Dear Editor,We read the article by Badier et al. entitled “IgA vasculitis in adult patients following vaccination by ChadOx1 nCoV-19”, published in Autoimmunity Reviews with interest. (1) We share the author's view that the COVID-19 vaccine could be the trigger of IgA vasculitis in the reported case. At our secondary/tertiary rheumatology centre, we have been… Continue reading Immune mediated events timely associated with COVID-19 vaccine.

Auto-immune #hepatitis following #COVID vaccination
Unprecedented loss of life due to the COVID pandemic has necessitated the development of several vaccines in record time. Most of these vaccines have received approval without being extensively whetted for their adverse effect and efficacy profiles. Most adverse effects have been mild, nonetheless, more serious thromboembolic events have also been reported. Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH)… Continue reading Auto-immune #hepatitis following #COVID vaccination
#Anticardiolipin and other #antiphospholipid antibodies in critically ill #COVID-19 positive and negative patients
Reports of severe COVID-19 being associated with thrombosis, antiphospholipid antibodies (APLA), and antiphospholipid syndrome have yielded disparate conclusions. Studies comparing patients with COVID-19 with contemporaneous controls of similar severity are lacking. Methods 22 COVID-19+ and 20 COVID-19– patients with respiratory failure admitted to intensive care were studied longitudinally. Demographic and clinical data were obtained from… Continue reading #Anticardiolipin and other #antiphospholipid antibodies in critically ill #COVID-19 positive and negative patients
Association of Maternal #Autoimmune Disease With #Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Children
Maternal autoimmune disease has been associated with increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring, but few studies have assessed the association with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).. ..In the population-based cohort analysis, 831 718 singleton, term infants born to 831 718 mothers (mean [SD] age, 29.8 [5.6] years) were assessed. Of 12 767 infants (1.5%) who were linked to a… Continue reading Association of Maternal #Autoimmune Disease With #Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Children
Cardiac #Autoimmunity Is Associated With Subclinical Myocardial Dysfunction in Patients With Type 1 #Diabetes Mellitus
The existence of a diabetic cardiomyopathy has been postulated to explain the increased risk of heart failure (HF) in patients with diabetes mellitus; however, whether mechanisms specific to type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) affect the myocardium is unclear. We have recently shown that poor glycemic control in patients with T1DM followed in the DCCT (Diabetes… Continue reading Cardiac #Autoimmunity Is Associated With Subclinical Myocardial Dysfunction in Patients With Type 1 #Diabetes Mellitus
