This paper presents an electronic registry system for the purposes of the eENERCA for rare congenital conditions that require lifelong follow up and treatment. The main objective of the eENERCA project focusses on the prevention of major rare anaemias (RAs) by facilitating the access, at a European level, to the best genetic counselling, diagnosis and clinical management of the patients with RA independently of their country of origin. This can be achieved by promoting an extension of the full Electronic Health Record system and specifically the electronic registries for RAs, across Europe for the purposes stated hence promoting service development for the benefit of patients. The proposed eRegistry will serve as an epidemiological tool to improve the management of patient services and ultimately improve patient care.

Introduction: The effect of felbamate (FBM) on genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) remains largely unknown. The utilization of FBM has been limited due to its potential risk of aplastic anemia and hepatic failure. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy and safety of FBM in the treatment of drug-resistant GGE.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a disorder that is characterized by the destruction of red blood cells through an autoimmune process, such as temperature-dependent antibodies. The two predominant types, cold agglutinin and warm agglutinin disease, typically possess different underlying etiologies. Prompt recognition and workup of autoimmune hemolytic anemia should be prioritized to potentially uncover any underlying primary cause, such as malignancy.

Evans syndrome (ES) is a rare syndrome characterised by the association of autoimmune idiopathic hemolytic anemia (AIHA) with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and, less commonly, autoimmune neutropenia (AIN). ES may be primary or secondary to some aetiology, including, exceptionally, tuberculosis. We describe a case of association between pulmonary and medullary tuberculosis and Evans syndrome with an effective response to antitubercular treatment and corticosteroids.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by damage to organs and cells, initially mediated by tissue-binding autoantibodies and immune complexes. Lymphomas have been frequently reported, but the association of SLE with acute leukemia is rare and likely coincidental. We report a case of a 40-year-old female admitted for an etiological diagnosis of fever and dyspnea with peripheral edema.

Background: Autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD) caused by -causing pathogenic variants (ADTKD-) is a rare group of heritable diseases. ADTKD- often manifests in childhood with symptoms such as mild hypotension, chronic kidney disease, hyperkalemia, anemia, and acidosis. The diagnosis of ADTKD- remains challenging.
