Clinical features and outcomes of horses presenting with presumed equine immune mediated keratitis to two veterinary hospitals in the United Kingdom and Finland: 94 cases (2009–2021)

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 598-610, May 2025.
Abstract Background There is limited literature regarding equine immune mediated keratitis (IMMK) in Europe. North America‐based publications describe minimal blepharospasm, rare corneal ulceration and no uveitis; clinical impression suggests these are seen in Europe. Objectives Assess the prevalence of blepharospasm, corneal ulceration and uveitis and

Infection risk in atopic dermatitis patients treated with biologics and JAK inhibitors: BioDay results

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
This cohort study of 1793 atopic dermatitis patients (aged ≥ 12) found higher infection rates with Janus kinase inhibitor treatment compared to biologic treatment, particularly for herpes infections, with a history of viral or fungal skin infection as a risk factor associated with infection.
