Autoimmune cytopenias are rare but clinically significant complications that increase morbidity and complicate management of these diseases. Current therapies, including glucocorticoids and conventional immunosuppressants, may be limited by intolerance or inadequate hematologic response. Type I interferon (IFN) signaling has emerged as a key pathogenic pathway, and its blockade represents a novel therapeutic approach. We describe a 39-year-old woman with MCTD and clinical features of systemic sclerosis, presenting with Raynaud's phenomenon, digital ischemic ulcers, esophageal involvement, and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Her disease course was complicated by progressive cytopenia, including leukopenia, severe lymphopenia, mild anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Azathioprine therapy led to worsening pancytopenia, necessitating discontinuation, while glucocorticoids provided only partial hematologic recovery. Subsequent treatment with mycophenolate was ineffective. Introduction of anifrolumab (300 mg IV every 4 weeks) resulted in hematologic improvement, with normalization of hemoglobin and stabilization of leukocyte and platelet counts, without infusion-related adverse events. The findings support type I IFN blockade as a promising therapeutic avenue in refractory hematologic manifestations of connective tissue disease, warranting further investigation in larger studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":21222,"journal":{"name":"Reumatismo","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148831980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients with significant comorbidities or who received previous treatment within two years after HyalOne®/Hyalubrix® 60 were excluded.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>This retrospective observational non-controlled study showed that intra-articular injections with HyalOne®/Hyalubrix® 60 were well tolerated and may help maintain clinical and radiographic stability in patients with hip OA. At 2-year follow-up, the K-L grade remained stable in 72 hips (92.31%). Symptom reduction was also observed, supporting lower NSAID consumption and the avoidance of the related adverse events.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>These results are clinically meaningful and support the treatment with HyalOne® as a valuable background therapy for maintaining clinical and radiographic stability in patients with hip OA.</p>","PeriodicalId":21222,"journal":{"name":"Reumatismo","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147309591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
