The effect of dupilumab in an HBV-HIV coinfected atopic patient: a case report
No full textAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease typical of childhood that can also affect adults. AD is clinically characterized by intensely pruritic eczematous lesions. The burden of this disease and its impact on quality of life are often substantial. Dupilumab is a fully humanized monoclonal antibody against interleukin 4 (IL-4) receptor α, capable of blocking IL-4 and IL-13 signaling. This novel therapy represents the first biologic approved for the treatment of moderate to severe AD. Our report describes the case of a 39-year-old adult patient affected by severe chronic AD with associated allergic and viral comorbidities for whom conventional systemic therapies proved ineffective or contraindicated. The main source of interest in this case is hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection because, to our knowledge, this is the first case of
an adult atopic patient treated with dupilumab in the simultaneous presence of these comorbidities. Regarding coinfections, the patient was on antiretroviral therapy for HBV and HIV before starting dupilumab. Efficacy and safety data after 24 weeks of therapy
are reported in detail
Homonoia - Concorda - Sammanasya
No full textAnalysis of the divine figures of Homónoia in the Greek pantheon, Concordia in the Roman pantheon, and Sammanasya in the Vedic pantheon. Claudia Santi is the author of Homónoia; Andrzej Gillmeister is the author of Concordia; Antonio Salvati is the author of Sammanasya. As regards Homónoia, the origin of this personified abstraction seems to be traced back to the political debate of Athens in the last 5th century. Maybe it was created by Antiphon as opposed to stásis, both in the meaning of ‘psychic conflict’ and ‘internal political dissensions, civil war’

Systemic Antibiotic Therapy in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Review on Treatment Landscape and Current Issues
No full textHidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, recurrent, and inflammatory skin disease characterized by painful, deep-seated, nodules, abscesses, and sinus tracts in sensitive areas of the body, including axillary, inguinal, and anogenital regions. Antibiotics represent the first-line pharmacological treatment of HS because of their anti-inflammatory properties and antimicrobial effects. This narrative review summarizes the most significant current issues on the role of systemic antibiotics in the management of HS, critically analyzing the main limits of their use (antibiotic resistance and toxicity). Although, in the last decades, several cytokines have been implicated in the pathomechanism of HS and the research on the use of novel biologic agents in HS has been intensified, antibiotics remain a valid therapeutic approach. Future challenges regarding antibiotic therapy in HS comprise their use in association with biologics in the management of acute flare or as a bridge therapy to surgery
