Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD)- TAFRO (thrombocytopenia, ascites, fever, reticulin fibrosis and organomegaly) is a clinically severe situation characterized by cytokine storms that are potentially fatal, necessitating prompt and decisive medical intervention. The International Castleman's Disease Collaborative Network (CDCN) prioritizes the combination of long-term siltuximab and high-dose steroids as the preferred therapeutic option for iMCD-TAFRO. Here, we report a rare case of spontaneous remission in iMCD-TAFRO. In this case, the patient diagnosed with iMCD-TAFRO experienced alleviation of clinical symptoms and normalization of laboratory test results without undergoing any etiological treatment. This case sheds new light on the therapeutic strategies for iMCD-TAFRO. Following the stabilization of the onset cytokine storm, a detailed evaluation of the patient's condition should be performed to determine the need for continuous medical treatment.

Background: Complete hydatidiform mole with a coexisting fetus (CMCF) is a rare form of twin pregnancy associated with high maternal and perinatal risks, posing complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. The standard approach ranges from termination of pregnancy to conservative management to fetal viability. Recent evidence suggests that spontaneous regression of molar tissue may occur, supporting conservative treatment in selected cases.

Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) is an autoimmune disorder in which autoantibodies target the patient's own red blood cells. It can be classified as either idiopathic (primary) or secondary and is characterized by the presence of pan-reactive immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies that recognize epitopes on erythrocyte membrane proteins such as band 3 and Rh polypeptides. Spontaneous remission is rare, and corticosteroids are commonly used as first-line therapy.

Introduction: Cases of spontaneous control of HIV-1 can help define strategies to induce remission. Since the identification of viral control in the absence of treatment typically occurs after a prolonged period post-HIV-1 diagnosis, our knowledge of the early events after HIV-1 acquisition that led to viral control is limited.
Methods: The RV217 prospective cohort enrolled 2276 participants in East Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania) and Thailand between 2009 and 2015.

: The therapeutic response in Graves' Disease (GD) remains largely unpredictable. Patients often experience persistent symptoms that are poorly correlated with thyroid hormone levels, an undefined treatment duration, and the need for long-term or definitive therapies. Based on the nuclear antagonistic properties of L-carnitine (LCT) on thyroid hormone action and the immunomodulatory role of selenium (Se), we aimed to assess the impact of adding a combined LCT and Se supplement to standard methimazole (MMI) therapy on the biochemical profile and quality of life (QoL) of patients with overt GD.

: Rendu-Osler disease is a rare genetic disease, characterized by widespread telangiectasia that can involve the skin and mucous membranes. The diagnosis is based on spontaneous and recurrent epistaxis; various mucosal and cutaneous telangiectasia at typical sites; visceral manifestations including gastrointestinal telangiectasia or pulmonary, cerebral, or hepatic arteriovenous malformation; and a first-degree relative with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx generally develops in patients with a smoking history.
