Abstract:
Introduction: Atopic dermatitis, is a long-lasting inflammatory skin condition noted by itchy, red and scaly skin lesions usually occurring on the flexible areas of the body. The prevalence reported ranged from 3.1% to 7.21% in the paediatric population up to 16 years age. In India, the overall prevalence rate was 4.4%, though overall it was 14.2%. Patients with Atopic Dermatitis exhibit a greater prevalence of Anti-Nucleated Antibodies.
Aim and Objectives: To show the evidence-based case report of Atopic Dermatitis with Anti-nucleated Antibodies positive.
To study the effectiveness of homoeopathic medicine in atopic dermatitis with anti-nucleated antibodies with an evidence-based case report.
Methodology: A single case report of atopic dermatitis with anti-nuclear antibody positivity. A 9-year-old female child has been present with blackish-brown discoloration and itching on her posterior surface of both knee joints, anterior surface of both elbow joints, and lips for 6 months. Also, a patient was reported to have anti-nucleated antibodies. After case-taking and repertorization Graphites 0/1 was administered. It was prescribed in LM potency along with advice on diet and regimen. Within a duration of 12 months, the patient was completely cured of her sufferings, and she was treated with individualised homeopathic medicine between August 15 2022 to August 18 2023. During the follow-up visits, treatment outcomes, were assessed and in the meantime, anti-nucleated antibodies became negative.
Results: This study found that the homoeopathic medicine Graphites 0/1 was effective in the treatment of Atopic dermatitis with Anti-nuclear Antibody for a duration of 12 months.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that individualized homoeopathic medicine is effective in treating Atopic Dermatitis with Anti-Nucleated Antibodies. Today, the prevalence of Atopic Dermatitis with Anti-Nucleated Antibodies is higher among Children and adults. Further inherited diseases have been reduced.
