Background: Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE) is associated with unpredictable flares and may induce permanent damage. There is currently no biomarker routinely available in CLE.
Objective: To evaluate the performance of IFN-α biological activity as biomarker of CLE activity and risk of flare.
Purpose: Fever is frequent after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) decannulation. We aimed to evaluate the incidence of post-decannulation fever and describe its causes.
Methods: Adult ECMO patients who were successfully weaned from ECMO were retrospectively included.
Article Synopsis
- * A study examined 131 female patients with X-linked dominant incontinentia pigmenti (IP), finding that 36% produced autoantibodies against IFN-α and/or IFN-ω, significantly higher than age-matched controls.
- * The presence of these autoantibodies is linked to an abnormally small thymus and predisposes patients to life-threatening viral infections, while those without these autoantibodies do not face the same risk.
