The autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA) is a rare condition caused by an immune response associated with over-reactivity of the immune system, triggered by adjuvants. The most common adjuvants are aluminium salts but can also be bioimplants or infectious agents. It may lead to the development of various autoimmunologic diseases.

Wilson's disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism. The genetic defect in WD affects the gene, which encodes the ATP7B transmembrane protein, which is essential for maintaining normal copper homeostasis in the body. It is primarily expressed in the liver and acts by incorporating copper into ceruloplasmin (Cp), the major copper transport protein in the blood.

Article Synopsis
  • The global pandemic of COVID-19 led to widespread vaccination even among low-risk groups, raising safety concerns.
  • Research indicates that COVID-19 genetic vaccines can distribute throughout the body, including sensitive areas like the heart and brain, potentially triggering harmful immune responses.
  • The article emphasizes the need for detailed studies on how these vaccines distribute in the body and the importance of evaluating their risks and benefits based on age.

[Side effects of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy : What intensive care specialists need to know].

Immunotherapies, and in particular checkpoint inhibitors, have revolutionized the treatment of cancer. However, due to their mechanism of action, the activation of the body's own T cells, side effects are frequently associated with these therapies. So-called immune-related adverse events (irAEs) manifest as autoimmunological phenomena, can occur in any organ system, and even lead to severe organ failure.

Paravertebral fibrous pseudotumor: Four cases of a distinctive tumefactive lesion overlapping with eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis and tumoral erythema elevatum diutinum.

Ann Diagn Pathol

Eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis (EAF) is a rare tumefactive fibroinflammatory disease with predilection for the upper respiratory tract, characterized by concentric (onionskin) fibrosis around small arterioles with variable intervening storiform fibrosis admixed with chronic inflammatory infiltrates rich in eosinophils. Erythema elevatum diutinum (EED), another autoimmunological disorder that mainly affects acral sites and extensor surfaces, is characterized by neutrophilic leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Rarely, older EED lesions may present as tumefactive nodular (pseudotumoral) fibrous masses closely mimicking EAF.
