Introduction: Epitope mimicry as a component cause of autoimmune disease
The causes of autoimmune diseases have yet to be fully\ud elucidated. Autoantibodies, autoreactive T cell responses,\ud the presence of a predisposing major histocompatibility\ud complex (MHC) haplotype and responsiveness to corticosteroids are features,

A 17 Year Old With Developmental Delay Presenting With Increasing Confusion and Imbalance
ABSTRACT Methylmalonic acidemia is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder primarily caused by defects in methylmalonyl‐CoA mutase and cobalamin (vitamin B12) metabolism. These defects disrupt the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, leading to the abnormal accumulation of metabolic products such as methylmalonic acid, propionic acid,

Pituitary–Adrenal Axis and Peripheral Immune Cell Profile in Long COVID
In Long COVID, dysfunction in the pituitary–adrenal axis and alterations in immune cells and inflammatory status are warned against. We performed a prospective study in a cohort of 42 patients who suffered COVID-19 at least 6 months before attending the ...

Molecular mimicry: Can epitope mimicry induce autoimmune disease?
Mimicry of host antigens by infectious agents may induce cross-reactive autoimmune responses to epitopes within host proteins which, in susceptible individuals, may tip the balance of immunological response versus tolerance toward response and ...
