September 2024 in “Arthritis & Rheumatology” A 29-year-old female with clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis presented with persistent cutaneous symptoms, including a pruritic rash, hair loss, and severe scalp pruritus, despite treatment with methotrexate and mycophenolate mofetil. This case underscores the challenges in managing skin manifestations in dermatomyositis and cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE), particularly the role of type I interferons (IFN) in the pathogenesis and treatment of these conditions. The study raises questions about the potential for IFN-targeted therapies to improve outcomes in patients with skin disease associated with CLE and DM.

December 2022 in “Rheumatology Advances in Practice” January 2026 in “Frontiers in Immunology” This case report describes a 44-year-old woman with a rare triple autoimmune overlap of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and hypereosinophilic asthma with systemic manifestations (HASM). Initially managed as ANCA-negative eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), her condition was reclassified as HASM due to the absence of ANCA and biopsy-proven vasculitis. Treatment with high-dose glucocorticoids, methotrexate, and hydroxychloroquine led to rapid normalization of eosinophils and remission of asthma and sinus disease. The report highlights the importance of evaluating new-onset eosinophilic asthma in patients with rheumatic diseases for EGPA-spectrum or hypereosinophilic disorders, as timely EGPA-type immunosuppression can prevent organ damage.
