Shawn Kwatra

Learning objectives

  • Identify the shared and unique characteristics of AD, PN, and CSU, including epidemiology, signs and symptoms, and comorbidities
  • Discuss how type 2 inflammation contributes to the clinical presentation of AD, PN, and CSU
  • Describe the role of type 2 inflammation in neuroimmune dysregulation and itch in AD, PN, and CSU

Description
