Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is defined by a low platelet count that can trigger potentially life-threatening haemorrhages. Three-quarters of adult patients exhibit persistent or chronic disease and require second-line treatments. Among these, rituximab, an anti-CD20 antibody, has yielded valuable results, with global responses in 60% of patients at 6 months and complete responses in 30% at 5 years.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores how mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 trigger immune responses, revealing that the first dose leads to modest immune reactions while the second dose causes stronger interferon and inflammatory responses.
  • Blood samples taken at high frequency showed that both doses generated different patterns of interferon responses, indicating variations in immune reaction quality and quantity.
  • The findings suggest distinct immune response patterns are associated with COVID-19 severity, emphasizing the importance of closely monitoring immune responses after vaccination.

The identification of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 and high risk of severe disease is a challenge in routine care. We performed cell phenotypic, serum, and RNA sequencing gene expression analyses in severe hospitalized patients (n = 61). Relative to healthy donors, results showed abnormalities of 27 cell populations and an elevation of 42 cytokines, neutrophil chemo-attractants, and inflammatory components in patients.

Article Synopsis
  • Bacterial infections are a significant health issue for individuals living with HIV (PLHIV), and although statins have shown protective effects in other groups, their impact on PLHIV is still debated.
  • This study aimed to assess whether statin usage reduces the chances of experiencing a first severe bacterial infection (SBI) in a large cohort of PLHIV from 2000 to 2018.
  • The results indicated that statins did not significantly affect the incidence of SBIs or pneumonia among PLHIV over the 18-year follow-up period, suggesting that statins may not offer the protective benefits seen in other populations.
