Persistent systemic inflammation is associated with an elevated risk of cardiometabolic diseases. However, the characteristics of the innate and adaptive immune systems in individuals who develop these conditions remain poorly defined. Doublets, or cell-cell complexes, are routinely eliminated from flow cytometric and other immune phenotyping analyses, which limits our understanding of their relationship to disease states.

The immunopathogenesis and predisposing factors of AGEP are not well characterized.
Objective: To better understand the genetic risk factors and single-cell immunopathogenesis of AGEP, we longitudinally characterized a patient with recurrent AGEP after an initial episode triggered by vancomycin.
