    Abstract Background: The immunopathological pathways enabling post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) syndrome (PCS) development are not entirely known. We underwent a longitudinal analysis of patients with COVID-19 who developed PCS aiming to evaluate the autoimmune and immunological status associated with this condition.
    Methods: Thirty-three patients were included for longitudinal clinical and autoantibody analyses, 12 of whom were assessed for cytokines and lymphocyte populations. Patients were followed for 7-11 months after acute COVID-19. Autoimmune profile and immunological statuses were evaluated mainly by enzyme-linked-immunosorbent assays and flow cytometry.
    Results: Latent autoimmunity and overt autoimmunity persisted over time. A proinflammatory state was observed in patients with PCS characterized by up-regulated interferon-α, tumor necrosis factor-α, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), interleukin (IL)-17A, IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-13, whereas interferon-γ-induced protein 10 (IP-10) was decreased. In addition, PCS was characterized by increased levels of Th9, CD8+ effector T cells, naive B cells, and CD4+ effector memory T cells. Total levels of immunoglobulin G S1-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies remained elevated over time.
    Conclusions: The clinical manifestations of PCS are associated with the persistence of a proinflammatory and effector phenotype induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection. This long-term persistent immune activation may contribute to the development of latent and overt autoimmunity. Results suggest the need to evaluate the role of immunomodulation in the treatment of PCS.

    Abstract Autoimmunity has emerged as a characteristic of the post-COVID syndrome (PCS), which may be related to sex. In order to further investigate the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 and autoimmunity in PCS, a clinical and serological assessment on 100 patients was done. Serum antibody profiles against self-antigens and infectious agents were evaluated by an antigen array chip for 116 IgG and 104 IgM antibodies. Thirty pre-pandemic healthy individuals were included as a control group. The median age of patients was 49 years (IQR: 37.8 to 55.3). There were 47 males. The median post-COVID time was 219 (IQR: 143 to 258) days. Latent autoimmunity and polyautoimmunity were found in 83% and 62% of patients, respectively. Three patients developed an overt autoimmune disease. IgG antibodies against IL-2, CD8B, and thyroglobulin were found in more than 10% of the patients. Other IgG autoantibodies, such as anti-interferons, were positive in 5-10% of patients. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies were found in > 85% of patients and were positively correlated with autoantibodies, age, and body mass index (BMI). Few autoantibodies were influenced by age and BMI. There was no effect of gender on the over- or under-expression of autoantibodies. IgG anti-IFN-λ antibodies were associated with the persistence of respiratory symptoms. In summary, autoimmunity is characteristic of PCS, and latent autoimmunity correlates with humoral response to SARS-CoV-2.

    Abstract The target organ of neurological autoimmune diseases (NADs) is the central or peripheral nervous system. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common NAD, whereas Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), myasthenia gravis (MG), and neuromyelitis optica (NMO) are less common NADs, but the incidence of these diseases has increased exponentially in the last few years. The identification of a specific culprit in NADs is challenging since a myriad of triggering factors interplay with each other to cause an autoimmune response. Among the factors that have been associated with NADs are genetic susceptibility, epigenetic mechanisms, and environmental factors such as infection, microbiota, vitamins, etc. This review focuses on the most studied culprits as well as the mechanisms used by these to trigger NADs.

    Abstract Background: A paucity of predictive models assessing risk factors for COVID-19 mortality that extend beyond age and gender in Latino population is evident in the current academic literature.
    Objectives: To determine the associated factors with mortality, in addition to age and sex during the first year of the pandemic.
    Design: A case-control study with retrospective revision of clinical and paraclinical variables by systematic revision of clinical records was conducted. Multiple imputations by chained equation were implemented to account for missing variables. Classification and regression trees (CART) were estimated to evaluate the interaction of associated factors on admission and their role in predicting mortality during hospitalisation. No intervention was performed.
    Setting: High-complexity centre above 2640 m above sea level (masl) in Colombia.
    Participants: A population sample of 564 patients admitted to the hospital with confirmed COVID-19 by PCR. Deceased patients (n=282) and a control group (n=282), matched by age, sex and month of admission, were included.
    Main outcome measure: Mortality during hospitalisation.
    Main results: After the imputation of datasets, CART analysis estimated 11 clinical profiles based on respiratory distress, haemoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase, partial pressure of oxygen to inspired partial pressure of oxygen ratio, chronic kidney disease, ferritin, creatinine and leucocytes on admission. The accuracy model for prediction was 80.4% (95% CI 71.8% to 87.3%), with an area under the curve of 78.8% (95% CI 69.63% to 87.93%).
    Conclusions: This study discloses new interactions between clinical and paraclinical features beyond age and sex influencing mortality in COVID-19 patients. Furthermore, the predictive model could offer new clues for the personalised management of this condition in clinical settings.

    Abstract Objective: To determine the prevalence of thyroid autoantibodies and the associated factors in euthyroid subjects.
    Methods: 300 euthyroid subjects, chosen by stratified sampling from an inception cohort of 1335 individuals, were included. Thyroid function was evaluated by measuring the serum levels of TSH (0.3-4.5 μIU/mL) and FT4 (5.2-12.7μg/dL). Anti-peroxidase (TPOAbs), anti-thyroglobulin (TgAbs), and anti-TSH receptor (TrAbs) antibodies were evaluated with 23 additional autoantibodies as well as vitamin D (VitD) levels. The analysis included sociodemographic, clinical, and environmental characteristics. Data were analyzed by bivariate and multivariate tests.
    Results: Thyroid autoimmunity was observed in 15.3% of the subjects (TPOAbs 11.3% and TgAbs 2.0%). In six individuals, both autoantibodies were positive. TrAbs were not detected in any individual. Familial thyroid disease (β ​= ​3.4, 95% CI: 1.2-9.5,
    Conclusion: Latent thyroid autoimmunity is not rare. Environmental, genetic, and immunological factors as well as ancestry are associated risk factors. These results would facilitate the implementation of screening strategies in order to provide timely diagnosis and treatment.
