Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is an inflammatory skin manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Type I interferons (IFNs) promote inflammatory responses and are elevated in CLE lesions. We recently reported that CLE lesions are frequently colonized with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Here, we follow up in a proof-of-concept study to investigate whether type I IFN and inflammatory gene signatures in CLE lesions can be modulated with mupirocin, a topical antibiotic treatment against S. aureus-mediated skin infections.

Two randomized trials for patients with diffuse systemic sclerosis (SSc) demonstrated an overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) advantage of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) using CD34+ selected peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) compared to monthly cyclophosphamide. We asked if an unmodified PBSC graft followed by maintenance mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) after AHSCT, instead of CD34+ selected graft, could provide comparable AHSCT outcomes.

Syndrome of Undifferentiated Recurrent Fevers (SURF) is characterized by recurrent fevers and autoinflammation without a confirmed molecular diagnosis of a Hereditary Recurrent Fever syndrome (HRF), and not fulfilling criteria for Periodic Fever, Adenitis, Pharyngitis, Aphthous stomatitis syndrome (PFAPA). The goal of this study was to characterize clinical features of SURF patients compared to PFAPA, and to analyze their cytokine signature, genetic variations, and responses to treatment.
