Highlights from the ADVENT educational symposium at EADV 2024 discussing the current understanding of the science and treatment landscape in bullous pemphigoid (BP).
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 Donna Culton walks through the pathophysiology of type 2 inflammation in inflammatory skin diseases, using bullous pemphigoid as an example. Drs Eichenfield, Elmariah, and Hawkes join to discuss the role of type 2 inflammation across atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, and chronic spontaneous urticaria, respectively.
