Immune ‐mediated necrotizing myopathy with concomitant development of Kikuchi–Fujimoto disease
AbstractImmune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is a distinct type of idiopathic inflammatory myositis, pathologically characterized by myofiber necrosis and degeneration in the absence of lymphocyte infiltration. Herein, we present a case of IMNM with concomitant development of Kikuchi –Fujimoto disease (KFD), characterized by histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, in a 36-year-old woman who had a treatment history for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Treatment with oral prednisolone and tacrolimus as immunosuppressants resulted in the remission of the skeletomuscular involvement and lymphadenopathy. To the best of our kn...

Tofacitinib and pirfenidone as rescue therapies for severe COVID ‐19 in a patient with previously stable interstitial lung disease associated with Sjögren syndrome
AbstractCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can lead to pulmonary fibrosis due to the inflammatory process in the lung, resulting in a series of respiratory consequences. Patients with underlying systemic diseases or pre-existing pulmonary diseases are particularly at risk of severe respiratory distress and persistent pulmonary abnormalities. Pirfenidone, a well-known anti-fibrotic agent recognized for its therapeutic effect on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, could be a feasible option in severe COVID-19 cases given the similar pathophysiological features shared with interstitial lung diseases. In this paper, we share our e...

Peripheral CD4+/CD8+ T cell composition distinct from healthy individuals is shared by ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis
ConclusionsAS patients and RA patients have some similar peripheral CD4+/CD8+ T cell subsets but are distinct from healthy individuals, which may contribute to disease severity. Females are respectively characterized by the up-regulation of Treg cells and naive CD8+ T cells in AS patients and RA patients. The study offers an in-depth understanding of the role of T cell subsets in the similarities of the disorders and helps us to monitor disease changes and may offer a theoretical basis of developing novel therapies against common targets.
