Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and sarcoidosis are both complex autoimmune disorders with varying clinical manifestations. The incidence of SLE is as low as 4.91 per 100,000 population, and that of sarcoidosis is 0.85 per 100,000 population. The prevalence of neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) ranges from 17.6% to 44.5%. The concurrent occurrence of NPSLE and sarcoidosis, although rare, presents diagnostic and management challenges. The clinical picture resulting from the coexistence of NPSLE and sarcoidosis, which share a common immunological picture, is not well defined. This case report discusses a patient with coexisting NPSLE and sarcoidosis, highlighting the intricate interplay between these conditions.

While durable antibody responses from long-lived plasma cell (LLPC) populations are important for protection against pathogens, LLPC may be harmful if they produce antibodies against self-proteins or self-nuclear antigens as occurs in autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Thus, the elimination of autoreactive LLPC may improve the treatment of antibody-driven autoimmune diseases. However, LLPC remain a challenging therapeutic target.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare, self-limiting condition typically characterized by fever and lymphadenopathy. The exact etiology remains unclear but is suspected to be associated with viral infections and autoimmune responses. This report presents the case of a 32-year-old Chinese male who was admitted with recurrent high fever, lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly.

Iron is a crucial element for living organism in terms of oxygen transport, hematopoiesis, enzymatic activity, mitochondrial respiratory chain function and also immune system function. The human being has evolved a mechanism to regulate body iron. In some rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematous (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and gout, this balanced iron regulation is impaired.
