New medications targeting the Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway have been developed through emerging biologics research. However, due to documented adverse effects, including herpes zoster (HZ) and venous thromboembolism (VTE), an extensive patient workup and counseling are necessary before prescribing. We present the case of an 81-year-old patient with severe atopic dermatitis on upadacitinib, a selective JAK1 inhibitor, who developed HZ and VTE, requiring hospitalization. This study emphasizes the need for further research, continuous monitoring, and risk management for HZ and VTE in patients undergoing upadacitinib treatment, especially in high-risk populations.
通过新兴的生物制品研究,已经开发出了针对Janus激酶(JAK)-信号转导子和转录激活子(STAT)通路的新型药物。然而,由于已记录的不良反应,包括带状疱疹(HZ)和静脉血栓栓塞(VTE),在开处方前需要对患者进行全面检查和咨询。我们报告了一例81岁患有重度特应性皮炎的患者,使用选择性JAK1抑制剂乌帕替尼治疗后发生了HZ和VTE,需要住院治疗。本研究强调了对接受乌帕替尼治疗的患者,尤其是高危人群,进行HZ和VTE进一步研究、持续监测和风险管理的必要性。
