ADVENT at EAPS 2024
The ADVENT program will present a symposium to discuss diagnosis, pathophysiology, comorbidities of atopic dermatitis in children, as well as emerging treatment options for management of atopic dermatitis (AD) in children, who are candidates for systemic therapy at the 2024 European Academy of Paediatric Societies (EAPS) Congress.
How Biologic Therapy May Lead to Disease Modification in Infants and Children with Atopic Dermatitis
The underlying pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis (AD) is driven by dysregulation of type 2 immunity that contributes to skin barrier dysfunction. AD typically develops very early in life and children with AD often develop other atopic conditions such as food allergy, asthma, and allergic rhinitis in a progression called the atopic march. Early treatment may help reduce the atopic march and other comorbidities to lessen the lifetime burden created by these diseases. There may even be a window of opportunity for disease modification.
