Presentation
She later presented a recurrent bone marrow involvement treated with intramuscular paromomycin and miltefosine. She died two years later from leukemia. At the time of death, she presented with a mucosal destruction of the nose. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Fever
Due to continual pathological signals in liver and lungs, persistent fever, and an M-component in peripheral blood, a new course of four rituximab doses was given, after which the fever settled, the PET scan normalized, and the M-component disappeared [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Jaw & Teeth
- Jaw Claudication
A 63-year-old woman presented with symptoms of headache, jaw claudication, scalp paresthesia, and visual disturbances. A temporal artery biopsy showed GCA. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
- Extrapyramidal Symptoms
A 65-year-old man presented with extrapyramidal symptoms though no symptoms typical of GCA. Imaging showed multiple ischemic strokes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
For maintenance therapy, no treatment was better for all outcomes and no treatment appeared most effective at reducing graft loss. BEL + MMF appeared more effective than TAC + MMF and SRL + MMF at reducing mortality. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

ZAP70 is also overexpressed in some individuals with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, and these individuals have an especially poor prognosis. ZAP70 might therefore also be a useful therapeutic target in these patients. [ebi.ac.uk]
We conclude that in children without a MSD treatment with combined IST and G-CSF converts the former bad prognosis factor severe granulocytopenia into an indicator of better response and survival. [bloodjournal.org]
Etiology
Whether anti-GAD antibodies have an etiological role in these neurological disorders or simply serve as disease markers is unclear. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In addition, the epidemiology of infections after solid organ transplantation has shifted as a result of changes in immunosuppressive strategies and improved survival. [kiss.kstudy.com]

Abnormal cytotoxic T-cell activation with cytokine release is a possible pathophysiology. We present the case of a 16-month-old Japanese male who developed HAAA following living-donor liver transplantation for fulminant hepatitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
To prevent rejection of the transplanted organ, HT patients require life-long immunosuppressive therapy. The goal of the immunosuppression is to minimise the risk of immune-mediated graft rejection, while avoiding clinical side-effects. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It also is used in combination with glucocorticoids and a calcineurin inhibitor to prevent transplant rejection. [britannica.com]
