Changes in nerve density and dysfunction of the neuroimmune axis drive pruritus in prurigo nodularis – Highlight from the ADVENT symposium at AAD 2023.
In this ADVENT symposium at the 2023 AAD annual meeting, “Prurigo Nodularis and Atopic Dermatitis: Distinct Diseases With Shared and Unique Roles for Type 2 Inflammation”, Sarina Elmariah, MD, PhD, MPH (University of California San Francisco), Brian Kim, MD, MTR (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai), and Shawn Kwatra, MD (Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine), reviewed the clinical presentation and disease burden of prurigo nodularis (PN) and atopic dermatitis (AD), and the role that type 2 inflammation plays in the development of these two chronic pruritic diseases.
