摘要
斑秃(AA)严重影响儿童的心理健康和生活质量。虽然目前的治疗方法通常疗效有限,但在有反应的病例中会出现明显缓解。最近在了解 AA 发病机制方面取得的进展为 Janus 激酶(JAK)抑制剂作为潜在治疗方法带来了希望。然而,有关这一前景广阔的途径的研究仍然有限。我们对使用托法替尼治疗脱发的儿科患者进行了回顾性评估,结果显示患者的病情明显好转,尤其是在治疗12个月后,只有一名患者出现了上呼吸道感染的副作用。尽管如此,我们这项研究的回顾性设计和小规模患者群凸显了其局限性。更大规模的随机研究对于全面探索JAK抑制剂在儿科AA治疗中的疗效和潜力至关重要。
Systemic Tofacitinib Treatment in Pediatric Patients with Resistant Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata (AA) significantly impacts mental health and quality of life in children. While current treatments often offer limited efficacy, noticeable remission occurs in responsive cases. Recent advancements in understanding AA’s pathogenesis have sparked hope for Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors as potential treatments. However, studies on this promising avenue remain limited. Our retrospective evaluation of pediatric patients treated with systemic tofacitinib for alopecia showed significant improvements, notably at the 12-month mark, with only one patient experiencing an upper respiratory infection as a side effect. Nevertheless, our study’s retrospective design and small patient cohort highlight limitations. Larger randomized studies are crucial to comprehensively explore the efficacy and potential of JAK inhibitors in pediatric AA treatment.
期刊介绍:
Dermatologic Therapy has been created to fill an important void in the dermatologic literature: the lack of a readily available source of up-to-date information on the treatment of specific cutaneous diseases and the practical application of specific treatment modalities. Each issue of the journal consists of a series of scholarly review articles written by leaders in dermatology in which they describe, in very specific terms, how they treat particular cutaneous diseases and how they use specific therapeutic agents. The information contained in each issue is so practical and detailed that the reader should be able to directly apply various treatment approaches to daily clinical situations. Because of the specific and practical nature of this publication, Dermatologic Therapy not only serves as a readily available resource for the day-to-day treatment of patients, but also as an evolving therapeutic textbook for the treatment of dermatologic diseases.
