acute and unspecified renal failure, and type 1 diabetes207. Infants born to women who had COVID-19 during pregnancy were more likely to receive a neurodevelopmental diagnosis in the first year after delivery208. A paediatric long COVID centre’s experience treating patients suggests that adolescent...
vaccine performance is affected by the constant acquisition of viral mutations due to the inherent high error rate of virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and the existence of a highly variable receptor-binding motif in the spike (S) protein.11,12,13We have previously...
The benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks in patients with AIIRD, including SLE. More data are needed to determine the necessity of a booster vaccine dose and appropriate adjustment of immunosuppressants around the administration of vaccine....
Immunocompromised individuals, including those receiving immunosuppressant therapy, may have a diminished immune response to the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine. Limitations of Vaccine Effectiveness The Novavax COVID-19 vaccine may not protect all vaccine recipients against COVID-19. ...
Vaccine design is one of the crucial steps in developing an optimum immune response [34]. It depends on the antigen and platform selection, the need for adjuvants, the formulation, and the route of administration [35]. In the case of COVID-19 vaccines, the SARS-CoV-2 structure contains ...
MS management includes three different methods. The first method relies on treating acute attacks (relapses), predominantly by administration of corticosteroids and plasmapheresis. The second method includes disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) with the use of immunomodulators and immunosuppressants. The thir...
several additional trials are in progress 175 . there is a wide range of possible treatment options from me/cfs covering various mechanisms, including improving natural killer cell function, removing autoantibodies, immunosuppressants, antivirals for reactivated herpesviruses, antioxidants, mitochondrial suppo...
by people on immune suppressing drugs are high enough to protect them from severe COVID-19, the researchers said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently recommended that people taking immunosuppressants receive a third dose of the vaccine to strengthen their immune responses....

People who received two doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine while on TNF inhibitors—a class of immunosuppressants used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune conditions—generated less powerful and shorter-lived antibodies against the virus that causes COVID-19 than healthy people and...
