    Abstract **Introduction:** We report an unusual case of cutaneous fusariosis in a kidney transplant recipient. *Fusarium* species are emerging fungal pathogens that pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. In severely immunocompromised patients, fusarial infections are associated with high mortality in the case of systemic dissemination. **Case presentation:** A 69-year-old black male with a history of renal transplantation presented with recurrent purulent nodules and painful ulcers of the left lower leg. Based on repeated skin biopsies, focally invasive skin infection with *Fusarium solani* was proven histologically and microbiologically. After four months of treatment with oral voriconazole, lesions considerably improved. When the patient died one month later from Covid-19 pneumonia under continued antifungal therapy, there was no evidence of systemic fusariosis or fusarial superinfection. **Conclusion:** Although rare, fusarial infections should be considered in immunocompromised individuals such as solid organ transplant recipients. Therefore, skin lesions in this patient population should be examined accurately. Histopathological and microbiological workups, including fungal cultures, are necessary for diagnosis and timely initiation of targeted therapy. Systemic antifungal therapy with voriconazole is the treatment of choice for focally invasive fusariosis.

    Abstract Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) are two subgroups of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL), which belong to the extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas. These are rare diseases whose etiology is still not fully understood. Regarding pathogenesis, mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome derive from different T-helper cell types and are therefore considered two separate entities according to the current concept. Mycosis fungoides is clinically characterized by patch, plaque and tumor stages, although the disease can also manifest as erythroderma. Sézary syndrome is characterized by the presence of erythroderma, defined as redness of the skin covering >80% of the total body surface area. In the blood count of patients with mycosis fungoides, a T-lymphocytosis, especially with CD4-positive cells, can only be observed in advanced stage IV. One of the typical histological findings is an epidermotropic infiltrate of atypical, CD4-positive T-cells. Characteristic features of Sézary syndrome include atypical T lymphocytes (Sézary cells) in the blood and skin infiltrate. The diagnosis of both mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome is based on clinical, histological and hematological examinations as well as imaging techniques. Staging is based on the tumor-node-metastasis-blood (TNMB) classification and is a crucial factor in determining the prognosis. The treatment of mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome is carried out according to the stage, whereby local therapies such as UVB phototherapy are used as well as systemic forms of treatment, and in addition, in recent years, targeted therapies have increasingly become part of everyday clinical practice.

    Abstract Vitamin D deficiency is common and widespread globally. Vitamin D has an immunomodulatory effect, but it is still unclear whether its deficiency is associated with higher disease activity. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the serum concentration of vitamin D in children with paediatric arthritis (juvenile idiopathic arthritis and reactive arthritis). Prevalence of hypo-vitaminosis D among 98 children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and reactive arthritis was determined and association between serum concentration of vitamin D and disease activity markers was found. Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among children included in this study was 69.07%. Children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis had a significantly lower vitamin D level than children with reactive arthritis. There was a statistically significant moderate negative correlation between serum concentration of vitamin D and patient age, as well as a weak negative correlation between vitamin D level and patient body mass index. The significant correlations found between vitamin D level and inflammatory markers indicate that further research on the role of vitamin D in disease activity is needed.

    Abstract BACKGROUND Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for most patients with end-stage renal disease. To improve patient and transplant survival, non-invasive diagnostic methods for different pathologies are important. Leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein (LRG-1) is an innovative biomarker that is elevated in cases of angiogenesis, inflammation, and kidney injury. However, there are limited data about the diagnostic role of LRG-1 in kidney transplant recipients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between serum LRG-1, urine LRG-1, and kidney transplant function and injury. MATERIAL AND METHODS We enrolled 35 kidney transplant recipients in the study. LRG-1 in the serum and urine was detected using ELISA. We evaluated the correlation of serum and urine LRG-1 with traditional serum and urine kidney injury markers. RESULTS A higher level of serum LRG-1 correlates with a higher level of urine LRG-1. Serum LRG-1 has a positive correlation with transplant age, serum urea, serum creatinine, serum cystatin C, proteinuria, and fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) and a negative correlation with hemoglobin and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Urine LRG-1 has a positive correlation with serum cystatin C, proteinuria, and urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL). CONCLUSIONS Higher levels of serum and urine LRG-1 are associated with kidney transplant injury and functional deterioration. Thus, LRG-1 might be also as a biomarker for tubular dysfunction in patients after kidney transplantation.
