COPA syndrome is a newly discovered, rare genetic autoimmune disorder, which can affect the lungs, joints, and kidneys. It is difficult to recognize, and the survival benefit of lung transplantation for these patients is not yet known. We present a case of a 24-year-old woman who received bilateral lung transplant for COPA syndrome. At 15 months posttransplant, her pulmonary function is stable with no episodes of acute cellular- or antibody-mediated rejection and no evidence of disease recurrence.

Over the past two decades, the number of genetically defined autoinflammatory interferonopathies has steadily increased. Aicardi-Goutières syndrome and proteasome-associated autoinflammatory syndromes (PRAAS, also known as CANDLE) are caused by genetic defects that impair homeostatic intracellular nucleic acid and protein processing respectively. Research into these genetic defects revealed intracellular sensors that activate type I interferon production.

Cryoglobulinemia is a rare disease characterized by the presence of cryoglobulins in the blood serum. It is usually caused by autoimmune, lymphoproliferative, or infectious factors. The pathogenesis of cryoglobulinemia is not well understood, therefore, genetic testing is very important.

Post-COVID-19 Condition (PCC) refers to a multisystemic syndrome that persists for months after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Cognitive deficits, fatigue, depression, and anxiety are common manifestations of the condition, but the underlying mechanisms driving these long-lasting neuropsychiatric features are still unclear. We conducted a prospective multi-method investigation of post-hospitalization COVID-19 patients in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Background: Talaromyces marneffei (T. marneffei) is an opportunistic pathogen that causes endemic mycoses, which could lead to multiple organ damage. Talaromycosis is frequently disregarded as an early cautionary sign of immune system disorders in non-HIV-infected children.
