Professor Matthias Augustin highlights the high prevalence of both atopic and non-atopic comorbidities in patients with PN, including increased risks of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.

Welcome to the AD learning hub focused on key scientific education on atopic dermatitis, featuring ADVENT resources.
Professors Matthias Augustin and Sarina Elmariah evaluate how targeted therapies transform the management of prurigo nodularis, addressing the itch-scratch cycle and broader manifestations such as lesions.
In this episode, Dr. Sarina Elmariah and Dr. Brian Kim explore prurigo nodularis (PN), with a focus on severe itch, fibrotic skin lesions, and their impact on patients’ quality of life. They discuss PN epidemiology, common comorbidities, and the challenges of managing multimorbid patients, while breaking down the neuroimmune mechanisms, highlighting the role of type 2 cytokines in itch and lesion development.
