Immune reconstitution syndrome and the thyroid

Weetman, Anthony·2009·Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism

Abstract

Reconstitution Graves' disease occurs in three settings. First, bone marrow transplantation from a donor with Graves' disease may cause this disease to appear in the recipient, as a result of adoptive immunity, although disordered immunoregulation secondary to graft-versus-host disease may also play a role. Second, alemtuzumab treatment for multiple sclerosis leads to the development of Graves' disease in up to a third of patients during the phase of naive T-cell expansion, which follows therapeutic lymphocyte depletion. Other reconstitution autoimmune phenomena, including immune thrombocytopaenic purpura, are also recognised after alemtuzumab administration. Finally, reconstitution Graves' disease may occur during a similar phase of CD4(+) T-cell expansion, which follows highly active antiretroviral therapy for human immunodeficiency virus infection. Again, this complication is part of a broader spectrum of immunoregulatory disturbances, which can arise after immune reconstitution. The mechanisms responsible for reconstitution Graves' disease are at present unclear, but may include a relative bias towards a Th2-mediated immune response and reduced competition for autoreactive lymphocytes to expand during the time when recovery from lymphopenia commences.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Secondary autoimmunity following allogeneic BMT/HSCT arises by additional mechanisms distinguishing it from other IRTs, including adoptive immunity and graft-versus-host disease with loss of regulation of autoreactive T lymphocytes.

    “Secondary autoimmunity following allogeneic BMT/HSCT arises by additional mechanisms distinguishing it from the other IRTs including: (1) adoptive immunity, that is transferral of autoreactive lymphocyte clones from the donor to the recipient and (2) graft-versus-host disease with the loss of regulation of autoreactive T lymphocytes previously kept under control by peripheral immune tolerance [11,”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
