    Abstract Coronaviruses primarily cause zoonotic infections, however in the past few decades several interspecies transmissions have occurred, the last one by SARS-CoV-2, causing COVID-19 pandemic, posing serious threat to global health. The SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein plays an important role in viral attachment, fusion and entry. However, other structural and non-structural SARS-CoV-2 proteins are potential influencers in virus pathogenicity. Among these proteins; Orf3, Orf8, and Orf10 show the least homology to SARSCoV proteins and therefore should be further studied for their abilities to modulate antiviral and inflammatory responses. Here, we discuss how SARS-COV-2 interacts with our immune system.

    Abstract Coronavirus family has caused several human illnesses, the latest caused by SARS-CoV-2, has led to COVID-19 pandemic posing serious threat to global health. A SARS-CoV-2 variant encoding a D614G mutation in the viral spike (S) protein has now become the most prevalent form of the virus worldwide, suggesting a fitness advantage for the mutant. The G614 variant is associated with higher upper respiratory tract viral load, higher infectivity, increased total S protein incorporation into the virion, reduced S1 shedding and a conformational change leading to a more ACE2- binding and fusion- competent state. However, it does not seem to be correlated to increased disease severity or escape neutralizing antibodies.

    Abstract A 76-year-old renal transplant patient due to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease who resumed chronic haemodialysis was admitted to our hospital for confusion and lassitude. He was afebrile and physical examination revealed diffuse bilateral rales with decreased respiratory sounds in lower right lung. Laboratory data showed hypercalcaemia (total calcium 3.92 mmol/L (normal range 2.2-2.6 mmol/L), ionised calcium 1.87 mmol/L (1.15-1.35 mmol/L)), low intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) 15 ng/L, (15-65 ng/L) and high 1,25(OH)2D3 128.9 pg/mL, (15.2-90.1 pg/mL). Chest CT-scan revealed bilateral apical lung lesions after 15 days of antibiotics. Bronchoalveolar sample was PCR positive for

    Abstract Kidney biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing glomerular kidney disease. Some authors debate the necessity of systematically performing kidney biopsies in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) to confirm the diagnosis and assess the severity of renal damage. Nevertheless, kidney involvement is considered an organ-threatening disease requiring an aggressive immunosuppressive regimen. We present a series of 4 cases with a high clinical suspicion of ANCA-associated crescentic glomerulonephritis based on rising serum creatinine, presence of proteinuria and/or hematuria, and presence of ANCA with specificity against PR-3 or MPO. The main diagnosis, however, was arterionephrosclerosis without renal AAV. Certain comorbidities, such as diabetes and/or high blood pressure, can quickly mimic progressive glomerulonephritis. In addition, some patients with AAV do not have high creatinine, proteinuria, or hematuria levels. ANCA alone is not specific to AAV and has a poor positive predictive value. The main concern is to prevent the unnecessary, inappropriate complications of heavy immunosuppression, i.e., serious infections or risk of future malignancies. Kidney pathological confirmation is important in patients with no compatible extra-renal manifestations of AAV or any other possible renal diagnosis such as may be found in polyvascular disease or diabetic patients.
