Follow Janet, a hypothetical patient, as she navigates the difficult journey of bullous pemphigoid, starting with symptom onset to diagnosis.

This cross-TA plenary session addressed challenges in type 2 inflammation-driven diseases. Esteemed faculty, including Profs Klaus Rabe, Sharon Dell, Anju Peters, Milli Gupta, Eric Simpson, Stella Lee, and moderator Oscar Palomares, discussed strategies to enhance quality of life, reduce disease burden, and prioritize patient-centered care.
Professor Matthias Augustin details the various clinical manifestations of prurigo nodularis, illustrating how different lesion types can present concurrently in patients.
In this ADVENT symposium at the 2024 EADV meeting, Professor Joost Meijer highlights the heterogeneous nature of BP and the resultant burden for patients.
Dr. Lawrence Eichenfield shares the cumulative burdens faced by patients with atopic dermatitis.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Oscar Palomares highlights how patients with type 2 inflammatory diseases often experience multimorbidities, with overlapping symptoms that amplify their overall disease burden and impact quality of life.
This symposium delves into the pivotal role of type 2 inflammation in diverse skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, chronic spontaneous urticaria, and bullous pemphigoid. It highlights both shared and distinct disease mechanisms and patient burdens, providing crucial insights for optimizing clinical management strategies through a series of engaging panel discussions with Drs Eichenfield, Elmariah, Culton, and Hawkes.

Dr Jason Hawkes describes the importance of early intervention for patients with uncontrolled skin diseases and the effectiveness of evidence-based management strategies, sharing a patient case and his clinical insights with chronic spontaneous urticaria. Drs Eichenfield, Elmariah, and Culton join to review the burdens faced by patients with atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, and bullous pemphigoid, respectively.
Join experts Jonathan Spergel, MD, PhD, Wanda Phipatanakul, MD, MS, and Jerry Ellen Schonfeld, CPNP, at an educational symposium as they investigate the role of type 2 inflammation in pediatric diseases. The speakers will also discuss the difficulties in diagnosis and burdens patients and their families face.
Explore the clinical features, complex burden, and underlying mechanisms of PN.
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.
