From flare to care: Dermatologists' impact on pediatric atopic dermatitis hospital admissions.
Pediatr Dermatol
September 2024
Background/objectives: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic skin disease in the pediatric population; however, rates of admissions for flares in patients established with dermatology compared to those that are not established have not been fully assessed in prior studies.
Methods: We reviewed electronic medical records of patients hospitalized (billing codes 99221-99223, 99217) with diagnoses encompassing AD, eczema, and dermatitis (ICD-10 codes L20.8-L20.
Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin disease that affects 20% of children worldwide and is associated with low patient-reported quality of life (QoL). Crisaborole (CRIS) and tacrolimus 0.03% (TAC) are Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved topical treatments for mild to moderate AD with similar clinical efficacy.

- Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare and severe skin reaction with systemic complications, requiring deeper investigation as existing data are mostly from small, retrospective studies.
- A study reviewed 340 cases of AGEP from multiple academic health systems in the US over a 20-year period, focusing on patient demographics, clinical outcomes, and treatment.
- The findings revealed that the majority of patients were middle-aged women, often triggered by medications, with common symptoms including fever and changes in white blood cell counts, indicating an immune response.
Prurigo nodularis is a pruritic skin condition that can present therapeutic challenges. We present a series of three patients diagnosed with prurigo nodularis who had failed several commonly trialed therapies, but experienced relief from symptoms and improvement in skin lesions following initiation of dupilumab therapy. All patients in this series lacked a diagnosis of atopic dermatitis and had lesions on the lower extremities, although other locations such as the trunk were also involved.
