In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr Brian Kim discuss the burdensome itch in prurigo nodularis, the multifactorial etiology of the disease, and the multiple pathological factors that contribute to chronic itch and skin inflammation in PN.
Professor Sarina Elmariah highlights the multifaceted role of IL-4 and IL-13 in driving dermal fibrosis in prurigo nodularis, which leads to persistent scarring and dyspigmentation that significantly contribute to patients' embarrassment, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem.
Professor Matthias Augustin emphaizes that prurigo nodularis is a chronic systemic disease with a significant and multifaceted burden, encompassing both visible skin manifestations and hidden psychosocial and physical comorbidities.
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.

Dr. Sonja Ständer and Dr. Shawn Kwatra discuss the unique features of prurigo nodularis (PN) as well as the characteristics that are shared with atopic dermatitis, and aim to raise awareness of PN among both physicians and patients.

Welcome to the PN learning hub focused on key scientific education on bullous pemphigoid, featuring ADVENT resources.
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.
Explore the clinical features, complex burden, and underlying mechanisms of PN.

Join Dr. Shawn Kwatra in discussing the diverse clinical presentations of PN and the role of type 2 inflammation in disease pathogenesis.
Professor Matthias Augustin details the various clinical manifestations of prurigo nodularis, illustrating how different lesion types can present concurrently in patients.

Two educational symposia at San Diego, 2024, explore the role of type 2 inflammation and the related manifestations in atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, and chronic spontaneous urticaria.

Dr. Palomares discusses how type 2 inflammation, an aberrant immune response, underlies skin diseases like atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, and chronic spontaneous urticaria, linking to their clinical symptoms.
