In addition to the severe symptoms in the acute phase, it is accompanied by long-term complications and sequelae involving the respiratory, neurological, immune, circulatory, and gastrointestinal systems for several months or even years, which is called the Long COVID. Many studies have suggested that systemic chronic inflammation caused by residual viral components may be one of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of Long COVID. In this paper, we will review the autoimmune diseases caused by chronic inflammation. In particular, cytokine storminess, pro-inflammatory responses of inflammatory vesicles, mast cell activation syndrome, changes in the gut microbiota, molecular mimicry, reactivation of latent viruses, and coagulation abnormalities are among the pathways that contribute to autoimmune diseases, including Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Guillain-Barré syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis. We intervene in the treatment of the disease with probiotics, immunoglobulins, the RECOVER clinical trial model, and immunomodulatory drugs. The aim is to enhance understanding of the pathophysiological mechanism of Long COVID and to provide a reference for the immunotherapy of patients.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8664,"journal":{"name":"Autoimmunity reviews","volume":"24 10","pages":"Article 103882"},"PeriodicalIF":9.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144666970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abnormalities in the thymus are common in AChR-MG, and thymectomy has proven to be therapeutically beneficial. Up to 30 % of AChR-MG patients have also thymoma.

A small selection of patients has been used to exemplify the individual relationship between autoantibody levels and disease progression. The study of the effector functions of the autoantibodies and the compensatory mechanisms at the NMJ are important to select the best treatment strategy for each patient. Even though classical immunomodulatory treatments are effective in many patients, around 10–20 % of patients do not respond to current therapies.

Despite advances in treatment, the definition of remission and low disease activity (LDA) in IIM remains inconsistent and lacks consensus and validation. This review summarizes existing published definitions, achievement rates, and predictive factors of remission/LDA in adult IIM, focusing on dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), anti-synthetase syndrome (ASyS), and immune-mediated necrotizing myopathies (IMNM). Our literature review revealed a wide variability in remission definitions, incorporating physician assessment, muscle strength, laboratory normalization, and medication tapering or discontinuation. Some studies defined “remission on medication”, while others required complete treatment cessation. Most definitions required a minimum duration of six months. Organ-specific remission (including for the skin, lung, and muscle domains) was inconsistently addressed. LDA has been less extensively studied in IIM, with the myositis disease activity assessment visual analog scales (MYOACT) being the only measure applied to DM. Remission rates varied widely, with stricter criteria yielding lower rates. Factors associated with remission included younger age, early immunosuppressive treatment, non-severe muscle involvement, the absence of myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSA), although some studies reported positivity for certain MSA were associated with remission. Conversely, remission was less likely for patients with PM, overlap myositis, and those positive for anti-TIF1-γ or Ku autoantibodies. Standardized remission criteria incorporating physician assessment, patient assessment, organ-specific parameters, laboratory assessments, and sustained remission duration are essential for harmonizing clinical and research evaluations in IIM. Establishing uniform definitions will improve therapeutic outcome assessments and facilitate meaningful comparisons in clinical trials and real-world practice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8664,"journal":{"name":"Autoimmunity reviews","volume":"24 10","pages":"Article 103879"},"PeriodicalIF":9.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144648354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our objective is not to refute the importance of vaccines, but to raise awareness about potential risks observed in autoimmune patients by analyzing CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) data. The sex distribution analysis in vaccine adverse events highlights a consistent female predominance across most autoimmune conditions. We designed machine learning predictive classification models by identifying key predictors to predict severe adverse events (hospitalization or death) following vaccination based on clinical and demographic predictors including age, sex, vaccine type, dose series, and vaccine route. Our models identified distinct risk profiles for severe events across diseases. Example AUC values ranged from 0.90 for dermatomyositis and GBS to 0.98 for Psoriatic Arthritis with accuracy 96% observed for ankylosing spondylitis. Vasculitis and Sjögren’s showed peak precision scores, while polymyositis showed peak recall (97%). Moreover, the reported adverse events in the first week and after the 6th week of vaccine administration are one order of magnitude larger than reported incidents in other time intervals for all diseases. Understanding these differences can inform safer vaccination strategies. We recognize the essential public health role of vaccines and underscore the importance of vigilant post-vaccination monitoring in autoimmune populations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8664,"journal":{"name":"Autoimmunity reviews","volume":"24 10","pages":"Article 103857"},"PeriodicalIF":9.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144706115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
