Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common, chronic, inflammatory skin disorder with high physical
and emotional burden. Robust evidence suggests that interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 are key
cytokines in the immunopathogenesis of AD. New emerging agents include dupilumab, a

severe AD. Dupilumab is approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe AD, moderate-to …
