Background: The impact of incorporating immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) into standard chemotherapy on the severity and risk of myelosuppression in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients remains uncertain.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of phase 3 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated ICIs in people with NSCLC. A comprehensive search of four databases, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, was carried out from inception to 30 October 2023.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystemic connective tissue disease with a wide range of clinical and laboratory manifestations. The diagnosis of SLE is often challenging due to the great variability in its presentation, and treatment should be individualized according to the patient's manifestations and affected organs. We present the clinical case of a 25-year-old female who developed SLE with severe hematological and renal involvement as first manifestations, including hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and nephrotic syndrome.

Inborn errors of immunity are monogenic disorders that predispose patients to immune dysregulation, autoimmunity, and infection. Some autoimmune diseases, such as autoimmune cytopenias, systemic lupus erythematosus, and inflammatory bowel diseases, are increasingly recognized as phenotypes of inborn errors of immunity. The objective of this article was to identify red flags or clinical/laboratory markers to suspect inborn errors of immunity in patients with autoimmune cytopenias, systemic lupus erythematosus, and inflammatory bowel diseases through a systematic literature review.

Background: When haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia and renal failure are present, a thrombotic microangiopathic (TMA) condition should be suspected. We describe the various differential diagnoses of primary TMA syndromes, their clinical findings, clinical workup and treatment.

Case Presentation: A previously healthy man in his fifties was hospitalised with anaemia, thrombocytopenia, bilirubinaemia and acute renal failure.
