The Impact

Background and objectives: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a disease with a complex pathophysiology involving immune-mediated reactions that lead to skin lesions that are typically localized and recurrent. Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic, attempting to assess the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on diseases caused by complex immune mechanisms has become important. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the course of AD, including immunosuppressive therapy, in patients with a severe form of the disease. Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis of 21 adults aged 18 to 52 years with AD diagnosed with COVID-19, including patients requiring hospitalization, was performed. Results: During SARS-CoV-2 infection, temporary exacerbation of skin lesions and/or skin pruritus was observed in nine (43%) patients but without the need for systemic treatment intervention. Patients with severe AD who received immunosuppressive therapy most often manifested mild exacerbation of skin symptoms. The skin condition improved in three patients. There was no significant effect of disease severity on the risk of severe COVID-19 (HR = 0.45; 95% CI: 0.32–0.65). Conclusions: The course of atopic dermatitis during SARS-CoV-2 infection may be different from the severity of its symptoms due to the lack of a significant influence. The immunosuppressive treatment used in patients with severe AD did not significantly affect the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
