Abstract

Background Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is caused by B-cell hyperactivity, which stimulates the production of autoantibodies, leading to the formation of immune complexes and resulting in tissue damage. Increased B-cell activation is associated with disease activity in SLE. The cytokine B-cell Activating Factor (BAFF) and its soluble BAFF receptor (sBAFF-R) play a crucial role in B-cell activation and survival. Their serum levels may serve as potential biomarkers for SLE severity. This study aimed to compare serum levels of BAFF and sBAFF-R between SLE patients with mild, moderate, and severe disease activity. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 33 female SLE patients. Subjects were divided into mild, moderate, and severe disease activity groups. Disease activity was assessed using Mexican Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (MEX-SLEDAI) scores. Serum BAFF and sBAFF-R levels were measured using ELISA. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The median serum BAFF level in SLE patients was 0.51 ng/mL, and 4.66 ng/mL in sBAFF-R level.There was a statistically significant difference in serum BAFF and sBAFF-R levels between mild, moderate, and severe disease activity among SLE patients (p<0.0001). Conclusion Increased serum levels of BAFF and sBAFF-R may influence disease activity in SLE. Serum concentrations of BAFF and sBAFF-R were found to be associated with disease severity, including mild, moderate, and severe categories. These findings suggest that serum BAFF and sBAFF-R levels may serve as potential biomarkers for assessing SLE activity.

Abstract

Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is the most severe form of extrapulmonary TB, causing high morbidity and mortality. The Global TB 2022 report estimates that there are at least 100,000 people with MTB each year. In 2021, there were at least 13,400 MTB cases in Indonesia, or about 8% of the global estimate. To determine the characteristics of tuberculous meningitis patients at M. Djamil Padang Hospital in 2024. A descriptive study with cross-sectional method. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling by collecting medical record data of TBM patients at Dr. M. Djamil Padang Hospital in 2024. The number of samples that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria was 45 sample. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Univariate analysis was used to assess the characteristics of patient and presented in the form of a frequency distribution table. The average age of TBM patients in this study was 31 years, dominated by male gender (55.6%). Most of the TBM patients had normal nutritional status (64.4%) and only 17.8% of patients were underweight. Only 13.3% of TBM patients had a history of TB and 6.7% of patients had positive HIV status. Around 4.76% and 11.1% of patients had comorbid DM and hypertension. Most patients were in stage II BMRC (71.1%). Hydrocephalus was the most common CT Scan finding, which was 46.7%. Only 26.7% of patients died during treatment. Tuberculous meningitis is more common in men, with stage II BMRC, has hydrocephalus, and more than a quarter of MTB patients died during treatment.

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 infection has become a health problem throughout the world, including Indonesia with high rates of morbidity (more than 3 million confirmed case) and mortality (more than 80 thousand) due to COVID-19 since it was announced as pandemic in March 2020. Vaccination is one of the efforts to eliminate the pandemic, and just recently Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM) and Indonesian Government have granted approval for emergency use of messenger RNA (mRNA)-based vaccines. Allergic reactions after vaccination are rare adverse events, including severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) in mRNA vaccines is thought to be a hidden allergen that trigger allergies. Screening of individuals with a previous history of allergies is necessary to prevent reaction. Experienced health workers are also needed to provide adequate management in the event of a severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis after COVID-19 vaccination. Aim of this review is to look at the risk of allergy of mRNA vaccine SARS CoV-2; possible causes of allergies and management of individuals with severe allergies/anaphylaxis.

Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease that can affect many organs in the body with very diverse clinical appearances. The prevalence of SLE in each country varies. The Lupus Foundation of America estimates that around 1.5 million cases occur in America and at least 5 million cases occur worldwide. The pathophysiology of SLE is very complex. The involvement of innate and adaptive immunity in the initiation and pathophysiology of SLE disease shows that there are interactions between leukocytes, cytokines, chemokines and tissue cells. T cells are the main component of the adaptive immune system which can kill infected host cells, activate other immune cells, produce cytokines and regulate immune responses. T cell dysfunction in SLE includes triggering inflammation through the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, helping B cells produce autoantibodies and the accumulation of autoreactive T cells. Aberrations in T cells could be a therapeutic target for development and a potential SLE therapy.

Abstract

BackgroundAccording to the WHO, 38 million people suffer from HIV worldwide and according to the HIV Drug Resistance Report, the prevalence of antiretroviral therapy (ART) resistance is 3-29%. Drug resistance-associated mutations (DRAMs) are the presence of one or more HIV mutations that reduce the ability of certain drugs to inhibit viral replication and that will increase viral replication and HIV RNA, which can lead to therapeutic failure. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of HIV-1 DRAMs among patients with chronic HIV-1 infections and to compare HIV RNA viral load between M184V and K103N mutations. Methods A cross-sectional was conducted involving 80 patients with HIV who met the inclusion criteria. The study subjects were examined for genotype and HIV RNA viral load, both using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Data were analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results The overall drug resistance mutation prevalence was 10.0%. The most common mutations were M184V and K103N. There was a significant difference between the median HIV RNA viral load counts in patients with either M184V or K103N, and with both M184V and K103N mutations, the values being 45.420, 13.207, and 97.517 copies/mL, respectively (p<0.001). Conclusion The HIV RNA viral load count was higher in the mutation group than in the group without mutation. Long-term and ongoing surveillance of HIV DRAMs among these patients is necessary, which will help us to adjust the treatment regimen.
