Manejo dos eventos adversos do dupilumabe na dermatite atópica e no prurigo nodular / Management of the adverse effects of dupilumab in atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis

A dermatite atópica (DA) e o prurigo nodular (PN) são doenças inflamatórias da pele que cursam com lesões variadas, como eczemas, pápulas e nódulos, acompanhados de intenso prurido e, nos casos graves, de importante prejuízo da qualidade de vida para os pacientes e seus familiares. O dupilumabe está aprovado no Brasil para o manejo das duas condições: DA moderada/grave e PN que não responde aos tratamentos tópicos. A eficácia e segurança do dupilumabe foram amplamente estabelecidas para ambas as condições em ensaios clínicos e estudos de vida real. Este artigo tem como objetivo revisar os principais eventos adversos (EAD) associados ao uso do dupilumabe em DA e PN, e auxiliar no seu manejo. Desde o início do uso da medicação, há alguns anos, os principais EAD reportados foram: a reação no local da injeção, a doença da superfície ocular (conjuntivite não infecciosa, blefarite, olhos secos), a eosinofilia e o eritema de face/pescoço. Outras manifestações também foram observadas em pacientes com DA em uso de dupilumabe, mas sem associação comprovada: psoríase, artralgia e alopecia areata. Apesar de muito infrequentemente levarem à suspensão do dupilumabe, é fundamental que os médicos prescritores deste medicamento para estas condições, dermatologistas e imunoalergistas, saibam detectar e manejar seus possíveis eventos adversos.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) and prurigo nodularis (PN) are inflammatory skin diseases characterized by various lesions such as eczema, papules, and nodules, with marked pruritus and, in severe cases, significant impairment of quality of life for patients and their families. Dupilumab is approved in Brazil for the management of both moderate/severe AD and PN that does not respond to topical treatments. The efficacy and safety of dupilumab have been extensively established for both conditions in clinical trials and real-world studies.This article aims to review the main adverse events (AEs) associated with the use of dupilumab in AD and PN and assist in their management. Since the introduction of dupilumab a few years ago, the main reported AEs have been injection site reactions, ocular surface disease (non-infectious conjunctivitis, blepharitis, dry eyes), eosinophilia, and facial/neck erythema. Other manifestations have also been observed in patients with AD on dupilumab, but without proven association: psoriasis, arthralgia, and alopecia areata. Although AEs very infrequently lead to discontinuation of dupilumab, it is crucial that physicians prescribing it for these conditions, dermatologists, and immunologists know how to detect and manage its possible adverse effects.

A real-world observational study of dupilumab treatment in adult patients with prurigo nodularis

Abstract Background: Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that has a significant unmet needs for effective treatment options. Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of dupilumab in adult patients with PN refractory to traditional therapies. Methods: This ongoing, real-life study examined dupilumab treatment in 8 adult patients diagnosed with PN for at least 6 months. The included patients were prescribed 300 mg dupilumab biweekly for at least 16 weeks. Efficacy was the primary outcome by means of multiple standardized scale measurements while safety was also reported. Results: PN patients treated with dupilumab showed notable clinical improvement. After 16 weeks of dupilumab treatment, the mean Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score reduced from 3.75 to 1.50. Patients mean Numerical Rating Scale Itch Intensity (NRSI), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) ratings reduced from 8.625, 15.13, and 14.50 to 1.563, 4.625, and 1.000 respectively. The majority of the patients (87.5%) reported dupilumab as effective while no adverse events have been reported. Study limitations: This study was limited to a small cohort of adult PN patients and a short-time observation period. Conclusions: Dupilumab is effective and tolerable in adult PN patients with significant improvement in skin lesions, itching, and quality of life.

Diagnosis and classification of chronic prurigo / 中华皮肤科杂志

Chronic prurigo is an independent chronic inflammatory skin disease, and complex underlying etiologies or comorbidities may exist in patients. Diagnosis of chronic prurigo requires a systematic process, including identifying core symptoms, taking a comprehensive medical history, performing physical examination, completing necessary laboratory or imaging tests, and assessing disease severity. Treatments of chronic prurigo include management of possible causes and comorbidities, and stepwise control of pruritus. This review mainly summarizes clinical diagnosis, classification and treatment of chronic prurigo.

Treatment of acquired perforant dermatoses with allopurinol / Tratamento de dermatose perfurante adquirida com alopurinol

Perforating dermatoses are papulonodular cutaneous pathologies characterized by transepithelial extrusion of components of the extracellular matrix of the dermis, by inflammation or degeneration. When secondary, the systemic diseases are called Acquired Perforating Diseases. Our letter aims to report a case of acquired perforating dermatoses secondary to chronic renal dialysis. The treatment with Allopurinol proved to be effective in this case. Allopurinol would act as an antioxidant, reducing the inflammatory reaction in tissues and consequent damage to the collagen fibers (AU)

Dermatoses perfurantes são patologias cutâneas papulonodulares que se caracterizam pela extrusão transepitelial de componentes da matriz extracelular da derme, por inflamação ou degeneração. Quando são secundárias as doenças sistêmicas são chamadas Doenças Perfurantes Adquiridas. Nossa carta tem como objetivo relatar caso de dermatose perfurante adquirida secundária a insuficiência renal crônica dialítica. O tratamento com Alopurinol se mostrou eficaz neste caso. O Alopurinol atuaria como antioxidante, reduzindo a reação inflamatória nos tecidos e consequentes danos nas fibras colágenas (AU)

Efficacy and safety of dupilumab in the treatment of adult prurigo nodularis / 中华皮肤科杂志

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dupilumab in the treatment of adult prurigo nodularis.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on patients with prurigo nodularis who received the treatment with dupilumab in Peking University People′s Hospital from January 2021 to November 2021. Efficacy was assessed using the Investigator′s Global Assessment (IGA) , Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) at weeks 0, 4 and 16. Wilcoxon signed-rank test and paired t test were used to analyze changes in the above parameters before and after treatment. Results:A total of 17 patients were enrolled in this study, including 12 females and 5 males, aged 48.47 ± 16.26 years. After 16-week treatment with dupilumab, the pruritus NRS score decreased from 8.00 ± 1.50 at baseline to 1.29 ± 0.85 ( t = 6.98, P < 0.001) , the sleeplessness NRS score decreased from 5.18 ± 2.98 at baseline to 0.12 ± 0.49 ( t = 12.55, P < 0.001) , and the DLQI score declined from 13.29 ± 4.03 at baseline to 0.88 ± 0.70 ( t = 16.39, P < 0.001) ; at week 16, the IGA grade of all the 17 patients decreased from 3 - 4 at baseline to 0 - 2, 16 achieved IGA grades 0 - 1, and 12 achieved IGA grade 0. During the treatment, mild conjunctivitis occurred in 2 cases, local injection reaction occurred in 1, and both conditions were improved after short-term symptomatic treatment. Conclusion:Dupilumab is markedly effective and safe in the treatment of adult prurigo nodularis.

Lesiones en la piel causadas por ácaros de palomas / Skin lesions caused by bird mites

El prurigo agudo es una patología sumamente frecuente y con múltiples etiologías, entre las cuales se encuentran los ácaros de las aves. La incidencia de esta dermatosis ha aumentado en el último tiempo. Existen diferentes parásitos que colonizan las aves y que, al tener contacto con el ser humano, generan lesiones papulosas de tipo prurigo. El agente causal más involucrado es Dermanyssus gallinae, no siempre hallado en el momento del examen físico. Se presenta el caso de una mujer con lesiones papulosas en el tronco y las extremidades, iniciadas luego del contacto con detritos de palomas.

Acute prurigo is an extremely frequent dermatosis with multiple etiologies, including bird mites. Recently, there has been an increase in the reported cases of human infestation cases caused by bird acarus. Many parasites colonize birds and the infestation to humans produces papular lesions. Dermanyssus gallinae is the most common acarus involved. We report a woman with papular lesions in trunk and extremities after contact with a bird nest.

Prurigo nodular crónico / Chronic nodular prurigo

El prurigo nodular crónico se caracteriza por un ciclo de prurito y excoriación en el que intervienen mecanismos neurodérmicos, asociado a diversas enfermedades. Se manifiesta con placas o nódulos hiperqueratósicos cupuliformes. El tratamiento, enfocado en reducir el prurito, representa un desafío por la frecuente resistencia a las terapéuticas habituales. Se describe el caso de un hombre de 72 años, con antecedentes psiquiátricos, que presentó una dermatosis pruriginosa recalcitrante refractaria a múltiples esquemas de tratamiento.

Chronic prurigo nodularis is characterized by a cycle of itching and excoriation involving neurodermal mechanisms, associated with various diseases. It manifests with cupuliform hyperkeratotic plaques or nodules. Treatment is focused on reducing itching and is a challengue due to the frequent resistance to the usual therapies. We present the case of a 72-year-old man with a psychiatric history, who presented a recalcitrant pruritic dermatosis refractory to multiple treatment regimens.

Value of the toluidine blue test as an aid to determine the biopsy site in actinic prurigo cheilitis

Actinic prurigo (AP) is a type of photodermatosis that primarily affects the Latin American mestizo population. Histologically, AP cheilitis exhibits acanthosis with spongiosis and vacuolation of the basal cell layer overlying a dense lymphocytic inflammatory infiltrate that forms well-defined lymphoid follicles. Toluidine blue is a thiazide, acidophilic, and metachromatic dye used in vivo to selectively stain the acidic components of tissues such as sulfates, carboxylates, and phosphate radicals that are incorporated into DNA and RNA. It is necessary to develop a method that allows detecting, on clinical grounds the area of the lesion in which it is more feasible to find such structures. Thus to increase the sensitivity of the biopsy, in AP cheilitis to accurately identify where the lymphoid follicles reside, based on the higher concentration of DNA in such structures and thus confirm the diagnosis. In this study, staining was positive in 85% of patients with AP cheilitis, in 14 of whom 82% lymphoid follicles were observed by histopathology. One of the pathologist's problems in establishing the diagnosis of AP is that the main histopathological characteristics are not always identified in the submitted samples because it is not easy to clinically identify the most representative site of the lesion selected for performing a biopsy. Based on our results, we propose using toluidine blue as an auxiliary method to choose a tissue sample to facilitate the diagnosis and allow clinicians to make clinical correlations between the histopathological and therapeutic findings.

Introduction: Actinic prurigo is a chronic photodermatosis. It affects the Latin American population more frequently, predominantly women, and involves the sun-exposed areas of the skin, conjunctiva, and lips. Objective: To update the information on the clinical-epidemiological characteristics and treatment of patients with actinic prurigo in Colombia. Materials and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study including the medical records of patients with actinic prurigo treated in the Photodermatology Service of Hospital Universitario Centro Dermatológico Federico Lleras Acosta between 2011 and 2016. We described the demographic, clinical, histopathological, and treatment characteristics of the patients. Results: We included 108 patients, 77 (71.3%) were women and 31 (28.7%) men, mainly with phototypes III-IV (70%). The disease had begun during the first decade of life in 66.4% of the cases and 25% of the patients had a family history with the condition. The lesions predominated on the face (93.5%), forearms (79.6%), and back of the hands (70.4%). Ocular (87.9%) and lip (88.8%) involvement was also documented. A photo-provocation test with UVA was performed in 25% of the cases and skin biopsies in 19.4%. Physical and chemical photoprotection was indicated in all patients. Mild to moderate cases were treated with topical corticosteroids (91.7%) and calcineurin inhibitors (65.7%) while severe cases received thalidomide (33.3%) and pentoxifylline (14.8%). Conclusion: The characteristics of actinic prurigo patients in Colombia are similar to those reported in other Latin American countries: early onset of the disease, predominance in women, frequent involvement of conjunctiva and lips, and adequate response to topical and systemic treatment.

Prevalence of various dermatoses in pregnancy at a tertiary care centre in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India: an observational study

Background: This was a prospective study which was done to observe various skin lesions in pregnancy and to determine the most likely causes and their incidence in antenatal patients, it was noticed that many women in our institute were having pregnancy related cutaneous complaints thus this observational study was carried out so that better preventive measures and treatment options could be provided to these patients.Methods: Study was conducted in out-patient department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, TMU, Moradabad.

Skin eruption induced by dieting – an underdiagnosed skin disease in Malaysia

@#Prurigo pigmentosa is an inflammatory dermatosis characterized by a pruritic, symmetrically distributed erythematous papular or papulo-vesicular eruption on the trunk arranged in a reticulated pattern that resolves with hyperpigmentation. It is typically non-responsive to topical or systemic steroid therapy. The exact etiology is unknown, but it is more commonly described in the Far East countries. Dietary change is one of the predisposing factors. We report on nine young adult patients with prurigo pigmentosa, among whom five were on ketogenic diets prior to the onset of the eruptions. All cases resolved with oral doxycycline with no recurrence. We hope to improve the awareness of this uncommon skin condition among general practitioners and physicians so that disfiguring hyperpigmentation due to delayed diagnosis and treatment can be avoided.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner sign: a hallmark of flea and bedbug bites

Abstract: Human, dog, and cat fleas, as well as bedbugs, feed by biting their victims, causing acute prurigo, which is aggravated in sensitized victims (papular urticaria). The lesions appear in the classic "breakfast, lunch, and dinner" pattern. There are two main explanations: the parasites "map" the skin area in search of the best places to bite, and their removal when victim scratches, and then reattach to the skin. Treatments aim to control pruritus, as well as hypersensitivity reactions when necessary. Prevention is based on environmental control measures. The "breakfast, lunch, and dinner" sign is a definitive marker for diagnosis and the parasite´s identification and control.

Xerosis cutis and associated co-factors in women with prurigo nodularis

Abstract: Background: Current data regarding the associated factors of prurigo nodularis are still uncertain, except for atopic predisposition. Objectives: The purposes of this study were to (1) determine the frequencies of xerosis and other accompanying diseases of female patients with prurigo nodularis; (2) compare the demographic, clinical and accompanying disease characteristics by grouping these patients according to whether they have associated xerosis (who were subsequently subgrouped as atopic or non-atopic) or not. Methods: In this retrospective descriptive study, 80 females with PN were categorized according to the accompanying diseases (dermatological, systemic, neurological, psychogenic, mixed, or undetermined origin). Results: A total of 45 associated co-factors including dermatological in 63 (78.8%), systemic in 57 (71.3%), psychological in 33 (41.3%) and neurological co-factors in 14 (17.5%) of all patients with prurigo nodularis were detected. Xerosis was observed in 48 (60%) patients (non-atopic co-factors in 66.7% of them). The ratio of patients with mixed co-factors, dermatological+systemic co-factors and dermatological+systemic+psychological co-factors were found to be significantly higher in patients with xerosis compared to those without xerosis. Study limitations: Our study has certain limitations such as the absence of an age-matched control group, absence of follow-up data and the fact that the diagnosis of xerosis has not been based on objective methods. Conclusions: Xerosis has been identified in more than half of the patients with PN and it has been determined that in most patients xerosis is associated especially with diabetes mellitus and other conditions related to prurigo nodularis.

Expression of E-cadherin, syndecan 1, Ki-67, and maintenance minichromosome 3 in tissue lesions of actinic prurigo obtained by incisional biopsy

Actinic prurigo (AP) is an idiopathic photodermatosis; the initial manifestations usually occur during the first decades of life but can appear at any age. Cases are usually diagnosed late once the lesions have exacerbated; due to the extensive involvement of the vermilion border and the etiology, it has been confused with and related to a potentially malignant process. Syndecan-1 and E-cadherin were positive in the epidermis, with moderate-to-intense staining in 100% of samples. Ki67 and MCM3 were expressed in the lower third of the epidermis and showed greater immunolabeling in samples that contained lymphoid follicles (Ki 67: epidermis [17.7% ± 6.79%] and dermis [7.73% ± 6.69%]; MCM3: epidermis [22.92% ± 10.12%] and dermis [6.13% ± 6.27%]). In conclusión AP is a disease in which there is no evidence that the lesions are potentially cancerous. AP cheilitis should not be confused with actinic cheilitis because they are separate entities.

Acute prurigo simplex in humans caused by pigeon lice

Abstract: Pigeon lice are insects that feed on feathers of these birds; their life cycle includes egg, nymph and adult and they may cause dermatoses in humans. Four persons of the same family, living in an urban area, presented with widespread intensely pruritic erythematous papules. A great number of lice were seen in their house, which moved from a nest of pigeons located on the condenser of the air-conditioning to the dormitory of one of the patients. Even in urban environments, dermatitis caused by parasites of birds is a possibility in cases of acute prurigo simplex. Pigeon lice are possible etiological agents of this kind of skin eruption, although they are often neglected, even by dermatologists.

Penfigoide buloso nodular tratado exitosamente con fototerapia UVB banda angosta / Pemphigoid nodularis successfully treated with narrow band UVB phototherapy

El Penfigoide nodular es una variante clínica poco frecuente de penfigoide buloso. Corresponde a una dermatosis ampollar subepidérmica, crónica, autoinmune, caracterizada por auto anticuerpos contra antígenos específicos de hemidesmosomas en la unión dermo-epidérmica. Su incidencia es desconocida. La etiopatogenia aún no es entendida del todo. Se presenta clínicamente como una superposición de características de pénfigo buloso y prurigo nodular. El diagnóstico se basa en hallazgos clínicos e inmunopatológicos. La histopatología con inmunofluorescencia directa es el gold standard para el diagnóstico. El manejo es difícil, tiene mala respuesta a corticoides potentes locales, siendo necesario el uso de corticoides sistémicos y diferentes inmunosupresores solos o combinados junto a antihistamínicos para el manejo de prurito intenso. Se presenta un caso de pénfigo nodular, donde destaca su buena respuesta a terapia combinada con metotrexato y luz UVB de banda angosta.

Pemphigoid Nodularis is a rare clinical variant of bullous pemphigoid. It is considered an autoimmune, chronic, subepidermal blistering dermatosis, characterized by antibodies against hemidesmosome-specific antigens at the dermo-epidermal junction. Its incidence is unknown and its etiopathogenetic not fully understood. Clinically, it presents with overlapping features of bullous pemphigoid and prurigo nodularis. The diagnosis is based on clinical and immunopathological findings, being the histopathological study with immunofluorescence the gold standard. The management is difficult; since it has a poor response to local potent corticosteroids, requiring the use of systemic corticosteroids and different immunosuppressants alone or combined with antihistamines for the intense pruritus. We present a case of nodularis pemphigoid, highlighting the good response to the combination of methotrexate and phototherapy with narrow band UVB.
