June 2026 in “Case Reports in Dermatology” This case report discusses a 67-year-old woman with Netherton syndrome, a genetic disorder causing skin inflammation and hair defects like Trichorrhexis invaginata. The patient was treated with dupilumab, which is typically used for skin inflammation. After 3 months, there was significant improvement in skin symptoms and hair condition, with brittle "bamboo" hairs being replaced by normal hair shafts. This suggests that dupilumab may not only help with skin issues but also promote hair growth in Netherton syndrome, highlighting a novel therapeutic approach for addressing hair shaft abnormalities linked to inflammatory responses.

This case report discusses a 67-year-old woman with Netherton syndrome (NS), a genetic disorder characterized by skin inflammation and hair defects, specifically Trichorrhexis invaginata (TI). The patient was treated with dupilumab, a biologic known for addressing cutaneous inflammation. After 3 months, the patient experienced significant improvements in skin rash, pruritus, and quality of life. Notably, the treatment led to the normalization of hair shafts and promoted hair growth, resolving the "bamboo" hair characteristic of TI. This case highlights dupilumab's potential in addressing hair abnormalities associated with NS, an area not extensively covered in current literature.
