    Abstract Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome, a polygenic or multifactorial condition, is the most frequent autoinflammatory disease in children. There is increasing evidence that some patients may have a disease onset during adulthood. With regard to PFAPA syndrome treatment, single medium-to-high doses of glucocorticoids during flares constitute the therapy of choice in children and adults, colchicine may be useful in some patients and tonsillectomy has been reported of utility mainly in pediatric patients. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) blockers have been sporadically used with good response in glucocorticoid-resistant cases. We report a patient with an adult-onset of glucocorticoid-resistant PFAPA syndrome and inconsistent response to colchicine and anakinra, who later achieved a complete and sustained response to canakinumab. Although canakinumab seems to be a good therapeutic option in pediatric and adult patients with refractory PFAPA syndrome, the best anti-IL-1 agent and the sequence of administration have to be still determined in well-designed clinical trials.

    Abstract Background and aim: To investigate the influence of common factors on serum immunoglobulin M (IgM) concentrations in adults, and clinical associations with high and low values.
    Methods: We measured serum IgM levels using immunonephelometry in a random sample of 1510 individuals (aged 18-91 years, 44.7% male). We obtained data defining metabolic syndrome from all participants, defined atopy by skin prick tests to aeroallergens, and assessed lifestyle factors by questionnaire.
    Results: Women showed higher IgM concentrations than men; 95 (6.3%, mostly male) individuals showed low (<0.40 g/L) IgM values, and 64 (4.2%, mostly female) showed high (>2.30 g/L) IgM values. Individuals with abnormal IgM concentrations had no history of opportunistic infections nor a different atopy prevalence. Serum IgM concentrations decreased with age, and obesity was negatively associated with IgM concentrations. Alcohol consumption, smoking, physical activity, and metabolic syndrome had no significant influence in the multivariate analyses.
    Conclusions: Many adults in the general population show abnormally high or low IgM concentrations with no evidence of immunodeficiency-associated diseases. Sex and age should be considered when defining reference IgM concentrations.

    Abstract Background: Measurements of C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) are frequently ordered jointly in clinical practice.
    Aim: To investigate the factors associated with discordances between CRP concentration and ESR in adults.
    Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 1472 adults with no known inflammatory disorders (44.5% male; median age, 52 years; range, 18-91 years), randomly selected from a municipality in Spain. The participants underwent simultaneous measurements of ESR, serum CRP, and interleukin-6 concentrations. Alcohol consumption, smoking, and physical activity were evaluated by questionnaire. Body mass index (BMI) measurement and metabolic syndrome criteria were available for all participants.
    Results: Most (n = 1123, 74.9%) of the participants showed normal CRP and ESR values. Sixty-nine (4.6%) participants showed high CRP and ESR values. Seventy-two (4.8%) participants showed a discordant pattern of high ESR and normal CRP values, which was associated with age after adjusting for sex, alcohol consumption, physical activity, BMI, and the presence of metabolic syndrome (odds ratio [OR], 1.052; 95% CI, 1.034-1.071;
    Conclusion: In this general adult population with no overt inflammatory disease, the discordant pattern of high ESR and normal CRP was associated with greater age, whereas the pattern of high CRP and normal ESR was associated with higher BMI.

    Abstract In the 79 countries revised, two fundamental internal medicine (IM) training patterns were in evidence, first, only basic training needed, requiring a 3-4-year residency period for obtaining the diploma of internist; and advanced training needed, requiring 5-7 years of study. Second, evaluation of common IM training for sub-specialists revealed the following three patterns: dual training; core training and separate training.
