- Authors
GALLO, Rosella; TRAVE, Ilaria; PARODI, Aurora
- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 24-year-old man, with neither family nor personal history of AA or psoriasis, presented with severe adult-onset AD duration that was recalcitrant to topical corticosteroids and systemic, ciclosporin. The article discusses that IL-4 is a known negative regulator of Th1- and Th17- mediated inflammation. It has been suggested that its blockade by dupilumab may create a Th2/Th1 imbalance and enhance or promote Th1/Th17.
