Effectiveness of Cyclosporine in Parthenium Dermatitis: A Prospective Study to Evaluate Treatment Outcomes and Inflammatory Cytokine Levels

Key Points

• The central aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of cyclosporine in treating parthenium dermatitis and its impact on inflammatory cytokine levels.
• Conducted a prospective study design
• Evaluated treatment outcomes of cyclosporine therapy
• Measured inflammatory cytokine levels including IL-6
• Cyclosporine showed effectiveness as a short-term treatment for parthenium dermatitis
• Frequent relapse occurs after abrupt withdrawal of cyclosporine
• Reduction in IL-6 levels was observed, implicating its role in disease response
