Dupilumab successfully controlled eczema in Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome over 52 weeks

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by immunodeficiency, thrombocytopenia, and eczema. The Management of eczema remains still a major clinical challenge. We present a rare case of eczema associated with WAS in an 8-year-old boy whose lesions significantly improve after a 4-week treatment of dupilumab, a interleukin(IL)-4α receptor monoclonal antibody. Although eczema relapsed after stopping dupilumab, and alleviated after dupilumab was resumed. Finally, the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score decreased to less than 7 after the patient receive dupilumab 300 mg every 4 weeks over 52 weeks. This case suggests that dupilumab is a promising therapy alternative for patient with eczema in WAS.
