PURPOSE Patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) have an increased risk for comorbid autoimmune diseases. In this retrospective multicenter study of CSU patients, we evaluated clinical and laboratory features of CSU associated with a higher risk of comorbid autoimmune diseases. METHODS We analyzed records of CSU patients (n = 1,199) for a history or presence of autoimmune diseases. Patients were diagnosed with type IIb autoimmune CSU (aiCSU) if all 3 tests were positive: autologous serum skin test (ASST), basophil histamine release assay (BHRA) and/or basophil activation test (BAT), and IgG autoantibodies against FceRIα/IgE detected by immunoassay. RESULTS Twenty-eight percent of C…
DYSMICROBISM, INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE AND THYROIDITIS: ANALYSIS OF THE LITERATURE
2015
The human body is colonized by a large number of microbes that are collectively referred to as the microbiota. They interact with the hosting organism and some do contribute to the physiological maintenance of the general good health thru regulation of some metabolic processes while some others are essential for the synthesis of vitamins and short-chain fatty acids. The abnormal variation, in the quality and/or quantity of individual bacterial species residing in the gastro-intestinal tract, is called dysmicrobism. The immune system of the host will respond to these changes at the intestinal mucosa level which could lead to Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). This inflammatory immune respo…

Selenium and Autoimmune Thyroiditis
2019
The essential mineral, selenium, is of fundamental importance to human health. As a constituent of selenoproteins, selenium has structural and enzymic roles, in the latter context being best-known as an antioxidant and catalyst for the production of active thyroid hormone. Selenium is needed for the proper functioning of the immune system. An elevated selenium intake may be associated with reduced cancer risk
SELENIUM AND AUTOIMMUNE THYROIDITIS
2023
Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element of pivotal importance to human health. Se is incorporated into selenoproteins (SePs) which have pleiotropic effects, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and in the production of active thyroid hormone. These findings may explain the relationship between Se deficiency and pathogenesis of various human diseases including thyroid disorder. In line with these observations, the therapeutic effectiveness of Se supplementation has already been reported in patients with various thyroid diseases. However, there are still controversial data about the optimal dose of Se to be administered, as well as the duration and efficacy of treatment an…
P609 New and old criteria for diagnosing celiac disease
2019
Background CD is an immune-mediated systemic disease elicited by gluten and related prolamines, it affects genetically susceptible individuals and it is characterized by the presence of gluten-dependent clinical manifestations, CD-specific antibodies, HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 haplotypes and enteropathy. According to the guidelines published by ESPGHAN in 2012, it is possible to diagnose celiac disease without intestinal biopsy, in symptomatic children and adolescents with very high levels of transglutaminases type-2 antibodies and positive HLA DQ2/DQ8. Aims The aim of our study is to analyse two groups of patients: one in which diagnosis was based on the new ESPGHAN criteria, and another based on…
2018 Consensus of the French Society of Endocrinology: endocrine toxicities of cancer immunotherapies
2019
Immunotherapy induced side effects: Are frequent, usually well-tolerated, and can lead to thyroid, pituitary, and less frequently adrenals and pancreas (fulminant diabetes) disease,. Do not contra-indicate immunotherapy, and rarely require high dose glucocorticoids; Need to be screened for, as there are acute manifestations, and replacement treatments can be given lifelong; Require a pre-immunotherapy evaluation; Require a careful follow-up at least during the first 6 months of immunotherapy.

Type 1 Diabetes and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease—The Genetic Link
2021
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) are the most frequent chronic autoimmune diseases worldwide. Several autoimmune endocrine and non-endocrine disorders tend to occur together. T1D and AITD often cluster in individuals and families, seen in the formation of autoimmune polyendocrinopathy (AP). The close relationship between these two diseases is largely explained by sharing a common genetic background. The HLA antigens DQ2 (DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201) and DQ8 (DQA1*0301-DQB1*0302), tightly linked with DR3 and DR4, are the major common genetic predisposition. Moreover, functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (or rare variants) of various genes, such as the cytotoxic T-lym…
