Severe dermatomyositis triggered by interferon beta-1a therapy and associated with enhanced type I interferon signaling.
BACKGROUND Type I interferons (IFNs) are common therapeutics for several diseases, including viral infections and multiple sclerosis (MS). Although numerous studies have implicated type I INFs with the production of autoantibodies and the development of certain autoimmune disorders, interferon beta has not previously been described in association with dermatomyositis, to our knowledge.

متن کاملHalo Nevi Associated With Interferon Beta-1a Therapy
The interferons are a group of more than 20 glycoproteins produced by numerous body cells in response to the presence of viruses, double-stranded RNA, polypeptides, or bacterial products. All of them share the ability to inhibit viral replication and cell proliferation, and to regulate and modulate immune cells. From an immunologic point of view, interferons increase the expression of class I o...

متن کاملSecondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis possibly induced by interferon beta-1a therapy.
A 57-year old woman with a history of multiple sclerosis, treated with interferon beta-1a in the last 5 months, was referred for hyperpyrexia (>40°C) that persisted for 15 days. At admission, there was elevation of transaminases, anemia (hemoglobin 8.9 g/dL), thrombocytopenia (platelet 135,000/mm3), and hypofibrinogenemia (fibrinogen 1.26 g/L). C-reactive protein was 10.7 mg/dL, lactate dehy...
