Ferritin is a complex protein composite (iron protein) that plays the role of main intracellular iron depot in humans and animals, consisting apoferritin ferric atom composition phosphate hydroxide. The reference value ferritin women 200 μg/l, men – 300 μg/l. marker total body stores, low levels are specific for deficiency. also involved immune processes has both pro-inflammatory immunosuppress...

Background:Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a rare temporally related to severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). MIS-C shares similarities with Kawasaki disease, but left ventricular dysfunction more common MIS-C.

Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), which restores specific immune responses, may paradoxically cause an inflammatory reaction known as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). We report a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome, who presented Molluscum contagiosum as IRIS after HAART, the first case in Korea.

Highly active antiretroviral therapy for AIDS sometimes engenders inflammatory manifestations resulting from an inappropriate and unbalanced immune-system restoration, called Immune Reconstitution inflammatory Syndrome, which, in turn, can unmask a subclinical infection/pathology. Despite our patient's evident syndrome, the atypical clinical, microbiologic and radiologic feature of Pneumocystis...

The recognition that neutrophils, macrophages, and other components of the inflammatory cascade participate in the generation and progression of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome has resulted in the use of anti-inflammatory agents in an attempt to attenuate this inflammatory response and to prevent further progression of the acute lung injury. The recent finding that cytokin...

We present a case of a 39 years old male patient with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) who developed Mycobacterium tuberculosis related Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS) after initiation of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) treatment. The inflammatory response resulted in mediastinal necrotic lymphadenopathy and subsequent perforation of the esophageal wall.

Talaromyces marneffei infection is a major cause of death in HIV-infected individuals in South and Southeast Asia. Talaromycosis immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome has not been well described. Here we report the clinical features, management, and outcomes of three HIV-infected patients with talaromycosis-associated paradoxical immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome in Ho Chi Minh ...

Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a rare but serious medical condition, which classified within the blistering diseases of skin and mucous membranes. It characterized by severe generalized immune-mediated inflammatory reaction, predominantly affecting membranes, such as eyes, mouth genitalia.

Eight of 11 patients who satisfy Smythe's criteria for the 'fibrositis' syndrome have subsequently developed carpal tunnel syndrome. Six of the 8 patients have gone on to develop an inflammatory polyarthritis, 3 of whom are seropositive and satisfy the criteria for classical rheumatoid arthritis. The relationship between the 'fibrositis' syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis is not clear, but the a...
