Abstract: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that significantly impairs the quality of life. Recently, novel biologics and small-molecule oral drugs have gained approval for the treatment of AD. Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors play a therapeutic role in atopic dermatitis by inhibiting various Th2 cell-mediated inflammation, impaired epidermal barrier function, and pruritus signaling pathways. This article reports two cases of pediatric patients with refractory atopic dermatitis successfully treated with JAK inhibitors.
