ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To describe a case of bilateral conjunctivitis and cicatricial ectropion associated with dupilumab therapy for atopic dermatitis. OBSERVATIONS Severe hyperemia of the conjunctiva and eyelid margins, as well as cicatricial ectropion, began two months after starting weekly dupilumab injections for atopic dermatitis. The findings worsened over the next several months and improved after discontinuing dupilumab. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE Dupilumab is a promising intervention in the management of atopic dermatitis and asthma, however, little is known about its potential ocular adverse effects. We report the first case of dupilumab-associated ocular inflammation leading to cicatricial ectropion.
