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 ... -
Autoimmune hepatitis type-2 and Epstein-Barr virus infection in a toddler: Art of facts or an artifact?
(2013)Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can cause frequently asymptomatic (or anicteric) and self-limited hepatitis, while occasionally may result in considerable cholestatic hepatitis. Herein, we describe the case of a previously healthy ... -
Curcumin for the management of periodontitis and early ACPA-positive rheumatoid arthritis: Killing two birds with one stone
(2018)We propose curcumin as a preventive measure to avoid/manage periodontitis (PD), and as a natural immunosuppressant for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). PD, mainly caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis forming biofilm and leading ... -
Epstein-Barr virus: In search of a causal or a casual relationship between the virus and the disease?
(2018)[No abstract available] -
Expression of cytotoxic proteins in peripheral T-cell and natural killer-cell (NK) lymphomas: Association with extranodal site, NK or Tγδ phenotype, anaplastic morphology and CD30 expression
(2000)Most peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) express the αβ T-cell receptor (TCR) whereas rare PTCL express the γδ TCR. Most if not all γδ PTCL are extranodal lymphomas and among them, hepatosplenic γδ PTCL constitute a distinct ... -
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 ... -
The infectious basis of ACPA-positive rheumatoid arthritis
(2017)Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with HLA-DRB1 shared epitope (HLA-DRB1SE) and anti-citrullinated protein autoantibodies (ACPAs). ACPAs precedes the onset of clinical and subclinical RA. There are strong data for ... -
A kidney transplant recipient with a perforated cheek: Oral epstein-barr virus-positive mucocutaneous ulcer complicated with an opportunistic bacterial infection
(2021)A 69-year-old female living donor kidney transplant recipient presented with right facial painful edema. The patient’s body mass index was 14 (kilograms per meter squared), and her creatinine clearance was 15 mL/min. A ... -
Overlapping host pathways between SARS-CoV-2 and its potential copathogens: An in silico analysis
(2020)Background: SARS-CoV-2 coinfection with other viral and bacterial pathogens and their interactions are increasingly recognized in the literature as potential determinants of COVID-19 phenotypes. The aim of this study was ... -
Pleural effusions induced by human herpesviruses in the immunocompetent host
(2019)Methods: A computer-based search of the English literature for articles relative to Human Herpesviruses (HHVs) infection and pleural effusions (PEs) in the immunocompetent host was performed in PubMed and Scopus. The ... -
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 ... -
Recent Advances in Aggressive Large B-cell Lymphomas: A Comprehensive Review
(2016)Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive disease with considerable heterogeneity reflected in the 2008 World Health Organization classification. In recent years, genome-wide assessment of genetic and epigenetic ... -
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, ...
