AI Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 vaccinations, particularly mRNA vaccines, have been linked to exacerbations of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases like psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa.
- Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa who received mRNA vaccines are 3.5 times more likely to experience disease flares compared to those who received non-mRNA vaccines.
- Additional studies are needed to confirm these findings across larger populations and to better understand the relationship between COVID-19 vaccines and other inflammatory conditions.
Article Abstract
Exacerbations and new onset of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, such as psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa, have been reported following COVID-19 vaccination. In patients with hidradenitis suppurativa, recent studies have shown that those who received mRNA vaccines were 3.5 times as likely to develop flares following vaccination compared to patients who received non-mRNA vaccines, indicating that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are associated with hidradenitis suppurativa flares. Similar findings have been found in other studies evaluating the association between COVID-19 vaccines and other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, lichen planus, and alopecia areata. However, further research is warranted in larger populations to validate these findings.

CAR T-Cell Therapy for Rheumatic Diseases: What Does the Future Hold?

Rheumatology Department, Strasbourg University Hospital, 1 Avenue Molière, 67000, Strasbourg, France.
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, initially successful in treating hematological malignancies, is emerging as a potential treatment for autoimmune diseases, including rheumatic conditions. CAR T cells, engineered to target and eliminate autoreactive B cells, offer a novel approach to managing diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), and inflammatory myopathies, where B cells play a pivotal role in disease pathology. Early case reports have demonstrated promising results, with patients achieving significant disease remission, normalization of serological markers, and the ability to discontinue traditional immunosuppressive therapies, which supported the initiation of several clinical trials.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an inflammatory condition more common in children but rare in adults, where diagnosis can be challenging due to nonspecific symptoms. Early recognition is essential to prevent severe complications. We present the case of a 26-year-old male with adult-onset KD who initially presented with vague symptoms, resulting in diagnostic delays.

Serine protease inhibitors (Serpins) are a protein superfamily of protease inhibitors that are thought to play a role in the regulation of inflammation, immunity, tumorigenesis, coagulation, blood pressure and cancer metastasis. Serpins is enriched in the skin and play a vital role in modulating the epidermal barrier and maintaining skin homeostasis. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory immune-mediated skin disease.

Platelets are essential for blood clotting and maintaining normal hemostasis. In pathological conditions, platelets are increasingly recognized as crucial regulatory factors in various immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Resting platelets are induced by various factors such as immune complexes through Fc receptors, platelet-targeting autoantibodies and other platelet-activating stimuli.

Leprosy is a chronic, infectious, and debilitating disorder that primarily affects the skin and peripheral nerves. The disease course may be complicated by immune-mediated reactions during or after therapy, which may further worsen nerve damage. Type II lepra reaction (T2LR) is a painful inflammatory condition with systemic features, such as fever, tender erythematous nodules, arthritis, neuritis, orchitis, lymphadenitis, and iritis.
