Background and objective Serum ferritin concentration and transferrin saturation are commonly employed to estimate body iron but are non-specific to iron overload. Glycosylated ferritin may be primarily elevated in cases of iron overload in patients undergoing regular blood transfusions. In this study, we aimed to estimate glycosylated ferritin and determine its cutoff values for iron overload in patients receiving blood transfusions regularly.

Background: Iron metabolism dysregulation may play a role in organ failure observed in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study aimed to explore the whole iron metabolism in hospitalized COVID-19 patients and evaluate the impact of tocilizumab.
Methods: We performed an observational multicentric cohort study, including patients with PCR-provenCOVID-19 from the intensive care unit (ICU) (n = 66) and medical ward (n = 38).

Objective: This study was performed to develop a new diagnostic algorithm for adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD).
Methods: We conducted a multicenter prospective nationwide case-control study in tertiary Internal Medicine, Rheumatology, and Infectious Diseases departments, to include successively patients with suspected AOSD based on the presence of two or more major criteria of Yamaguchi and/or Fautrel classifications. Patients were classified as AOSD or controls according to a predefined procedure.
