Abstract:
Background: Dupilumab is used for treatment of atopic dermatitis through blockade of IL-4 and IL-13 signaling of the Th2 pathway. Recent case reports have described alopecia, psoriasis, persistent facial dermatitis, and recall dermatitis at patch test sites after the initiation of dupilumab therapy.Case report: We describe the case of a 67-year-old female with atopic dermatitis who developed recurrent episodic flares of rosacea temporally associated with dupilumab injections that resolved after dupilumab discontinuation.Conclusion: The cause of rosacea-like reaction associated with dupilumab treatment is unknown. Th2 pathway inhibition by dupilumab may promote Demodex proliferation and increased IL-17-mediated inflammation implicated in the pathophysiology of rosacea.Abbreviations: atopic dermatitis: AD; interleukin: IL; persistent facial dermatitis: PFD; T-helper cell type 1: Th1; T-helper cell type 2: Th2; T-helper cell type 17: Th17; tumor necrosis factor-∝: TNF-∝.
