متن کاملImmunoadsorption in lupus myocarditis.
Reduction of pathological autoantibodies may be useful in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). On the other hand clinically manifested myocarditis in SLE, though uncommon, may be life-threatening and its pathogenesis has been ascribed to autoimmunity. The aim of this study is to present a rare case of a patient with severe lupus myocarditis, where immunoadsorption (IA) was evalu...
متن کاملImmunoadsorption therapy in autoimmune encephalitides
OBJECTIVE It was hypothesized that in encephalitides with autoantibodies directed to CNS surface antigens an antibody-removing intervention might speed up recovery. METHODS The outcome of autoimmune encephalitis in 19 patients with antibodies against surface antigens (leucine-rich, glioma inactivated 1 [LGI1], n = 3; contactin-associated protein-2 [CASPR2], n = 4; NMDA receptor [NMDAR], n = 7...
متن کاملReduction of plasma levels of soluble tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-2 receptors by means of a novel immunoadsorption column.
This non-randomized open clinical study investigated the safety and efficacy of extracorporeal fractionated plasma adsorption using the Oncosorb immune adsorption column. The column selectively bound soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors 1 and 2 (sTNF-R1 and sTNF-R2) and soluble interleukin-2 receptors (sIL2-R) by lowering plasma levels in patients with metastatic cancer. Nine patients (three...
متن کاملProtein A immunoadsorption column versus splenectomy in the treatment of steroid-resistant immune thrombocytopenic purpura. A cost-effectiveness analysis.
The protein A immunoadsorption column is a new treatment for immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). We used a decision-analytic approach with a Markov process to model the cost effectiveness of this treatment compared with splenectomy for steroid-resistant ITP patients. Data informing the model were obtained from published literature, a panel of physicians, and public databases. We found initia...
