Background
Hypereosinophilic dermatitis (HED) is a subtype of hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). Glucocorticoids are preferred for treatment but carry substantial side effect profiles. Symptoms of HED may recur after systemic glucocorticoid tapering. As an interleukin-4 receptor (IL-4Rα) monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13), dupilumab might be an efficacious adjuvant therapy for HED.
Method
We report a young male diagnosed with HED who suffered from erythematous papules with pruritus for over five years. Once reducing the dosage of glucocorticoid was, his skin lesions relapsed.
Results
After using dupilumab, the patient’s condition significantly improved with the glucocorticoid dosing decreased successfully.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we report a new application of dupilumab in HED patients, especially with difficulties in reducing the glucocorticoid dose.

嗜酸性粒细胞增多性皮炎患者应用dupilumab完全康复一例
背景
嗜酸性粒细胞增多性皮炎 (HED) 是嗜酸性粒细胞增多综合征 (HES) 的一种亚型。糖皮质激素是治疗的首选,但具有显着的副作用特征。在全身性糖皮质激素逐渐减量后,HED 的症状可能会复发。作为靶向白细胞介素 4 (IL-4) 和白细胞介素 13 (IL-13) 的白细胞介素 4 受体 (IL-4Rα) 单克隆抗体,dupilumab 可能是 HED 的有效辅助疗法。
方法
我们报告了一名被诊断患有 HED 的年轻男性,他患有伴有瘙痒的红斑丘疹超过五年。一旦糖皮质激素减量,皮损又复发。
结果
使用dupilumab后,患者病情明显好转,糖皮质激素剂量成功减量。
结论
总之,我们报告了 dupilumab 在 HED 患者中的新应用,尤其是在减少糖皮质激素剂量方面存在困难。
