A 22-year-old male patient with a clinical picture similar to that of sepsis was diagnosed with macrophage activation syndrome in adult Still's disease on the basis of clinical and laboratory criteria. The diagnostic work-up included the differentiated clarification of a persistent fever syndrome and the differential diagnosis of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Immunosuppressive therapy with dexamethasone, immunoglobulins and anakinra was initiated and a sustained clinical remission was achieved.

Neonatal lupus erythematosus: an acquired autoimmune disease to be taken seriously.
Ann Med
December 2025
Department of Neonatology, Children's Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, China.
Aim: This review aims to summarize the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, management, prognosis and regression of Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) with a view to providing directions for standardized diagnosis, treatment and further research.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature review of NLE. NLE-related peer-reviewed papers were searched through PubMed/Medline were searched up to November 2024.
Background: This study aimed to investigate the clinical value of the serum albumin-to-globulin ratio (AGR) in diagnosing multiple myeloma (MM) and its differential diagnosis from other conditions such as liver and kidney diseases to provide scientific evidence for clinical decision-making.
Methods: A total of 52 newly-diagnosed MM patients from Tongxiang First People's Hospital between January 2020 and June 2024 were selected as the study group. Additionally, 56 patients newly diagnosed with liver disease and 58 patients newly diagnosed with kidney disease during the same period were used as disease control groups, along with 54 healthy individuals serving as the normal control group.
Background: Differential diagnosis of pleural effusions poses a considerable challenge in clinical practice. In this study, we explored biomarkers in pleural fluid for distinguishing tuberculosis, malignant, and parapneumonic pleural effusion patients.
Methods: A total of 166 patients with exudative pleural effusion were collected, including 86 patients with tuberculosis pleural effusion (TPE), 52 patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE), and 28 patients with parapneumonic effusion (PE).
Case Report: MOGAD - a steroid-responsive autoimmune meningoencephalitis mimicking infection.
Front Immunol
March 2025
Division of Neurology, Department of Medicine, National University Hospital, Singapore, Singapore.
This case series reports three patients initially managed for presumed infectious meningoencephalitis, who were ultimately diagnosed with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein associated disease (MOGAD). Their clinical presentations were strikingly similar to those of acute infectious meningoencephalitis, which posed a challenge to the initial diagnostic process. Notably, despite the absence of typical radiological changes associated with MOGAD, such as cerebral cortical encephalitis, these patients exhibited focal neurological and electroencephalographic changes.

Department of Digestive Endoscopy, The First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University, Dalian, Liaoning, China.
Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) represents a frequent cancer with a poor prognosis. Altered glucose metabolism contributes factor to ESCC progression. In our previous study, signal sequence receptor subunit delta (SSR4) was included in an ESCC prognostic model; however, the mechanisms underlying SSR4 implication in ESCC remain ambiguous.
