| Resumo: | We present the case of a 25 year old Caucasian man with atopic dermatitis since the age of 7 that increased severity after 18 years old. He was medicated with anti-histamines, topical steroids, cycles of high dosage systemic corticotherapy and ultraviolet A phototherapy combined with psoralen (PUVA), without significant improvement and recurrent worsening each time there was a attempt to tapper oral corticotherapy dosage. Several therapy adjustments were made without success before intravenous immunoglobulin G therapy. We present the clinical evolution of this patient under intravenous immunoglobulin G therapy and discuss this therapy’s role in the treatment of atopic dermatitis. |
