    Abstract Sweet's syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) is a rare disorder of unclear aetiology characterised by painful cutaneous lesions, sometimes accompanied by systemic symptoms. It has been associated with several autoimmune conditions, drugs, malignancies and infections, though many cases are idiopathic. We describe a case of Sweet's syndrome in a 49-year-old man with pre-existing psoriasis following recent initiation of risankizumab therapy. There are very few reported cases of Sweet's syndrome in association with psoriasis and no existing reports in association with an IL-23 inhibiting medication. Further investigation of the potentially overlapping immunologic pathways implicated in cutaneous reactions to biologic agents and autoimmune conditions such as psoriasis may yield insights into the pathogenesis of such conditions and guide advancements in the rapidly evolving field of targeted biologic therapies.

    Abstract Objectives: Infliximab (IFX) is commonly used to treat children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We previously reported that patients with extensive disease started on IFX at a dose of 10 mg/kg had greater treatment durability at year one. The aim of this follow-up study is to assess the long-term safety and durability of this dosing strategy in pediatric IBD.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective single-center study of pediatric IBD patients started on IFX over a 10-year period.
    Results: Two hundred ninety-one patients were included (mean age = 12.61, 38% female) with a follow-up range of 0.1-9.7 years from IFX induction. One hundred fifty-five (53%) were started at a dose of 10 mg/kg. Only 35 patients (12%) discontinued IFX. The median duration of treatment was 2.9 years. Patients with ulcerative colitis ( P ≤ 0.01) and patients with extensive disease ( P = 0.01) had lower durability, despite a higher starting dose of IFX ( P = 0.03). Adverse events (AEs) were observed to occur at a rate of 234 per 1000 patient-years. Patients with a higher serum IFX trough level (≥20 µg/mL) had a higher rate of AEs ( P = 0.01). Use of combination therapy had no impact on risk of AEs ( P = 0.78).
    Conclusions: We observed an excellent IFX treatment durability, with only 12% of patients discontinuing therapy over the observed timeframe. The overall rate of AEs was low, the majority being infusion reactions and dermatologic conditions. Higher IFX dose and serum trough level> 20 µg/mL were associated with higher risk of AEs, the majority being mild and not resulting in cessation of therapy.

    Abstract Background/aim: Pediatric ileocolonic Crohn disease (CD) may be difficult to distinguish from ulcerative colitis (UC) with backwash ileitis (BWI). The primary aim of the study was to determine the probability of CD in children with a confluent colitis and ileitis when newly diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
    Methods: A retrospective observational study of 100 newly diagnosed patients with IBD was performed. Two pathologists reviewed ileal biopsy specimens for 8 histological features. Biopsy and clinical features were evaluated for predictive ability of a final diagnosis of CD.
    Results: The presence of crypt distortion, lamina propria (LP) expansion, and acute LP inflammation combined with 4 clinical variables in multivariate regression analysis had adequate discriminative validity when comparing the mean probability of a final CD diagnosis between CD and not-CD groups (0.90 vs. 0.59, p value <0.001). When crypt distortion, LP expansion, and acute LP inflammation are present in any combination, the sensitivity and specificity for presence of CD ranges 38.4-57% and 92.9-100%, respectively.
    Conclusions: Combining histological features of ileitis and clinical variables can adequately discriminate between the presence and absence of Crohn disease in children who present with confluent colitis and ileitis. Combined presence of certain histological features has high specificity for CD.

    Abstract Inflammatory CD4(+) T cell responses to self or commensal bacteria underlie the pathogenesis of autoimmunity and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), respectively. Although selection of self-specific T cells in the thymus limits responses to mammalian tissue antigens, the mechanisms that control selection of commensal bacteria-specific T cells remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that group 3 innate lymphoid cell (ILC3)-intrinsic expression of major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII) is regulated similarly to thymic epithelial cells and that MHCII(+) ILC3s directly induce cell death of activated commensal bacteria-specific T cells. Further, MHCII on colonic ILC3s was reduced in pediatric IBD patients. Collectively, these results define a selection pathway for commensal bacteria-specific CD4(+) T cells in the intestine and suggest that this process is dysregulated in human IBD.
