Treg in inborn errors of immunity: gaps, knowns and future perspectives.

Regulatory T cells (Treg) are essential for immune balance, preventing overreactive responses and autoimmunity. Although traditionally characterized as CD4+CD25+CD127FoxP3, recent research has revealed diverse Treg subsets such as Tr1, Tr1-like, and CD8 Treg. Treg dysfunction leads to severe autoimmune diseases and immune-mediated inflammatory disorders.

Navigating the transition of care in patients with inborn errors of immunity: a single-center's descriptive experience.

The transition from pediatric to adult care is a critical milestone in managing children, especially in those with complex chronic conditions. It involves ensuring the patient and family adapt correctly to the new phase, maintaining continuity of ongoing treatments, and establishing an appropriate follow-up plan with specialists. Patients with Inborn error of immunity (IEI), formerly known as Primary Immune Disorders (PID) are part of a group of disorders characterized by alterations in the proper functioning of the immune system; as the diagnostic and treatment tools for these entities progress, life expectancy increases, and new needs emerge.

Clinical Approach to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: A Practical Overview.

The diagnosis of mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) is defined by 3 criteria: (1) typical clinical signs and symptoms of acute, recurrent (episodic), and systemic mast cell activation (MCA); (2) increase in tryptase level to >20% + 2 ng/mL within 1-4 hours after onset of the acute crisis; and (3) response of MCA symptoms to antimediator therapy. Classification of MCAS requires highly sensitive and specific methodological approaches for the assessment of clonal bone marrow mast cells at low frequencies. The Spanish Network on Mastocytosis score has been used successfully as a predictive model for selecting MCAS candidates for bone marrow studies based on a high probability of an underlying clonal mast cell disorder.
