Erythema annulare centrifugum (EAC) is a type of figurate erythema with an unclear etiology, often thought to be a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to various antigens. While many cases resolve spontaneously, chronic and refractory presentations can be challenging to manage. We report a case of EAC unresponsive to traditional treatments but demonstrating rapid improvement with upadacitinib, a selective Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. This case highlights a novel use for JAK inhibitors in treating EAC.
离心性环状红斑(EAC)是一种病因不明的环状红斑,通常被认为是对各种抗原的迟发型超敏反应。虽然许多病例可自发缓解,但慢性和难治性病例的治疗可能具有挑战性。我们报告了一例对传统治疗无反应,但使用选择性 Janus 激酶(JAK)抑制剂乌帕替尼后迅速改善的 EAC 病例。该病例突出了 JAK 抑制剂在治疗 EAC 中的新用途。
