Tofacitinib After Live Shingles Vaccination Does Not Impair Immunogenicity

August 29, 2017 • By Reuters Staff

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—Tofacitinib begun two to three weeks after live zoster vaccination does not impair immunogenicity, and vaccination appears to be safe in patients with pre-existing varicella zoster virus (VZV) immunity, researchers report. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are about twice as likely as healthy adults to develop herpes zoster, or shingles, and the… [Read More]

Shingles Vaccination Not at Goal Levels for U.S. Seniors

November 28, 2016 • By Madeline Kennedy

(Reuters Health)—Just one in five people over age 60 in the U.S. have been vaccinated against a painful eruption of herpes zoster (shingles), despite recommendations that all of them should get the shot. It’s estimated that among people over age 50, one in three will eventually develop shingles. After age 80, half of adults have… [Read More]

Project Increases Pneumococcal Vaccination Rates in Rheumatology Patients

August 26, 2015 • By Will Boggs, MD

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—A multicomponent intervention can significantly increase pneumococcal vaccination rates in pediatric rheumatology patients, researchers report. “The interventions outlined in our article can easily be implemented in pediatric rheumatology practices or other subspecialty clinics,” Dr. Julia G. Harris from Children’s Mercy Hospital, Kansas City, Mo., told Reuters Health by email. “It takes additional… [Read More]

Study Implicates Epstein-Barr Virus in 7 Autoimmune Diseases

October 18, 2019 • By Mary Beth Nierengarten

The identification of specific transcription factors linked to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) provides new information on the molecular mechanisms underlying the link between EBV and autoimmune disease. A recently published study, “Transcrip­tion Factors Operate Across Disease Loci, with EBNA2 Implicated in Auto­immunity,” co-led by John B. Harley, MD, PhD; Leah C. Kottyan, PhD; and Matthew… [Read More]

Case Report: Diagnosing, Treating Hepatitis B-Linked Polyarteritis Nodosa

September 17, 2019 • By Naveen Raj, DO, & Lisa Duncan, MD

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) associated polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is an increasingly rare vasculitis in developed countries due to advances in HBV vaccination and antiviral therapy. However, the condition does persist, and rheumatologists should consider it when evaluating vasculitis cases. Below, we discuss a case that illustrates the varied clinical presentations PAN can encompass. A high… [Read More]

The Role of Autoreactive B Cells in Rheumatoid Arthritis

September 17, 2019 • By Catherine Kolonko

The body uses B cells to produce antibodies that can fight off infection by invading antigens and bacteria. But in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the immune system produces autoantibodies that work against the body’s proteins to attack joint tissues. Researchers believe this process is helped along by autoreactive B cells that live in bone matter and… [Read More]

Shingles Vaccine Not the Only Immunization Linked with Gout Flare

August 21, 2019 • By Marilynn Larkin

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—The recombinant shingles vaccine (RZV) is associated with an increased risk of gout flare, and a new study suggests other vaccines may trigger flares as well, researchers say. “Our findings are novel because for the first time, we have identified a trigger for gout flares that presumably acts through [an inflammatory] pathway,… [Read More]
