Autoantibodies against specific nuclear antigens are present in psoriatic disease and are diminished by secukinumab
(2020)Anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) are frequently detected in patients with psoriasis (Ps) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), but their target autoantigens remain unknown. We assessed antibody (ab) reactivity against 23 known nuclear ... -
A comprehensive analysis of antigen-specific antibody responses against human cytomegalovirus in patients with systemic sclerosis
(2019)Anti-human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) antibodies are considered triggers of systemic sclerosis (SSc), but such a hypothesis has been assessed in limited sub-dominant epitopes. Our aim was to systematically assess the potential ... -
From microbiome to infectome in autoimmunity
(2017)Purpose of review The current review discusses the pros and cons of the microbiome studies conducted in search of the association between microbiota and autoimmunity. Recent findings We focus on the role of infectome and ... -
Herpes viruses and human papilloma virus in nasal polyposis and controls
(2015)Introduction: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps is a multifactorial disease entity with an unclear pathogenesis. Contradictory data exist in the literature on the potential implication of viral elements in adult ... -
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL44 and UL57 specific antibody responses in anti-HCMV-positive patients with systemic sclerosis
(2017)The role of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has been postulated as a trigger of systemic sclerosis (SSc). The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of antibodies against HCMV UL44 and UL57 antigens not tested in the ... -
Mortality after Pediatric Lung Transplantation: Autopsies vs. Clinical Impression
(2004)Appreciable mortality accompanies pediatric lung and heart-lung transplantation. The objective of this investigation was to compare the clinical impression of causes of death with autopsy findings in all pediatric lung or ... -
Popular and unpopular infectious agents linked to primary biliary cirrhosis
(2012)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a progressive cholestatic liver disease characterized by the autoimmune destruction of the biliary epithelial cells of the small and medium-size bile ducts. The disease affects middle ... -
Systematic review of pcr proof of parvovirus b19 genomes in endomyocardial biopsies of patients presenting with myocarditis or dilated cardiomyopathy
(2019)Background: Diverse viral infections have been associated with myocarditis (MC) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). In this meta-analysis, we summarize the published results on the association of parvovirus B19 (B19V) genomes ... -
Viruses and endogenous retroviruses in multiple sclerosis: From correlation to causation
(2017)Multiple sclerosis is an immune-mediated disease with an environmental component. According to a long-standing but unproven hypothesis dating to initial descriptions of multiple sclerosis (MS) at the end of the 19th century, ...
