    Abstract Background: Infliximab is currently recommended as a third-line treatment for refractory sarcoidosis. Data in function of clinical phenotype are currently lacking. We evaluated patients' characteristics and responses to infliximab according to their GenPhenReSa cluster.
    Methods: We evaluated clinical and biological characteristics of patients diagnosed with sarcoidosis who received infliximab between September 2008 and April 2019 at our centre.
    Results: Fifty-five patients (median disease duration, 87 months) received infliximab: 48 (87%) as a second- or third-line treatment, and 7 (13%) as a first-line treatment. After a median duration of 12 months, 24 (45%) and 14 (25%) patients achieved complete and partial responses, respectively, together with a significant decrease in the number of affected organs and tapering of steroid doses. All patients with neurosarcoidosis (OR 17), 90% in group 2 (ocular-cardiac-cutaneous-CNS, OR 7.4), and approximately two-thirds of those in groups 1 (abdominal organs), 4 (pulmonary-lympho-nodal), and 5 (extrapulmonary), achieved a response, whereas patients in group 3 (musculoskeletal-cutaneous) had a treatment-failure OR of 9. Infliximab could be stopped after complete remission was achieved in 7 patients: 4 relapsed after a median of 6 months. Overall, 36% of patients experienced serious adverse events, mainly infections, which led to treatment cessation in 29% of patients and caused two deaths.
    Conclusions: Other than patients with musculoskeletal-cutaneous involvement (group 3), infliximab led to a good response for patients with CNS (group 2) and liver (group 1) organ-predominant sarcoidosis. However, it led to serious infections and merely suspended sarcoidosis, so further research on factors predictive of relapse is needed.

    Abstract Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (CAEBV) infection is usually a fatal disease associated with clonal proliferation of EBV-infected T or NK cells. We present the case of a 33-year-old Peruvian patient who developed a multisystem CAEBV, notably responsible for exceptional ophthalmological and renal damage. We describe the clinicopathological features of EBV-induced lymphoproliferative disorder.

    Abstract Objective: Despite an important increase in lifespan over the last decades, patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) still have to face a high morbi-mortality, particularly related to cardiovascular diseases, infections and cancers. Such events are more commonly found during old age in the general population, raising the hypothesis of an acceleration of the aging process in SLE patients. In this pilot study, we wanted to test the hypothesis that SLE would be associated with an accelerated biological aging measured by the epigenetic clocks models.
    Methods: We applied DNA methylation-based biomarkers of age in publicly available datasets of SLE patients. For every SLE patient and control included in the dataset, we calculated their epigenetic age and a measure of epigenetic age acceleration, according to Horvath's epigenetic clock model.
    Results: We included in our analysis two distinct DNA methylation datasets of 30 subjects (among which 15 with SLE) and 55 subjects (among which 30 with SLE), respectively. In both datasets, there was a statistically significant correlation between chronological age and epigenetic age. We did not observe any statistically significant difference in the measure of epigenetic age acceleration between SLE patients and controls.
    Conclusion: We did not observe any evidence of an accelerated biological aging in SLE patients, according to Horvath's epigenetic clock model.

    Abstract (1) Background: Congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP), named Günther's disease, is a rare recessive type of porphyria, resulting from deficient uroporphyrinogen III synthase (UROS), the fourth enzyme of heme biosynthesis. The phenotype ranges from extremely severe perinatal onset, with life-threatening hemolytic anaemia, to mild or moderate cutaneous involvement in late-onset forms. This work reviewed the perinatal CEP cases recorded in France in order to analyse their various presentations and evolution. (2) Methods: Clinical and biological data were retrospectively collected through medical and published records. (3) Results: Twenty CEP cases, who presented with severe manifestations during perinatal period, were classified according to the main course of the disease: antenatal features, acute neonatal distress and postnatal diagnosis. Antenatal symptoms (seven patients) were mainly hydrops fetalis, hepatosplenomegaly, anemia, and malformations. Six of them died prematurely. Five babies showed acute neonatal distress, associated with severe anemia, thrombocytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, liver dysfunction, and marked photosensitivity leading to diagnosis. The only two neonates who survived underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Common features in post-natal diagnosis (eight patients) included hemolytic anemia, splenomegaly, skin sensitivity, and discoloured teeth and urine. All patients underwent HSCT, with success for six of them, but with fatal complications in two patients. The frequency of the missense variant named C73R is striking in antenatal and neonatal presentations, with 9/12 and 7/8 independent alleles, respectively. (4) Conclusions: The most recent cases in this series are remarkable, as they had a less fatal outcome than expected. Regular transfusions from the intrauterine period and early access to HSCT are the main objectives.

    Abstract Acute hepatic porphyrias are inherited metabolic disorders of heme biosynthesis characterized by the accumulation of toxic intermediate metabolites responsible for disabling acute neurovisceral attacks. Givosiran is a newly approved siRNA-based treatment of acute hepatic porphyria targeting the first and rate-limiting δ-aminolevulinic acid synthase 1 (ALAS1) enzyme of heme biosynthetic pathway. We described a 72-year old patient who presented with severe inaugural neurological form of acute intermittent porphyria evolving for several years which made her eligible for givosiran administration. On initiation of treatment, the patient developed a major hyperhomocysteinemia (>400 μmol/L) which necessitated to discontinue the siRNA-based therapy. A thorough metabolic analysis in the patient suggests that hyperhomocysteinemia could be attributed to a functional deficiency of cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) enzyme induced by givosiran.

    Abstract Objectives: Antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS) is a rare autoimmune disease. We aimed to determine clinical, biological, radiological, and evolutive profiles of ASyS patients with anti-PL7 or anti-PL12 autoantibodies.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective study that included adults with overt positivity for anti-PL7/anti-PL12 autoantibodies and at least one Connors' criterion.
    Results: Among 72 patients, 69% were women, 29 had anti-PL7 and 43 anti-PL12 autoantibodies, median age was 60.3 years, and median follow-up period was 52.2 months. At diagnosis, 76% of patients had interstitial lung disease, 61% had arthritis, 39% myositis, 25% Raynaud's phenomenon, 18% mechanic's hands, and 17% had fever. The most frequent pattern on initial chest computed tomography was non-specific interstitial pneumonia and 67% had fibrosis at last follow-up. During follow-up, 12 patients had pericardial effusion (18%), 19 had pulmonary hypertension (29%), 9 (12.5%) had neoplasms, and 14 (19%) died. Sixty-seven patients (93%) received at least one steroid or immunosuppressive drug. Patients with anti-PL12 autoantibodies were younger (p=0.01) and more frequently exhibited anti-SSA autoantibodies (p=0.01); patients with anti-PL7 autoantibodies had more severe weakness and higher maximum creatine kinase levels (p=0.03 and 0.04, respectively). Initial severe dyspnoea was more common in patients from the West Indies (p=0.009), with lower predicted values of forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1s, and total lung capacity (p=0.01, p=0.02, p=0.01, respectively) contributing to a more severe 'respiratory' initial presentation.
    Conclusions: The high mortality and significant numbers of cardiovascular events, neoplasms and lung fibrosis in anti-PL7/12 patients justify close monitoring and question addition of antifibrotic drugs.

    Abstract Objective: Describe the characteristics of patients presenting with TTS during the course of a broad spectrum of systemic diseases, in comparison to classic TTS.
    Methods: French multicenter retrospective case-control study completed by a literature review.
    Results: 19 new cases were included in the study. The literature review identified 25 previously published cases. Among the 44 patients, 41 were females, with a median age of 67 years. The main underlying systemic diseases were systemic lupus erythematosus for seven, rheumatoid arthritis for six and primary Sjögren's syndrome for five. A TTS trigger was found in 34 cases, including a systemic disease flare-up in 28. The flare-up was treated in 15 cases, mainly with corticosteroids. One patient died during the episode, unrelated to the TTS. With a median follow-up of 24 months, all patients had recovered a normal LVEF, one had presented a recurrence of TTS, and none had died of a cardiac cause. Finally, the 19 new patients were compared with 19 classic TTS. The disease characteristics were extremely similar, with no significant difference in terms of clinical, electrocardiographic, biological and echocardiographic presentation.
    Conclusion: A broad spectrum of systemic diseases may rarely be accompanied by TTS, particularly during disease flare-ups. Although uncommon, TTS should be borne in mind in the presence of any cardiac symptomatology during the course of a systemic disease. Compared with classic TTS, their clinical, biological and echographic presentation is unremarkable. The prognosis for TTS appears to be good, with the consistent recovery of LVEF and no cardiac-related deaths.

    Abstract Background: Thanks to direct-acting antivirals, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection can be cured, with similar rates in HCV-infected and HIV-HCV co-infected patients. HCV cure is likely to foster behavioral changes in psychoactive substance use, which is highly prevalent in people living with HIV (PLWH). Cannabis is one substance that is very commonly used by PLWH, sometimes for therapeutic purposes. We aimed to identify correlates of cannabis use reduction following HCV cure in HIV-HCV co-infected cannabis users and to characterize persons who reduced their use.
    Methods: We used data collected on HCV-cured cannabis users in a cross-sectional survey nested in the ANRS CO13 HEPAVIH cohort of HIV-HCV co-infected patients, to perform logistic regression, with post-HCV cure cannabis reduction as the outcome, and socio-behavioral characteristics as potential correlates. We also characterized the study sample by comparing post-cure substance use behaviors between those who reduced their cannabis use and those who did not.
    Results: Among 140 HIV-infected cannabis users, 50 and 5 had reduced and increased their use, respectively, while 85 had not changed their use since HCV cure. Cannabis use reduction was significantly associated with tobacco use reduction, a decrease in fatigue level, paying more attention to one's dietary habits since HCV cure, and pre-HCV cure alcohol abstinence (p = 0.063 for alcohol use reduction).
    Conclusions: Among PLWH using cannabis, post-HCV cure cannabis reduction was associated with tobacco use reduction, improved well-being, and adoption of healthy behaviors. The management of addictive behaviors should therefore be encouraged during HCV treatment.
