Case series: Kikuchi‐Fujimoto disease with diagnostic overlap

open access: yesRheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Kikuchi‐Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare, self‐limiting necrotizing lymphadenitis that poses significant diagnostic challenges due to its overlap with tuberculosis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and malignancy. We present four cases highlighting distinct diagnostic complexities: KFD mimicking tuberculosis with concomitant latent TB infection and ...

Infection risk in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with biologic and targeted therapies

open access: yesRheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
In this context, infections associated with each biologic and targeted drug are summarized to inform the stratification of RA patients, including the characteristics of the susceptible patients and their concomitant therapy. We aim to provide a benefit‐risk analysis for clinical decision, and vital indications for the prevention of highly correlated ...

Transformative Pathways for Strengthening Climate‐Resilient Health Systems Among Indigenous Communities: Advancing Equity and Sustainability in Global Health

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most climate‐resilience health interventions are designed at the global level, with minimal attention to Indigenous communities' needs. The lack of consideration can lead to unintended harm and exacerbate health risks. This study aims to identify the capacities of Indigenous communities that can serve as transformative pathways in safely ...

Effect of Anti‐IL‐23 and Anti‐IL‐17 Therapy on Darier Disease: A Case Series

open access: yesAustralasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Darier disease is a rare ATP2A2‐related genodermatosis for which therapeutic options remain limited, as acitretin is often constrained by toxicity and teratogenicity. In this retrospective real‐world case series of eight patients, anti‐IL‐17 therapy showed a more consistent early signal of clinical benefit than anti‐IL‐23 therapy, with greater

Latent Tuberculosis Infection - Diagnosis and Treatment

open access: yesOpen Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2018
INTRODUCTION: Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is defined as a state of persistent immune response to stimulation by Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens without evidence of clinically manifested active tuberculosis (TB). Diagnosis and treatment for LTBI are important for TB, especially in high-risk populations.

Latent tuberculosis infection: Opportunities and challenges [PDF]

open access: yesRespirology, 2018
ABSTRACTDiagnosing and treating latent tuberculosis (TB) infection (LTBI) is recognized by the World Health Organization as an important strategy to accelerate the decline in global TB and achieve TB elimination. Even among low‐TB burden countries that have achieved high rates of detection and successful treatment for active TB, a number of barriers ...
