To investigate viruses in measles-negative cases, 221 measles-suspected samples collected in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea were tested using a real-time PCR assay. Rubella virus was not detected. However, 11 cases of parvovirus B19 (5.0%), 47 cases of human herpesvirus 6 (21.3%), 25 cases of human herpesvirus 7 (11.3%), and one case of co-infection with parvovirus B19 and human herpesvirus 7 were confirmed, as were eight cases of co-infection with human herpesvirus 6 and human herpesvirus 7. This study showed that parvovirus B19, human herpesvirus 6, and human herpesvirus 7 should be considered by physicians for the diagnosis of measles-suspected patients.

The innate immune response is the first line of defense for the host against viral infections. Targeted degradation of pathogenic microorganisms through autophagy, in conjunction with pattern recognition receptors synergistically inducing the production of interferon (IFN), constitutes an important pathway for the body to resist viral infections. Rubicon, a Run domain Beclin 1-interacting and cysteine-rich domain protein, has an inhibitory effect on autophagy and IFN production.

Article Synopsis
  • BTLA is an inhibitory immune checkpoint that interacts with HVEM to regulate immune balance and maintain immune tolerance on the same cell, while also affecting different immune cells to suppress immune responses.
  • Dysregulation of the BTLA/HVEM interaction can lead to impaired immune cell function, allowing tumor cells to evade immune detection and progress.
  • Research indicates that BTLA and HVEM are often abnormally expressed in various tumors, making them potential targets for future immunotherapy approaches in treating hematologic malignancies.

No evidence for active viral infection in unicentric and idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease by Viral-Track analysis.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Center for Cytokine Storm Treatment & Laboratory, Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, CSTL, 3535 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19104, USA.

Castleman disease (CD) is a rare hematologic disorder characterized by pathologic lymph node changes and a range of symptoms due to excessive cytokine production. While uncontrolled infection with human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) is responsible for the cytokine storm in a portion of multicentric CD (HHV-8-associated MCD) cases, the etiology of unicentric CD (UCD) and HHV-8-negative/idiopathic MCD (iMCD) is unknown. Several hypotheses have been proposed regarding the pathogenesis of UCD and iMCD, including occult infection given the precedent established by HHV-8 infection.
