Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (AD), once viewed as mutually exclusive diseases, are increasingly recognized to co-occur in complex inflammatory phenotypes. We present a 17-year-old male with multimorbid atopic conditions, including persistent atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and asthma, who developed new-onset psoriasis in the absence of previous biologic therapy. Initially misdiagnosed as exacerbated AD, he received ineffective treatment for one year. Treatment with secukinumab yielded limited improvement in psoriatic symptoms and eczematous lesions. AD and psoriasis significantly improved after adding dupilumab for 12 weeks; there were no documented side effects and a durable remission lasting 78 weeks. This case report underscores the importance of vigilance in patients with long-standing AD for newly emerging psoriasis and cautions against attributing all new rashes solely to chronic AD history. This case highlights the potential benefit of dual biologic therapy in managing concurrent type 2 inflammatory diseases and psoriasis, suggesting that a comprehensive immune-modulatory approach may be advantageous for patients with these coexisting conditions.
银屑病和特应性皮炎(AD),曾被视为相互排斥的疾病,如今越来越多地被认识到会在复杂的炎症表型中共存。我们报告一名17岁男性,患有多种特应性疾病,包括持续性特应性皮炎、过敏性鼻炎和哮喘,在未接受过生物治疗的情况下新发了银屑病。最初被误诊为AD加重,他接受了一年无效的治疗。使用司库奇尤单抗治疗后,银屑病症状和湿疹样皮损仅得到有限改善。添加度普利尤单抗治疗12周后,AD和银屑病均显著改善;未记录到副作用,且持续缓解长达78周。本病例报告强调了对长期患有AD的患者警惕新发银屑病的重要性,并提醒不要将所有新发皮疹都仅仅归因于慢性AD病史。本病例突出了双重生物治疗在管理并发2型炎症性疾病和银屑病方面的潜在益处,表明综合免疫调节方法可能对这些共存疾病的患者有利。
