Article Synopsis
- Systemic immunomodulatory agents are used to treat moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, but their use before surgery may raise the risk of infections and complications.
- The study aimed to assess the risk of surgical site infections (SSI) in patients with autoimmune diseases who are on various immunomodulatory drugs and undergoing surgery.
- Findings suggest that for low-risk surgeries, many immunomodulatory treatments, such as TNF-α inhibitors and methotrexate, can be safely continued, while for more complex surgeries, a careful evaluation is recommended before continuing their use.

Objective: Blood microbiome has been analyzed in cancer patients using machine learning. We aimed to study whether the plasma microbiome represents the microbial community in the gut among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and healthy controls (HCs).
Methods: Paired plasma and stool samples from female patients with SLE and female HCs were assessed for microbiome composition by microbial 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing.
