    Title translation Tezepelumab (Tezspire®) : new biological treatment of severe asthma.
    Abstract Here we present pharmacological and clinical properties of a new biological targeting TSLP (Thymic Stromal LymphoPoietin). Tezspire® is the name of this targeted treatment which contains 210 mg tezepelumab administered subcutaneously once a month. As compared to placebo, tezepelumab reduced exacerbations whatever the baseline blood eosinophil counts, exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) level and atopic status. The response was higher in patients exhibiting the highest levels of blood eosinophils and FeNO. Tezepelumab also improved pre- bronchodilatation forced expiratory volume in one second, symptomatic control of asthma and quality of life. Tezepelumab proved a broad anti-inflammatory effect by blocking IL-4, IL-13 and IL-5 pathways, inducing a significant reduction in serum total IgE levels, FeNO, blood and sub-mucosal eosinophils, without affecting neutrophil level. Tezepelumab also reduced bronchial hyperresponsiveness and mucus plugs.

    Title translation The GOLD (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease) 2023 : a substantial revision.
    Abstract The GOLD is a consensus summarizing current evidence gathered to assess, diagnose and manage patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Each year, this GOLD document is enriched with new studies and articles. The year 2023 was special because more than 387 new references were added. These new developments have considerably modified the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to COPD.

    Title translation When eosinophilia is not only a marker of asthma ….
    Abstract We report the case of a patient who has been hospitalized for dyspnea. Investigations revealed airway obstruction, eosinophilia, elevated IgE and elevated exhaled nitric oxide. Patient improved with oral corticosteroids (OCS). However, the patient presented two exacerbations requiring OCS during the next twelve months. Chest CT scan revealed two multiloculated parenchymal lesions. Lab test was positive for Echinococcus and Western-Blot confirmed infection with Echinococcus granulosus. Bronchoalveolar lavage confirmed the presence of 6 % eosinophils. Echinococcus granulosis is a zoonotic larval infection caused by a tapeworm larva. Patients with this disease may be asymptomatic for years. Early identification and management, in a multidisciplinary team, are essential and rely mainly on surgical intervention and antiparasitic treatments. This article presents the case of a young patient with pulmonary echinococcosis.

    Title translation Dupilumab : a new treatment for severe T2 high asthma.
    Abstract Severe asthma often features a T2 high profile regulated by cytokines such as interleukins IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13. Dupilumab (Dupixent®) is humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the α subunit of the receptor for IL-4 and IL-13. Here we summarise the immunogical background of severe asthma which supports the use of dupilumab and the pivotal randomised controlled trials which have established the efficacy of dupilumab in treating people with severe asthma. Dupilumab reduces the exacerbation rate, has corticosteroids sparing effect, provides sustained improvement in expiratory flow rates and improved asthma control and quality of life with a reassuring safety profile. Dupilumab reduces the levels of FeNO values and of serum IgE but not those of circulating eosinophils. We also report on a few real life data with dupilumab supporting its clinical effectiveness.

    Title translation Concept of remission in severe asthma.
    Abstract The use of biotherapies has revolutionized the management of severe asthma. Following a review of asthma pathophysiology, which underpins the development of these new molecules, this article discusses the different types of remission in childhood and adult asthma. The possibilities of achieving remission with each biotherapy and the factors that predict remission will then be developed. Finally, we'll discuss the chances of maintaining good control of the disease after discontinuation of biotherapies, as well as their contribution in terms of systemic and local cortisone sparing.

    Abstract Asthma affects over 300 million people worldwide and its prevalence is increasing. COPD is the third leading cause of death globally. Asthma and COPD are complex inflammatory diseases of the airways in which impaired host defences lead to increased susceptibility to pathogens, pollutants and allergens. There is a constant interplay between host and the environment. Environmental exposures can alter the lung microbiome and influence the development of sensitisation by disrupting normal immunoregulation. The underlying airway inflammation in severe asthma is heterogeneous, with upregulation of type 2 cytokines in most cases but increased neutrophilic inflammation and activated T-helper 17 mediated immunity in others. COPD may also comprise several different phentoypes that are driven by different molecular mechanisms or endotypes. This disease heterogeneity is affected by comorbidities, treatments and environmental exposures. Recent intervention trials have shed light on the pathways beyond type 2 inflammation that can lead to beneficial outcomes

    Title translation Pneumococcal vaccination among at-risk groups with comorbidities : guidelines from the "Belgian Superior Health Council" and reimbursement criteria.
    Abstract Streptococcus pneumoniae infections cause community-acquired pneumonia and invasive pneumococcal disease such as sepsis and acute meningitis. In the adult population, the risk of severe infections, which can be lethal, is particularly high among people aged above 65 years and subgroups with comorbidities. Pneumococcal vaccines underwent progressive improvement and a new conjugated vaccine targeting 20 serotypes (PCV20) is now available. The Belgian Superior Health Council has recently reiterated the importance of vaccinating at-risk individuals against S. pneumoniae and now recommends vaccination with PCV20 (Apexxnar®) as the preferred primary vaccination regimen in all at-risk adults. The present article reminds the risk of severe pneumococcal infections among patients with comorbidities, by targeting five of them, chronic respiratory diseases, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus and cirrhosis. It emphasizes the too low rate of pneumococcal vaccination in these at-risk subgroups and summarizes the last guidelines of the Belgian Superior Health Council in favor of pneumococcal vaccination in at-risk patients with comorbidities. Finally, it describes the Belgian reimbursement criteria recently granted to people aged 65-85 years with comorbidities.
