Abstract
Herein we review the current literature on the adverse effects related to biological therapy with the monoclonal antibody dupilumab in patients with type 2 inflammation prevalent phenotype chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Our review shows that the side effects of dupilumab may be linked to the prevalent type 2 inflammation phenotype (asthma, dermatitis, CRSwNP). We also report the first case of cutaneous rash as a side effect of dupilumab in a patient with CRSwNP
