Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, non-infectious inflammatory dermatosis, with increasing prevalence in recent decades. Due to its chronic and recurrent nature, it diminishes the quality of life of patients and their families. In recent years, advances in the understanding of AD's pathophysiology have driven the development of targeted therapies such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) which modulate the immune system through specific signaling pathways, providing effective alternatives to traditional systemic immunosuppressive agents.
