    Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to the emergence of multiple challenges in the care of patients with systemic rheumatic diseases. Patients with vasculitis represent a group of particular concern due to existing risk factors which include a higher burden of comorbidities and specific immunosuppressive therapies used for treatment. Vaccination and the use of other risk mitigation strategies are crucial for the care of these patients. This review provides an overview of existing evidence to contribute to the understanding and specific requirements of the treatment and management of patients with vasculitis during the time of COVID-19.

    Abstract Systemic vasculitides are autoimmune diseases characterized by vascular inflammation. Most types of vasculitis are thought to result from antigen exposure in genetically susceptible individuals, suggesting a likely role for environmental triggers in these conditions. Seasonal and geographic variations in incidence provide insight into the potential role of environmental exposures in these diseases. Many data support infectious triggers in some vasculitides, whereas other studies have identified noninfectious triggers, such as airborne pollutants, silica, smoking, and heavy metals. We review the known and suspected environmental triggers in giant cell arteritis, Takayasu arteritis, polyarteritis nodosa, Kawasaki disease, and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis.

    Abstract Purpose of review: To review the impact of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) on COVID-19 severity and vaccine immunogenicity and to discuss COVID-19 outcomes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
    Recent findings: Rituximab is associated with severe COVID-19 and impaired vaccine immunogenicity via its B cell-depleting mechanism. JAK inhibitors and glucocorticoids have been modestly associated with severe COVID-19 and impaired vaccine immunogenicity. TNF inhibitors may have a protective effect against severe COVID-19 and do not appear to affect vaccine immunogenicity. Clinical trials have shown improved seroconversion and antibody titers when methotrexate is held around vaccine doses, but this may yield increased risk of RA flare. Patients with RA are also impacted by DMARD disruption, RA flares, and post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 after COVID-19 infection. Given the risks of COVID-19, rituximab should be used with caution in RA. Holding methotrexate doses around COVID-19 vaccination improves immunogenicity but may increase RA flare risk.

    Abstract Purpose of review: To summarize the findings of studies investigating patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and risk of acute and postacute COVID-19 outcomes 3 years into the pandemic.
    Recent findings: Most studies early in the pandemic included all patients with systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs), not only those with RA, due to limited sample size. Many of these studies found that patients with SARDs were at higher risk of COVID-19 infection and severe outcomes, including hospitalization, hyperinflammation, mechanical ventilation, and death. Studies performed later were able to focus on RA and found similar associations, while also identifying RA-specific factors such as immunosuppressive medications, disease activity/severity, and interstitial lung disease as risk factors for severe COVID-19. After COVID-19 vaccination, the risks for COVID-19 infection and severity were reduced for patients with RA, but a gap between the general population persisted, and some patients with RA are susceptible to breakthrough infection after vaccination. Preexposure prophylaxis, effective treatments, and changes in viral variants have also contributed to improved COVID-19 outcomes throughout the pandemic. Emerging data suggest that patients with RA may be at risk for postacute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC).
    Summary: Although COVID-19 outcomes have improved over the pandemic for patients with RA, some experience poor acute and postacute outcomes after COVID-19. Clinicians and patients should remain vigilant about risk mitigation for infection and consider early treatment for RA patients with COVID-19. Future studies are needed to investigate clinical outcomes and mechanisms of PASC among patients with RA.

    Abstract IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an increasingly recognized cause of fibroinflammatory lesions in patients of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds and is associated with an increased risk of death. The aetiology of IgG4-RD is incompletely understood, but evidence to date suggests that B and T cells are important players in pathogenesis, both of which are key targets of ongoing drug development programmes. The diagnosis of IgG4-RD requires clinicopathological correlation because there is no highly specific or sensitive test. Glucocorticoids are highly effective, but their use is limited by toxicity, highlighting the need for studies investigating the efficacy of glucocorticoid-sparing agents. B cell-targeted therapies, particularly rituximab, have demonstrated benefit, but no randomized clinical trials have evaluated their efficacy. If untreated or under-treated, IgG4-RD can cause irreversible organ damage, hence close monitoring and consideration for long-term immunosuppression is warranted in certain cases.

    Abstract We report a case of isolated cutaneous small vessel vasculitis (SVV) occurring after zoledronic acid (Zol) infusion in a 58-year-old postmenopausal woman with a history of sleeve gastrectomy. This was the patient's first exposure to a bisphosphonate medication. Within minutes of the Zol infusion, she developed an episode of diffuse watery diarrhea. Although the diarrheal symptoms resolved quickly, she experienced nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-responsive generalized myalgias and skin tenderness in her abdomen and extremities within a few hours. These symptoms progressed in severity over the next 5 days, and she developed nonblanching, palpable purpura extending from the ankles to the knees. Prior to Zol, labs showed sufficient 25-hydroxyvitamin D and calcium as well as normal renal and liver function. On day 10, laboratory tests revealed aspartate transaminase twice and alanine transaminase thrice the upper limit of normal. The patient was diagnosed with cutaneous SVV, with a timeline highly suggestive of an idiosyncratic reaction to Zol. She was successfully treated with a prednisone taper. No prior cases of Zol-induced cutaneous vasculitis have been reported, although there are a handful of reported cases of giant cell arteritis and urticarial vasculitis after bisphosphonate therapy. Clinicians should be aware that isolated cutaneous SVV may be a rare complication of Zol.
