During recent years, the identification of monogenic mutations that cause sterile inflammation has expanded the spectrum of autoinflammatory diseases, clinical disorders characterized by uncontrolled systemic and organ-specific inflammation that, in some cases, can mirror infectious conditions. Early studies support the concept of innate immune dysregulation with a predominance of myeloid effector cell dysregulation, particularly neutrophils and macrophages, in causing tissue inflammation. However, recent discoveries have shown a complex overlap of features of autoinflammation and/or immunodeficiency contributing to severe disease phenotypes. Here, we describe the first Argentine patient with a newly described frameshift mutation in c.2666delT/p.F889Sfs*2 presenting with a complex phenotypic overlap of CANDLE-like features and severe infection-induced cytopenia and immunodeficiency. The patient underwent a fully matched unrelated HSCT and has since been in inflammatory remission 5 years post-HSCT.

The reconstruction of full-thickness scalp defects with exposed bone can be challenging. A single-stage reconstruction could be the preferred option for patients with multiple comorbidities. We propose using a dermal regeneration template (Matriderm Flex) and full-thickness skin grafts.

BACKGROUND Fibrosing mediastinitis (FM) is a rare, fibroproliferative disorder within the mediastinum. It is extremely rare for hematologic malignancies to develop as FM. CASE REPORT A 32-year-old Japanese man with a 1-month history of headache and 2-week history of facial swelling underwent chest computed tomography (CT); a diffuse mass-like lesion was revealed in the anterior mediastinum with severe stenosis of vital mediastinal organs.

This study reports a rare case of referred pain in the trigeminal nerve distribution caused by entrapment of the greater occipital nerve (GON). Notably, the pain extended to the ipsilateral tongue, an unusual intraoral involvement. GON entrapment can lead to sensitization in secondary nociceptive neurons within the trigeminocervical complex (TCC), which receives signals from both trigeminal and occipital nerves, causing referred facial pain.

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infection can cause ophthalmic diseases in immunocompetent patients, recipients of bone marrow transplants, and patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). This study describes the case of a healthy 37-year-old male who presented with unilateral anterior uveitis (AU), significant anterior chamber exudation, pupillary membrane closure, increased intraocular pressure, and eyelid edema. Notably, HHV-6A was the only pathogenic agent identified in the blood and aqueous humor.
