BCG vaccine ’s off-target effects on allergic, inflammatory, and autoimmune diseases: Worth another shot?
Allergy is an exaggerated immune response to foreign antigens resulting from a combination of genetic, epigenetic and environmental interactions. Immune responses misdirected against intrinsic antigens can lead to autoimmunity. The incidence of allergic and autoimmune diseases is rising, constituting a global public health challenge with broad socioeconomic implications. The Bacille Calmette-Gu érin (BCG) vaccine is a live attenuated Mycobacterium bovis vaccine given to millions of newborns worldwide to prevent tuberculosis.

Drug Patch Testing in Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: Published reports suggest that PT in SJS/TEN is useful and safe. AEDs have been tested most frequently and show the highest positivity rate. There is a critical need for large-scale studies with standardized methodology to obtain reproducible data on PT in SJS/TEN.PMID:36649833 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2023.01.006

Dysregulation of Immunity in Pulmonary Fibrosis is Associated with Increased Myeloid-specific Triggering Receptor-1 and Transforming Growth Factor-beta1 Expression
In this study, the expression of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) as a stimulator for the production of TGF-β1 and also CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory cells were investigted in FP patients. Sixteen UIP, 14 NSIP and 4 pulmonary fibrosis following Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) infection patients, were compared with 12 healthy controls. The frequency of blood CD14+TGF-β1+ and CD14+TREM1+-gated monocytes and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Treg), as well as the plasma levels of TGF-β1 and IL‑10 were measured. Fibrosis patients compared to healthy controls had a greater frequency of CD14+TGF-β1+...
