Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) are associated with systemic inflammatory or autoimmune diseases in 10-20 % of cases. Among them, immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) has been reported but large studies assessing this association are missing. Whether such patients have a particular phenotype and require particular management is unclear.

- - The study analyzed patients with sarcoidosis who exhibited joint involvement, detailing 39 cases of sarcoid arthropathy, with 19 categorized as acute (Lofgren's syndrome) and the rest as chronic, highlighting no significant differences in overall joint involvement between the two groups.
- - Acute sarcoidosis presented more symmetrical joint involvement (100% vs. 70%) and involved wrists and ankles more frequently than chronic sarcoidosis, while skin lesions mainly appeared in acute forms, specifically as erythema nodosum.
- - Treatment for chronic sarcoidosis often included NSAIDs, steroids, hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, and TNF inhibitors, with a 70% response rate noted
Introduction: Our objective was to evaluate characteristics, treatment and outcome of vasculitis associated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and chronic myelomonicytic leukemia (CMML) PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective descriptive analysis of MDS/CMML-related vasculitis and comparison with MDS/CMML patients without dysimmune features.
Results: Seventy patients with vasculitis and MDS/CMML were included, with median age of 71.5 [21-90] years and male/female ratio of 2.

Purpose Of The Study: Takayasu arteritis (TA) is an idiopathic large vessel vasculitis, which involves the aorta and its major branches. Our aim was to examine the association between TA and the development of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and its impact on survival.
Study Design: Using data from Clalit Health Services (CHS), the largest Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) in Israel, the proportion of IHD was compared between patients diagnosed with TA and age- and gender-matched controls.
Introduction: Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN) can be associated with giant cell arteritis (GCA). In this nationwide study by the "French Network of dysimmune disorders associated with hemopathies" (MINHEMON) the objective was to evaluate characteristics, treatment and outcome of GCA MDS-MDS/MPN.
Patients And Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients that presented a MDS or MDS/MPN associated with GCA.
