Chronic pruritus in atopic dermatitis is known to be driven by type 2 cytokines, including IL-4 and IL-13, and dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody inhibiting IL-4 and IL-13 signalling, has been shown to be effective in the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis as well as other type 2-driven pruritic dermatological conditions. Here, IL4 is linked to atopic eczema.
