Dear Dr. Choy,

Re: Rowan SCOTT - DOB: 19.3.1997 - MRN 115 39 15

I had the pleasure of reviewing Rowan with Assoc/Professor Lowe for follow up on Rinvoq 30mg once daily
for atopic dermatitis since 18/8/2022, with dose increased 1/3/2023.

Rowan is compliant with Rinvoq 30mg daily. He was on Keflex QID for several weeks and stopped this four
days ago.

His current topicals include:-


· Epaderm ointment twice daily
· Diprosone ointment to the body with one tube lasting four days now
· Advantan fatty ointment to the face which he is using sparingly
· Dermeze moisturising soap free wash
· Laundry detergent – he isn’t sure of the exact name but some kind of environmentally friendly baby
detergent

Rowan remains on Valtrex 1g BD for recurrent HSV keratitis for which he sees Ophthalmology at RPAH.

His most recent monitoring bloods on the 3/3/2023 showed a CK 170.

On examination he had generalised xerosis and lichenification. There was ongoing eczema particularly in the
flexural areas. He had crusted vesicles below the right eye which we have swabbed today for bacterial
culture and viral PCR. We have also swabbed an eroded area on the left retroauricular region. He had a
patchy scaly erythematous rash on the anterior chest suspicious for granular parakeratosis. He also had a
curvy linear hypertrophic scar on the right back which we think is secondary to excoriation.

Overall Rowan’s eczema has improved over the last few weeks though remains quite severe to the face with
concern for secondary viral / bacterial infection. Given a possible element of granular parakeratosis also –
we suggest he switches laundry detergents.

Skin swabs taken today:

1. Below right eye


- HSV 1 positive, VZV negative
- 3+ S.aureus, 3+ S.dysgalactiae

2. Left retroauricular
- HSV 1 positive, VZV negative

I have discussed the swab results with Prof Lowe. We have asked Rowan to do a basic immunodeficiency
screen including IgG/A/M, IgG subclass, IgE, C3/C4, T and B cell subsets. These remain outstanding.

I have discussed the swab results with the infectious disease registrar, who has suggested flucloxacillin 1g
QID for 7 days, then a prolonged / tapering course as we have previously done with Keflex. He should also
remain on Valtrex 1g BD.

I have liaised with the Ophthalmology registrar who has kindly booked Rowan in for review again, noting he
has missed his recent appointment. Rowan's last attended appointment was on 17/05/23, at which point the
plan was to increase Valtrex 1g BD to TDS for HSV keratitis.

Plan: 1. Continue Rinvoq 30mg daily.


2. Continue general skin care measures and topicals including optimising emollients
especially to the face.
3. Continue topical steroids to the flexures and face.
4. Change laundry detergent to Omo Sensitive which all household members should
use. In particular there should be no use of drum cleaners.
5. We wonder whether there was an irritant component from his glasses given the
facial accentuation, we have suggested avoiding using cleansing
wipes on his glasses.
6. Surveillance of the hypertrophic scar on the right back.
7. Immunodeficiency screening bloods as above.
8. Antimicrobials as above.
9. Follow up end of October for script renewal.

With kind regards,
