A Case of Papuloerythroderma Successfully Treated with Dupilumab

Papuloerythroderma is an erythroderma characterized by the composition of dense paving stone shape papules and intertriginous uninvolved skin on the abdominal wall and is often intractable and accompanied by itching. Topical or oral corticosteroids are treatment measures, but immunosuppressive drugs are sometimes required. Herein, we report a case of papuloerythroderma treated with dupilumab, a completely humanized immunoglobulin monoclonal antibody against interleukin-4 receptor subunit α (IL-4Rα) of IL-4 and IL-13 receptors, with rapid and marked improvement. Dupilumab is one of the treatment options to treat refractory papuloerythroderma.
