Targeting Immunologic Pathways in Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis: Translating Emerging Evidence Into Clinical Practice

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare and potentially life‐threatening systemic, inflammatory disease with multi‐organ manifestations, variable presentation and complex pathology. Multiple interconnected immunological pathways are implicated in EGPA pathology, including a type‐2 immune response driving predominantly ...

CH50 as a Clinically Useful Biomarker of Disease Activity and Antihistamine Resistance in Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria: An Observational Ambispective Single‐Center Study

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Personalized CSU care guided by CH50. ABSTRACT Background Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is frequently refractory to guideline‐based therapy, highlighting the need for predictive biomarkers. Dysregulation of the complement system has been implicated in CSU severity, but global complement activity has not been systematically evaluated.

When to consider an inborn error of immunity: clues for physicians

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The term inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) refers to the rapidly expanding group of genetic disorders causing dysregulation of the immune system. With improved genetic testing in recent years, the number of defined IEIs and their range of phenotypic presentations has grown vastly, with more than 550 IEIs now described.
