Here we report on two cases of anaphylactic reaction following infliximab infusion in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Both individuals had received infliximab treatment during a clinical trial approximately 2 years prior to further therapy; subsequent infusion of this agent led to anaphylactic reactions in both cases. In light of these findings, we recommend that future treatments with infliximab in RA patients who have previously received this agent should be carefully monitored.

Introduction: Echinococcus is a common infection in an endemic country like Bhutan. Mediastinal echinococcosis is rare. Although presentation due to a mediastinal echinococcal cyst is variable according to the cyst's location, a reaction due to rupture of the cyst and simultaneous reaction to an administration of antibiotics such as ceftriaxone can cause a diagnostic challenge.

Background: Donor acquired allergy (DAA) occurs when donors transfer their allergies to recipients through solid organ transplant (SOT). However, the risk of DAA in recipients of organs from allergic donors has not been systematically characterized.
Objective: We sought to synthesize the available evidence on the risk of DAA in SOT recipients.

Allergic diseases commonly coexist, manifesting in a sequence described as the "allergic march". This study aimed to evaluate TSLP's and IL-1β's potential as biomarkers in both single and multi-pediatric atopic diseases like atopic eczema, food allergy, and anaphylaxis and analyze specific SNPs in the TSLP and IL-1β genes to determine their associations with their occurrence and severity. This analysis included 109 atopic children diagnosed with atopic dermatitis, food allergy, or anaphylaxis alongside a control group of 57 non-atopic children.
