Dupilumab facial redness: histologic characterization on a series of four cases.

Dupilumab-related head and neck dermatitis is an increasingly reported clinical manifestation occurring in 4-10% of patients on dupilumab that was apparently not reported in clinical trials. Out of 62 adult patients treated with dupilumab for atopic dermatitis in the authors' center, four cases (6%) of head and neck dermatitis were observed, for which a skin biopsy was obtained. Onset occurred between 8 and 24 weeks after initiation of dupilumab, and the reaction resolved after 8-12 weeks.

Impact of COVID-19 on patients with atopic dermatitis.

Data on the tolerability and response to biologic therapies for type 2 immune disorders in the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are currently lacking. Our survey aimed at assessing the adherence of patients to dupilumab therapy and the risk of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. A total of 80 patients with atopic dermatitis treated with dupilumab completed a web-based survey.

Cutaneous adverse reactions after COVID-19 vaccines in a cohort of 2740 Italian subjects: An observational study.

An in-depth characterization of the incidence, morphology, and onset of COVID-19-vaccines cutaneous adverse reactions is currently lacking. The existing literature on COVID-19 vaccination-related cutaneous adverse reactions largely focused on messenger RNA vaccines and mainly included type 1 hypersensitivity reactions, such as urticaria and angioedema. Other cutaneous manifestations are still poorly characterized and have been classified as delayed hypersensitivity rash.

Eosinophilic panniculitis triggered by arthropod bites in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Skin findings are common among patients with hematological malignancies and are thought to be expressions of a reactive spectrum peculiar to immunosuppressed patients with an unclear pathogenesis. Eosinophilic panniculitis is a reaction pattern defined by single or multiple lesions consisting in nodules and plaques, and sometimes in papules and pustules, characteristically associated to hematological neoplasms or to a series of benign conditions such as arthropod bites. We report a case of eosinophilic panniculitis occurring in a 77-year-old woman with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Atopic dermatitis in the elderly Caucasian population: diagnostic clinical criteria and review of the literature.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic relapsing eczematous dermatitis typically affecting young patients in a percentage from 15 to 20%; although it typically affects young people and adults, recent papers highlighted the emerging of the disease in the elderly population.

Methods: The aim of the study was to identify the clinical criteria and allergic sensitization that may be able to support physicians and dermatologists in making a correct diagnosis of AD in the elderly. The second aim of this study was to investigate the incidence, the main features, the gender prevalence, the immunological profile, and comorbidities characterizing patients older than 65 years affected by AD.
