Recurrent venous thrombosis - an unusual first presentation of autoimmune polyendocrinopathy syndrome type 3B
S Afr Med J. 2023 Dec 31;114(1):17-21. doi: 10.7196/SAMJ.2024.v114i1.1477.ABSTRACTA 45-year-old female presented with unprovoked recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE), in unusual sites, and pancytopenia, posing a complex diagnostic challenge. Work-up for inherited thrombophilia, antiphospholipid syndrome (APLS) and paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria were unremarkable. Investigations revealed autoimmune thyroid disease, and a mixed iron/vitamin B12 deficiency due to pernicious anaemia and resultant atrophic gastritis. Hyperhomocysteinaemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency was identified as a potential contributor to her rec...

A Case of Vitiligo Combined with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Treated with Tofacitinib
This report presents a unique case of a vitiligo patient with concomitant systemic lupus erythematosus. Remarkably, after a 30-day course of treatment with tofacitinib, complete repigmentation of the white macular rash was achieved, and there were no adverse drug reactions. These findings provide compelling evidence for the efficacy and safety of oral JAK inhibitors, such as tofacitinib, in vitiligo treatment. Additionally, JAK inhibitors can yet be regarded as a promising new treatment option for vitiligo patients with concurrent autoimmune diseases.PMID:38524393 | PMC:PMC10961069 | DOI:10.2147/CCID.S448535 (Source: Clini...
