Multicenter Study Observational Study
[Levilimab and baricitinib prescribing experience in outpatient COVID-19 patients' treatment].
To study the effect of levilimab or baricitinib in combination with standard therapy (ST) on the incidence of severe viral pneumonia associated with a new coronavirus infection COVID-19. ⋯ The addition of levilimab or baricitinib to the therapy regimen for coronavirus infection during the outpatient phase has demonstrated a preemptive anti-inflammatory effect and reduced the probability of lung tissue damage progression.

Currently, observations are accumulating indicating the negative effect of therapy with a number of biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) drugs on the course of COVID-19. These facts determine the relevance of studying the factors of severe course and unfavorable outcome in immuno-inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IIRD) patients treated with bDMARDs in order to develop tactics for managing this category of patients in a pandemic. ⋯ Patients with IIRD have a high risk of severe coronavirus infection, while the severity of the disease is associated with the type of therapy performed.

The use of virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies is an effective method of etiotropic therapy for SARS-CoV-2 in patients of high-risk groups of severe COVID-19. Regdanvimab is a single-component monoclonal antibodies immunoglobulin G1, whose mechanism of action is aimed at binding SARS-CoV-2 virus at the RBD site of the spike protein S1 domain. In the Russian Federation, regdanvimab is approved for emergency administration in COVID-19 for adult patients not requiring respiratory therapy who are at high risk of developing a severe course of the disease. ⋯ In real clinical practice, the efficacy and safety of regdanvimab in patients at high risk of severe COVID-19 was confirmed once again, with a positive clinical result observed in a mixed cohort by the causative agent omicron and delta strain.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a complex immune-mediated disease in which a third of patients with psoriasis (PsO) have a inflammatory lesion of both the musculoskeletal system (peripheral joints and axial structures) and extra-articular manifestations (dactylitis, enthesitis, nail PsO, uveitis and inflammatory bowel disease). ⋯ In patients with PsA duration 36 mo we found significant prevalence of erosions by X-Ray, axial PsA, BMI30 kg/m2, HAQ-DI1, PsAID-124, arterial hypertension, metabolic syndrome and overall comorbidity (p0.05). There were no significant differences between groups in PsO severity by BSA3%, PASI1, LEI1, TJC, SJC, dactylitis, ESR30 mm/h, CRP10 mg/l, DAPSA, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease and liver damage (p0.05). Сonclusion. Long-standing stage PsA is associated with erosions, axial PsA, worst health related quality of life, functional disability and increased cardio-metabolic disorders and overall comorbidity. Our results support the idea to start bDMARDs at early stage of PsA, it can improve better outcomes.

Systemic vasculitis is a manifold group of systemic autoimmune diseases characterized by the inflammation of the blood vessels. The first clinical cases of systemic vasculitis were described in the Middle Ages, and most of the currently recognised nosological forms were reported in the first half of the 20th century. The first attempt to create a united classification of vasculitis was performed by P. ⋯ An important step in the development of the classification of vasculitis was a joint project of ACR and EULAR aimed to develop new diagnostic and classification criteria for vasculitis (DCVAS). The first result of this project are the new classification criteria for granulomatosis with polyangiitis, microscopic polyangiitis and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis published in 2022. In general, the evolution of the classification of vasculitis occurs under the influence of the progress in the understanding of their etiology and pathogenesis.
