Abstract

PROBLEM: atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common pediatric dermatologic condition. Considered a chronic inflammatory disease, characterized by intense pruritus, its treatment requires the use of active therapy to control outbreaks and prophylactic therapy to maintain the integrity of the skin barrier. OBJECTIVE: describe the therapeutic approach to atopic dermatitis in pediatrics and the use of dupilumab in the management of moderate to severe AD. METHOD: bibliographies from the last 5 years are reviewed, mainly from UpToDate, PubMed and Elsevier. RESULTS: AD normally affects 10-30% of the pediatric population, with onset within the first 6 months of life, it’s a complex disorder that can seriously affect a child's life quality, unless it’s treaten in an optimal and timely manner. CONCLUSION: the therapeutic options for mild AD are emollients and low-potency topical corticosteroids (TCS) such as 2.5% hydrocortisone. On the face or folds, topical tacrolimus or pimecrolimus can be used. In moderate to severe AD use medium to high potency TCS such as betamethasone 0.05%, phototherapy and systemic drugs such as cyclosporine or methotrexate, however, in these patients you can use dupilumab, a recombinant IgG4 monoclonal scaffold approved by the Food and Drug Association (FDA) for it’s use in children with age over six months old who do not respond to conventional therapies.
