    Background: Data regarding outcome of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in vaccinated patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) are lacking. We evaluated the outcome of COVID-19 in AIH patients who received at least one dose of Pfizer- BioNTech (BNT162b2), Moderna (mRNA-1273) or AstraZeneca (ChAdOx1-S) vaccine. Patients and methods: We performed a retrospective study on AIH patients with COVID-19. The outcomes of AIH patients who had acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) breakthrough infection after at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine were compared to unvaccinated patients with AIH. COVID-19 outcome was classified according to clinical state during the disease course as: (i) no hospitalization, (ii) hospitalization without oxygen supplementation, (iii) hospitalization with oxygen supplementation by nasal cannula or mask, (iv) intensive care unit (ICU) admission with non-invasive mechanical ventilation, (v) ICU admission with invasive mechanical ventilation or (vi) death, and data was analyzed using ordinal logistic regression. Results: We included 413 (258 unvaccinated and 155 vaccinated) patients (81\%, female) with a median age of 52 (range: 17-85) years at COVID-19 diagnosis. The rates of hospitalization were (36.4\% vs. 14.2\%), need for any supplemental oxygen (29.5\% vs. 9\%) and mortality (7\% vs. 0.6\%) in unvaccinated and vaccinated AIH patients with COVID-19. Having received at least one dose of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine was associated with a significantly lower risk of worse COVID-19 severity, after adjusting for age, sex, comorbidities and presence of cirrhosis (adjusted odds ratio {[}aOR] 0.18, 95\% confidence interval {[}CI], 0.10-0.31). Overall, vaccination against SARSCoV-2 was associated with a significantly lower risk of mortality from COVID-19 (aOR 0.20, 95\% CI 0.11-0.35). Conclusions: SARS-CoV-2 vaccination significantly reduced the risk of COVID-19 severity and mortality in patients with AIH.

    Anti-neuronal and stress-induced-phosphoprotein 1 antibodies in neuro-Behcet's disease
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2011-01-01) Vural, Burcak; Ugurel, Elif; Tuzun, Erdem; Kurtuncu, Murat; Zuliani, Luigi; Cavus, Filiz; Icoz, Sema; Erdag, Ece; Gul, Ahmet; Gure, Ali O.; Vincent, Angela; Ozbek, Ugur; Eraksoy, Mefkure; Akman-Demir, Gulsen
    No disease-specific neuronal antibodies have so far been defined in neuro-Behcet's disease (NBD). Immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry studies showed antibodies to hippocampal and cerebellar molecular layers and the surface antigens of cultured hippocampal neurons in sera and/or cerebrospinal fluids (CSF) of 13 of 20 NBD and 6 of 20 BD patients but not in multiple sclerosis or headache controls. Screening with a protein macroarray led to identification of stress-induced-phosphoprotein-1 (STIP-1) as an antigenic target. High-titer STIP-1-antibodies were detected in 6 NBD patients' sera but not in controls. These results suggest that neuronal antibodies could be useful as diagnostic biomarkers in NBD.
