Introduction: Interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 are considered key drivers of type 2 inflammatory diseases. Dupilumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that blocks the shared receptor component for IL-4 and IL-13, thus inhibiting signaling of both cytokines.

Case Study: We report a case of a patient with uncontrolled severe asthma and other T2 inflammatory diseases (atopic dermatitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis and eosinophilic esophagitis) treated with dupilumab.

Introduction: There is a need to optimise the management of atopic dermatitis (AD), improving the efficacy of treatments and reducing the toxicity associated with them. Although the efficacy of ciclosporine (CsA) in the treatment of AD has been thoroughly documented in the literature, the optimal dose has not been yet established. The use of multiomic predictive models of treatment response could optimise CsA therapy in AD.

Background: Biologics have revolutionized the treatment of many diseases. In this regard, omalizumab (OMA), an anti-IgE monoclonal antibody, is the recommended therapeutic option for patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) refractory to second-generation H1-antihistamines. Several studies confirm the efficacy and safety of the drug.

Background: Allergic contact dermatitis from glucose sensors may interfere with their ongoing application.

Objective: To evaluate a series of Spanish patients with contact dermatitis to glucose sensors regarding former sources of contact allergens, patch test results, and outcomes from the ongoing use of the device.

Methods: A series of patients with contact dermatitis from glucose sensors was investigated in eight dermatology departments across Spain (epidemiological features, brands, latency time to develop dermatitis, the ability to continue using the devices as well as the patch test results).

Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is an uncommon entity clinically characterized by erythematous annular plaques with atrophic and hypopigmented center, that predominates in sun-exposed zones. The histology shows a granulomatous infiltrate without palisading image, made up of lymphocytes, histiocytes and giant cells, with phagocytosis of elastic fibers, without necrobiosis or mucin deposit. We present the case of a male patient with atypical clinical manifestation on the non-sun exposed skin and AEGCG characteristic histology.
