Abstract:
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disease, which negatively impacts the individual's quality of life (QoL). In particular, moderate-to-severe AD is frequently difficult to treat. We report a case involving a 40-year-old male who has suffered from AD since early childhood and who also had co-morbid seasonal allergic rhinitis. In June 2021, we initiated treatment with the fully human IgG4 monoclonal antibody tralokinumab that specifically targets IL-13 and the patient has been followed for 38 weeks. During this time period, he received a booster vaccination for COVID-19 (week 18) and developed the disease in April 2022 (both with minimal impact). Tralokinumab treatment reduced AD symptoms, was well tolerated and improved QoL scores, and the patient reported that he was very satisfied with the treatment.
