Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has revolutionized the treatment of various hematological malignancies. Recently, CAR-T has been used in refractory auto-immune diseases with initial encouraging results. In this systematic review, we examined the safety and efficacy of CAR-T in patients with refractory auto-immune diseases.

Background And Aims: We assessed clinical, procoagulant and genetic risk factors and clinical outcomes in dabigatran-treated patients with non-tumoural acute and acute-on-chronic portal vein thrombosis (PVT).
Methods: Patients with a new diagnosis of non-tumoural acute and acute-on-chronic PVT between January 2021 and January 2024 (aged ≥ 18 years) in those without/with cirrhosis (Child-Pugh (CP)-A/B/C ≤ 10) were started on dabigatran and followed and compared with those on vitamin K antagonist (VKA) and untreated individuals.
Results: Dabigatran was prescribed in 119 patients with PVT type 1 (61, 51.
Systemic lupus erythematosus-associated autoantibodies in sickle cell disease: Spontaneous emergence in a patient and in transgenic sickle mice.

We describe a patient with sickle cell disease (SCD) and elevated antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) who developed multi-organ failure resembling catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome. Autoimmune screening revealed several autoantibodies characteristic of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Notably, routinely housed and unmanipulated transgenic sickle mice displayed significantly elevated titres of aPL- and SLE-associated autoantibodies.

Parvovirus B19 (B19V) is a human pathogen from the Parvoviridae family that primarily targets and replicates in erythroid progenitor cells (EPCs). While its symptoms are typically self-limiting in healthy individuals, B19V can cause or exacerbate autoimmune diseases in vulnerable patients. This review integrates the involvement of B19V in the development and worsening of several autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), hematological disorders (thalassemia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia), vasculitis, antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), dermatological disease (systemic sclerosis, psoriasis), autoimmune thyroid disease, myocarditis, and myasthenia gravis, and autoinflammatory disease of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD).

Article Synopsis
- This study examines a rare complication of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), discussing clinical features, treatment, and outcomes.
- A total of twelve patients were reviewed, predominantly middle-aged women, with common symptoms including headache and typical pSS manifestations such as dry mouth and arthritis.
- All patients received treatment including anticoagulants and recovered fully, highlighting the need for increased awareness and screening for autoimmune diseases in CVT cases, especially with unilateral transverse sinus involvement.
