocitinib to treat pediatric patients with both AD and AA.
