Abstract: 【Abstract】 Immune-mediated skin diseases refer to a group of disorders driven by immune dysfunction, leading to skin damage with or without involvement of other tissues or organs. They mainly include atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, alopecia areata, lupus erythematosus, Sj?gren's syndrome, etc. These diseases are characterized by complex pathogenesis, diverse clinical manifestations, and challenging treatment. Recent studies have increasingly confirmed that alterations in the composition and function of the gut microbiota are present in various immune-mediated skin diseases. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) may restore the patients′ gut microenvironment and systemic immune balance by transplanting the gut microbiota from healthy donors into the patients′ gastrointestinal tract, and has become an important method for the treatment of immune-mediated skin diseases, but currently there is a lack of standardized guidelines on its clinical application. Therefore, based on the latest research advancements worldwide and evidence-based medical studies, the “guidelines for fecal microbiota transplantation in the treatment of immune-mediated skin diseases (2025 edition)” has been formulated. This guideline addresses specific issues faced by dermatologists in China regarding the clinical application of FMT, and provides scientific and detailed evidence-based recommendations, aiming to promote the standardization of FMT therapy.
