Abstract
We report a 6-year-old boy with severe atopic dermatitis and refractory pruritus. The novel use of clonidine, an adrenergic agonist, along with trimeprazine, led to dramatic improvement. This represents the first case report of clonidine's effect in relieving pruritus in atopic dermatitis.Entities:
