Secondary cryofibrinogenemia is related to more severe microangiopathic involvement in systemic sclerosis: results from a retrospective observational study.

The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of cryofibrinogenemia in a cohort of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) regardless of clinical manifestations, who were admitted to our hospital and determine the associations among CF positivity, disease features and ongoing therapies. This was a monocentric and retrospective study. The inclusion criteria were a diagnosis of SSc (according to the ACR/EULAR 2013 classification criteria), regular administration of i.

Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (HSP), or IgA vasculitis, is a systemic inflammatory disorder primarily affecting children. While common symptoms include purpura, abdominal pain, and arthritis, testicular involvement is rare. We report a case of a young boy presenting with severe scrotal pain and swelling, later identified as epididymo-orchitis secondary to HSP.

Background: Toscana virus (TOSV) is a sand fly-borne phlebovirus causing central nervous system (CNS) infection in Mediterranean countries, during summer season. However, clinical aspects of the disease caused by this virus are poorly known by clinicians, so that its prevalence is probably underestimated due to a lack of diagnosis.
Study Design: The data was gathered from all available case series and retrospective studies identifying TOSV as the causative viral agent.
Targeted antibody therapy as a treatment strategy for aggressive adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.

The standard treatment for aggressive adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is multi-agent chemotherapy, but the use of more intense cytotoxic anticancer agents is becoming more difficult with the aging of patients at the time of diagnosis. As a means of overcoming this hurdle, antibody drugs, which are supposed to be less toxic, have been developed for ATL. The advent of the anti-CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) antibody mogamulizumab has significantly advanced ATL treatment.

Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) are critical immunological markers commonly associated with various connective tissue diseases (CTDs). However, these autoantibodies are also detectable in healthy individuals, patients with non-rheumatic autoimmune diseases, those with viral infections, and subjects using specific medications (such as procainamide, hydralazine, and minocycline) that can lead to drug-induced ANA elevation. The standard method for ANA detection is indirect immunofluorescence, a process that requires precision and thoroughness as it assesses both titer and fluorescence patterns.
