Severe diffuse alveolar hemorrhage related to autoimmune disease: a multicenter study.

Crit Care

May 2020

Département Hospitalo-Universitaire Inflammation-Immunopathologie-Biotherapie (DHU i2B), UPMC Université Paris 06, UMR 7211, Sorbonne Universités, 75005, Paris, France.

Background: Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) occurs during the course of autoimmune disease and may be life threatening. The objective was to assess characteristics and prognosis factors of DAH who required intensive care unit (ICU) admission in patients with autoimmune diseases.

Methods: French multicenter retrospective study including patients presenting DAH related to autoimmune diseases requiring ICU admission from 2000 to 2016.

Objective: The aims of this study were to describe and assess the vascular outcomes of patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) presenting with only symptomatic isolated limb involvement (LI-GCA).

Methods: We recruited patients from 5 tertiary centers who were diagnosed with GCA based on histology or vasculitis demonstration on imaging and who presented with isolated symptomatic limb involvement at diagnosis. For each included patient, we randomly selected 3 control patients who satisfied the 5 criteria from the American College of Rheumatology at diagnosis.

Electronic address:

Background: Mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC 1) drives the proinflammatory expansion of T helper (TH) type 1, TH17 cells and controls fibroblast proliferation, typical features of large vessel vasculitis (LVV) pathogenesis. Molecular pathways involved in arterial lesions of LVV are unknown.

Methods: We evaluate mTORC pathway activation in vascular aorta lesions and in T cell homeostasis of patients with LVV.
