The treatment efficacy of dupilumab in autosomal dominant hyper-immunoglobulin E syndrome with severe atopic dermatitis

Copyright © 2023. Asia Pacific Association of Allergy, Asthma and Clinical Immunology..

Hyper-immunoglobulin E syndrome (HIES) is a primary immunodeficiency disease characterized by atopic dermatitis, recurrent skin and lung infections, and significantly elevated serum immunoglobulin E levels. Autosomal dominant and loss-of-function pathogenic variants in the STAT3 gene are the most common causes of the disease and studies have shown that the presence of IL-4 receptor (IL-4R) is upregulated in patients with dominant-negative mutations in the STAT3 gene expression. Dupilumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets the IL-4α receptor and improves the symptoms of atopic dermatitis by inhibiting IL-4 and IL-13. We used dupilumab to treat severe dermatitis in a patient with STAT3-HIES and achieved satisfactory results.
