Background. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin diseases affecting both children and adults. Its effect on the patient largely correlates with the severity of the disease. Despite this, there is currently a high level of dissatisfaction with effective and safe systemic therapy. The immunological complexity of the pathogenesis of AD makes the suppression of Janus kinases a promising approach to treatment.
Description of the clinical case. This case report describes the successful use of upadacitinib, a selective oral Janus kinase 1 inhibitor, in a patient with severe AD. The drug demonstrated a rapid clinical response, good tolerance and ease of use. Our experience has confirmed that upadacitinib is an effective and safe treatment option for refractory forms of AD.
