Objectives: Polypharmacy, drug-drug interactions (DDI) and related adverse drug reaction (ADR) are understudied in SSc. The aim of this work was to determine the prevalence and determinants of DDI and ADR in a real-life prospective cohort of SSc patients.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of the drug prescriptions of SSc patients admitted to the daily scleroderma clinic between January 2020 and April 2022.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients with X linked agammaglobulinemia and those receiving anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) are at increased risk for severe enterovirus (EV) infections, particularly meningoencephalitis.
  • A study collected data from nine original cases and 17 previously published cases, revealing a high occurrence of meningoencephalitis (81%) and a mortality rate of 27% among affected patients treated with multiple anti-CD20 mAbs.
  • The findings suggest that clinicians should consider EV infections in IMID patients presenting unusual symptoms and recognize that anti-CD20 mAbs can impair B-cell responses to EV infections, potentially indicating

Objectives: To clarify the impact of anti-U1RNP antibodies on the clinical features and prognosis of patients with SSc.

Methods: We conducted a monocentric case-control, retrospective, longitudinal study. For each patient with SSc and anti-U1RNP antibodies (SSc-RNP), one patient with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and 2 SSc patients without anti-U1RNP antibodies (SSc-RNP) were matched for age, sex, and date of inclusion.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to better characterize the features and outcomes of a large population of patients with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD).

Methods: We performed an observational retrospective multicenter cohort study in France. Patients who fulfilled at least one diagnostic criterion set for MCTD and none of the criteria for other differentiated CTD (dCTD) were included.
