Conclusion: This work provides clinically relevant information on adults with AD treated with tralokinumab who were diagnosed with COVID-19 or received SARS-CoV-2 vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic. New SARS-CoV-2 variants, evolving vaccination guidelines, and COVID-19 treatments may affect decision-making in the future.
Eczema and related atopic diseases are associated with increased symptom severity in children with autism spectrum disorder - Translational Psychiatry

Growing evidence indicates that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has diverse genetic, neurological, and environmental factors that contribute to its neurodevelopmental course. Interestingly, childhood ASD is often accompanied by skin disorders,...
Atopic children were 2.4 times more likely to experience overall impairments classified within the ADOS-2 highest-level severity bracket and 2.7 times more likely to show social difficulties in this range. Moreover, those reporting comorbid eczema displayed increased symptom severity relative to both their non-atopic peers and those reporting...
