Background: Juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (jSLE) is known to be more severe and with a higher frequency of renal and central nervous system impairment when compared to systemic lupus erythematosus in adults. The study of immunological characteristics of jSLE patients might help to envisage better treatment strategies to reduce the burden of the disease.
Objective: To characterize peripheral lymphocytes, assessing activation markers, and PD-1 expression on T cells; to evaluate in vitro cytokine expression upon stimulation in jSLE patients and age-matched controls.
Introduction: The response to vaccines in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients on and off anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agents remains highly discussed. There are no published studies on the immune response following a Tdap booster dose in JIA patients so far.
Objective: To evaluate the immune response and safety after a Tdap booster in JIA patients and in healthy adolescents.
Background: Reports on vaccine responses in immunocompromised patients, such as juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (jSLE), have shown highly variable results.
Objective: To compare the immune response and safety after a Tdap booster in 26 jSLE patients and 26 matched healthy adolescents. Adverse events and disease activity were evaluated.
Objectives: To assess the prevalence of images suggestive of calcified carotid artery atheromas (ISCCAA) in panoramic radiographs of patients under dental treatment.
Materials And Methods: The sample consisted of 8.338 panoramic radiographs from female (n=5.
