Background: Infectious episodes contribute to morbidity and mortality in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). Renal involvement, also known as ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis (AGN), is frequently observed in AAV. Little is known about whether co-infection at initial diagnosis is associated with renal outcome and prognosis in children with AGN.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). Screening and primary cardiovascular prevention may improve outcomes.

Methods: We identified patients in the 2002-2019 Mass General Brigham AAV cohort with thoracic CT scans obtained for other clinical purposes.

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a subtype of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) that commonly requires aggressive immunosuppression to achieve remission. We present a case of a young Malay lady with recurrent episodes of ANCA-positive nodular anterior scleritis who responded poorly to topical and systemic corticosteroids and relapsed while on methotrexate. A year later, she had epistaxis, and a sino-nasal biopsy confirmed granulomatous vasculitis.

Objectives: Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV) is a rare and potential devastating disease with high mortality, frequently with pulmonary involvement. Our study aimed to explore the pulmonary features of AAV and identify predictors of long-term survival.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 538 AAV patients diagnosed between January 2013 and July 2019, with follow-up data extending to August 2020.

CAR-T cell therapy, a cutting-edge cellular immunotherapy with demonstrated efficacy in treating hematologic malignancies, also exhibits significant promise for addressing autoimmune diseases. This innovative therapeutic approach holds promise for achieving long-term remission in autoimmune diseases, potentially offering significant benefits to affected patients. Current targets under investigation for the treatment of these conditions include CD19, CD20, and BCMA, among others.
