This case report describes an 18-year-old girl with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed lupus pneumonitis, initially misdiagnosed as tuberculosis, and responded dramatically to corticosteroid treatment.

This case report highlights the importance of considering lupus pneumonitis as a differential diagnosis for respiratory symptoms in systemic lupus erythematosus, especially in areas endemic to tuberculosis.

This study identified that certain diseases, including AIDS and systemic lupus erythematosus, may cause African hair to change to a silky, wavy texture similar to neonatal hair in affected patients.

This report details a case of tuberculous lymphadenitis in a 21-year-old female with SLE, suggesting that immune suppression may increase susceptibility to this extra-pulmonary TB.

This case report highlights the rarity and complex differential diagnosis of discoid lupus erythematosus, emphasizing that immunosuppressive therapy in such cases can lead to serious complications like pulmonary tuberculosis.

In this case report, researchers described a 48-year-old man with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed a fungus ball (aspergilloma) within a tuberculosis cavity, a complication rarely reported in such patients, emphasizing the role of CT scans in diagnosis and the potential need for surgical intervention.

Melatonin may help with nerve pain, a hepatitis C drug is effective but has side effects, a treatment for mouth sores works but can cause blood issues, ear reconstruction with an implant is safe, HIV transmission from mother to child in Taiwan is now 0% with treatment, certain blood problems are more common in people with a tongue condition, a gene and being overweight are linked to hair loss in some women, a new technique could reduce radiation for lung nodule patients, a hepatitis treatment may lower cancer recurrence after a procedure, and adding extra screening improves tuberculosis detection in patients with lung infections.

This article discusses multiple minute digitate hyperkeratosis in a dermatological context and reports no new clinical findings; the authors focus on a descriptive review.

This case report documents a rare instance of hair loss associated with isoniazid initiation in a 32-year-old male undergoing antitubercular treatment.

This case study observed isoniazid-induced alopecia in a patient, which was confirmed as reversible since hair regrowth resumed after the drug was discontinued.

This letter describes a case of a 22-year-old woman with ichthyosis serpentina and related symptoms, suggesting it as a variant form of ichthyosis associated with bamboo hair, without necessarily including atopic features.

In this case study, a 12-year-old boy with Cushing's Disease experienced a complex diagnostic journey; ultimately, a left-side ACTH-secreting microadenoma was identified and treated with gamma knife therapy, normalizing hypercortisolism but resulting in growth hormone deficiency.

This abstract describes a program with various presentations and events focused on Canadian excellence in rheumatology but reports no new research findings.

This study demonstrated that skin organoids derived from human stem cells can model cutaneous tuberculosis, revealing that fibrosis development in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected organoids is linked to the PI3K-AKT and AP1 pathways in fibroblasts, and suggesting the potential for antifibrotic treatment evaluation.

This case report describes a young female with pediatric SLE and latent TB who was found to have gastrointestinal tuberculosis, a rarely recognized and often misdiagnosed condition, highlighting the diagnostic challenges and need for early recognition in such cases.

This report emphasizes the importance of considering thyroid tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of cervical masses, highlighting the role of biopsy and histopathological examination for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

This research explores if COVID-19, analogous to SARS-CoV, may result in long-term pulmonary fibrosis in recovered patients, although current evidence on the persistence or resolution of lung changes over time remains unknown.

This study found that wedelolactone from Eclipta prostrata L. significantly reduced lung inflammation and fibrosis in mice with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits through AMPK activation.

This case report describes a 21-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed tuberculous lymphadenitis, highlighting the increased risk of TB in patients on long-term immunosuppressive therapy.

This case report describes a 21-year-old female with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed tuberculous lymphadenitis, which was attributed to her compromised immune system from long-term immunosuppressive therapy.

In this analysis, safety data from two clinical trials showed that baricitinib for severe alopecia areata had predictable side effects like infections and elevated CPK, with some serious adverse events noted at low incidence rates; no deaths were reported.

In this review, researchers reported that Psoralea corylifolia, extensively used in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, exhibits various pharmacological activities, including antioxidant and antidiabetic effects, and is primarily used for treating skin diseases. The authors suggest further clinical trials to explore its therapeutic potential.

This review discusses the range of long-term complications, including mucocutaneous, ocular, and psychological sequelae, for survivors of Stevens–Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, but reports no new clinical results.

This study analyzed screening data from 218 alopecia areata patients before starting Janus kinase inhibitors, revealing the importance of pre-treatment screening due to risks of infections like tuberculosis and hepatitis B, with 74.8% of patients proceeding to treatment in real-world settings.

This case report describes a 30-year-old woman with severe hypoalbuminemia related to suspected SLE, who showed improvement in albumin levels after three days of treatment including IV albumin and dietary protein.

This case report describes a rare instance of tuberculous lymphadenitis in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting the potential link between immune suppression and tuberculosis risk.
