Steroid‐Refractory Cryptogenic Organising Pneumonia (COP) in a Patient With Mannose‐Binding Lectin (MBL) Deficiency

open access: yesRespirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
A 67‐year‐old man with cryptogenic organising pneumonia developed recurrent relapses despite corticosteroid and mycophenolate therapy. A complete absence of mannose‐binding lectin was identified, suggesting impaired apoptotic cell clearance as a contributor to persistent inflammation.

Cryoglobulinemia: An update on classification, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management

open access: yesJournal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 2, Page 196-215, February 2026.
Abstract Cryoglobulinemia (CG) is defined by the presence of serum immunoglobulins that precipitate below 37°C and redissolve upon rewarming. It is classified into three types based on immunoglobulin composition. Type I, a rare form, involves monoclonal IgM or IgG and is linked to lymphoproliferative disorders.

Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis in patients with viral hepatitis C. Does viral eradication always lead to a complete clinical and immunological response?

open access: yesКлинический разбор в общей медицине
Mixed cryoglobulinemiа is one of the common extrahepatic manifestations of chronic viral hepatitis C. According to the research results, about 53% of HCV patients have cryoglobulins in their blood serum.

Mixed cryoglobulinemia secondary to visceral Leishmaniasis [PDF]

open access: yesArthritis & Rheumatism, 1999
We describe a case of type II mixed cryoglobulinemia, with monoclonal IgMkappa rheumatoid factor, associated with visceral leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania infantum. Involvement of Leishmania antigen(s) in the formation of cryoprecipitable immune complexes was suggested by the fact that cryoglobulinemic vasculitis subsided after antiparasite therapy ...

Recent Progress in Double Filtration Plasmapheresis

open access: yesHemodialysis International, Volume 30, Issue 1, Page 18-25, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Double‐filtration plasmapheresis is an advanced extracorporeal blood purification technique that selectively removes pathogenic macromolecules based on molecular weight. Unlike conventional plasma exchange, double‐filtration plasmapheresis uses a two‐step filtration process to retain beneficial plasma components such as albumin, while ...

Audio-vestibular symptoms in systemic autoimmune diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Immune-mediated inner ear disease can be primary, when the autoimmune response is against the inner ear, or secondary. The latter is characterized by the involvement of the ear in the presence of systemic autoimmune conditions. Sensorineural hearing loss

Different biochemical patterns in type II and type III mixed cryoglobulinemia in HCV positive patients.

open access: yesDigestive and Liver Disease, 2018
BACKGROUND Reversible cryoprecipitability of proteins is observed as a concomitant feature of immune complex formation. Mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) is systemic vasculitis, associated with mixed IgM and IgG cryoglobulins (CGs) showing rheumatoid factor ...
