Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the clinical features of patients with cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) in Japan and assesses the effectiveness and safety of the IL-1 inhibitor canakinumab in treating these patients.
- Out of 101 patients analyzed, a significant majority achieved complete remission with canakinumab, but 23.7% did not respond, experiencing serious complications including deaths and organ damage.
- The research highlights the importance of early intervention and suggests that combining canakinumab with other therapies can be beneficial for those who don't adequately respond to canakinumab alone.
Background And Objective: Microbleeds on T2*-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) represent a hemorrhagic type of small vessel disease. Small vessel disease causes both intracerebral hemorrhages and lacunar infarctions. We studied clinical background and MRI findings of the patients to clarify the correlation between microbleeds and lacunes.
