Abstract:
The case of a 50-year-old woman with an intensely pruritic subacute prurigo resistant to multiple therapeutic regimens is described. Therapy with cyclosporin was started, achieving complete control of the disease, demonstrating a good safety profile during long-term treatment. This is the first report on the successful use of cyclosporin for subacute prurigo.
