“…Previously reported side-effects of efalizumab in patients with atopic dermatitis were viral infection, rebound phenomenon, Staphylococcus aureus infections and thrombocytopenia. 9,11 In our material, disease severity progressed in 5 patients, and in one case, the progression was severe, which led to drug discontinuation and supplementary therapy with systemic steroids and cyclosporin. Impetigo occurred in 6 of the 11 cases (1, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 11) and was treated with dicloxacillin, within a mean period of 5 weeks after initialization of efalizumab (range, 2-10 weeks), and one patient (case 5) was treated with topical fucidic acid after 12 weeks of efalizumab therapy.…”

“…Sendo a DA uma dermatose inflamatória com uma base imunológica complexa, parecia provável que pudesse ser adequadamente tratada com recurso às novas terapêuticas biológicas 61 . De entre estas, existem na literatura, desde 2006, relatos de alguns casos de sucesso tratados com efalizumab [62][63][64][65] . No entanto, quando foram efectuados estudos envolvendo um maior número de doentes, os resultados não foram tão encorajadores.…”

“…Two of them had abortions (one was spontaneous and one was induced), and the third one had an ongoing pregnancy by the time of publication (16). Siegfried reported one case of acute autoimmune thrombocytopenia developing in a child after 2 years of efalizumab therapy for atopic dermatitis (AD) (17). There is a potential risk of permanent humoral immunosuppression with administration of efalizumab in the pediatric population, based on animal studies (14).…”
