Jul 31st, 2021 - To investigate the incidence and risk factors for hypogammaglobulinemia and infectious complications associated with rituximab treatment in childhood-onset rheumatic diseases. We performed a single-center retrospective study of patients (n = 85) t...

Jul 27th, 2021 - The BAFF-receptor (BAFFR) is a member of the TNF-receptor family. It is expressed only by B cells and binds BAFF as single ligand, which activates key signaling pathways regulating essential cellular functions, including survival, protein synthesi...

Jul 19th, 2021 - Hypogammaglobulinemia is a disorder characterized by low serum immunoglobulin levels and had high prevalence of gastrointestinal manifestations. In some cases, clinical and endoscopic features are indistinguishable from those of inflammatory bowel...

Jul 16th, 2021 - IKAROS is a pioneer protein of the IKZF family of transcription factors that plays an essential role in lymphocyte development. Recently, inborn errors of IKAROS have been identified in patients with B cell deficiency and hypogammaglobulinemia, an...

Jul 12th, 2021 - Immune dysregulation complications cause significant morbidity and mortality in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), but the underlying pathophysiology is poorly understood. While CVID is primarily considered a B-cell defect, resulting in the ...

May 8th, 2020 - Patients with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (CAEBV) have (a) an illness that began as a primary infection with EBV or markedly elevated titers of antibodies to EBV, (b) histological evidence of organ disease, and (c) elevated EBV DNA levels in...

Jan 18th, 2020 - M. A. suffers from hypogammaglobulinemia that has been complicated by refractory Mycoplasma hominis septic arthritis. He has been receiving the antibiotic valnemulin under Emergency Investigational New Drug (eIND) 114686 following many prior treat...

May 17th, 2019 - An increased susceptibility to bacterial and viral infections is the hallmark primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs). The most common PIDs requiring treatment with Ig replacement (SCIg or IVIg) is Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID), which is diag...

Mar 5th, 2019 - An increased risk of infection despite intensive antimicrobial prophylaxis is a well-recognized complication of lung transplantation. Recent evidence suggests that immunosuppressive therapy after solid organ transplantation may lead to humoral imm...

Aug 27th, 2018 - Variable common immunodeficiency (VCID) encompasses a heterogeneous group of primitive immunodeficiencies, with variable clinical and immunological settings, but globally characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia with significant reduction of Immunog...

May 7th, 2021 - The serious infection risk associated with rituximab treatment for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is high but can be offset by co-prescribing co-trimoxazole, data from a single-center, retrospective study re...

Apr 20th, 2021 - A quarter of children receiving treatment with rituximab developed hypogammaglobulinemia within 18 months of starting the drug, according to preliminary research shared at the annual scientific meeting of the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology R...

Oct 22nd, 2020 - Fully 48% of patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases who developed persistent hypogammaglobulinemia after initiating treatment with immunomodulatory agents harbored gene variants associated with inborn errors of immunity, according to the find...
