Article Synopsis
- Recent studies show that serum levels of SCCA1 and SCCA2, which are influenced by type 2 cytokines, are higher in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), but the specific role of SCCA2 in AD patients has not been thoroughly investigated.
- This study analyzed serum SCCA2 levels in 240 adult AD patients and 25 healthy controls, correlating these levels with clinical characteristics and other laboratory indicators.
- Results indicated that serum SCCA2 levels are positively correlated with AD severity, and levels decreased after treatment, suggesting that SCCA2 could be a useful biomarker for assessing and managing AD.*
