Disease-Specific Aspects of Itch in AD, PN, and CSU

Examination of the unique ways type 2 inflammation contributes to itch in AD, PN, and CSU.

Brian Kim
MD
Brian Kim

Learning objectives

  • Explore disease-specific combinations of type 2 inflammatory mediators that may underlie disease-specific itch in AD, PN, and CSU

Description

Dr. Kim explaines the different clinical course of itch in AD, PN, and CSU. He discusses the importance of epidermal barrier dysfunction in contributing to itch in atopic dermatitis, reviews the role of neurogenic inflammation and neural dysfunction in prurigo nodularis itch, and explores the central role of mast cells in CSU and associated histaminergic and nonhistaminergic itch.
