Article Synopsis
- Some myopathies can cause dropped head or bent spine syndrome (DH/BS), but its significance in inflammatory myopathies (IM) hasn't been thoroughly explored.
- A study compared 49 patients with DH/BS related to IM to 98 control IM patients, finding that those with DH/BS were older and had more severe symptoms, including upper limb weakness, dysphagia, and muscle atrophy.
- The results suggest that DH/BS serves as a marker for the severity of IM and is often linked to complications related to systemic sclerosis, highlighting its clinical importance.
Molecular Detection of in Plasma and Urine Samples from Hospitalized Patients Presenting with a Serologically Confirmed Acute Hantavirus Infection in France.
J Clin Microbiol
August 2023
Molecular detection of Orthohantavirus puumalaense (PUUV) RNA during the course of the disease has been studied in blood of patients in Sweden and Slovenia. The use of urine has been poorly investigated. The aims of this work were to study PUUV RNA detection in plasma from a cohort of patients in France where a different PUUV lineage circulates and to assess the use of urine instead of plasma.

In the context of the global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, we describe a case series of patients who developed IgAV following SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Methods: This national multicenter retrospective study included patients with IgAV following SARS-CoV-2 infection from January 1, 2020, to January 1, 2022.
Article Synopsis
- Aseptic abscess (AA) syndrome is an uncommon inflammatory disorder often linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), analyzed in a study involving 71 patients from 1999 to 2020.
- The majority of abscesses were found in the spleen and lymph nodes, with many patients also presenting with other illnesses, primarily IBD, and treated with medications like corticosteroids and immunosuppressants.
- More than half of the patients experienced relapses, particularly in the same organ, but colchicine was noted to decrease the risk of relapse, while no deaths were attributed to the syndrome.
We conducted a multicenter, retrospective cohort study of hospitalized patients with serologically proven nephropathia epidemica (NE) living in Ardennes Department, France, during 2000-2014 to develop a bioclinical test predictive of severe disease. Among 205 patients, 45 (22.0%) had severe NE.

Methods: We collected retrospective and prospective data for patients with a diagnosis of KD occurring after the age of 18 years.
