Abstract
Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (ISCLS) is a rare, recurrent condition with dramatically increased blood vessel permeability and, therefore, induction of systemic edema, which may lead to organ damage and death. In this issue of the JCI, Ablooglu et al. showed that ISCLS vessels were hypersensitive to agents known to increase vascular permeability, using human biopsies, cell culture, and mouse models. Several endothelium-specific proteins that regulate endothelial junctions were dysregulated and thereby compromised the vascular barrier. These findings suggest that endothelium-intrinsic dysregulation underlies hyperpermeability and implicate the cytoplasmic serine/threonine protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) as a potential drug target for the treatment of ISCLS.

Abstract
In the realm of hematologic disorders, acute leukemia is approached as an emergent disease given the multitude of complications and challenges that present both as a result of inherent disease pathology and adverse events associated with antineoplastic therapies and interventions. The heavy burden of leukemic cells may lead to complications including tumor lysis syndrome, hyperleukocytosis, leukostasis, and differentiation syndrome, and the initiation of treatment can further exacerbate these effects. Capillary leak syndrome is observed as a result of antineoplastic agents used in acute leukemia, and L-asparaginase, a bacterial-derived enzyme, has a unique side effect profile including association with thrombosis. Thrombohemorrhagic syndrome and malignancy-associated thrombosis are also commonly observed complications due to direct disequilibrium in coagulant and anticoagulant factors. Due to inherent effects on the white blood cell milieu, leukemia patients are inherently immunocompromised and vulnerable to life-threatening sepsis. Lastly, the advents of newer therapies such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells have clinicians facing the management of related toxicities on unfamiliar territory. This review aims to discuss these acute leukemia-associated complications, their pathology, and management recommendations.

Abstract
Background Large-scale use of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic was associated with enhanced safety monitoring to ensure accurate and timely review of safety. We reviewed the mRNA-1273 (original strain) safety profile following 2 years of use (>772 million administered doses), primarily focusing on predefined safety topics (ie, adverse events of special interest [AESIs]) proposed in advance of COVID-19 vaccine use. Methods Cumulative mRNA-1273 safety data were included from spontaneous adverse event (AE) cases reported to Moderna's global safety database between 18 December 2020 and 17 December 2022. Reporting rates of AESIs were calculated per 1 million doses of mRNA-1273 administered. Observed-to-expected (OE) ratios were computed by comparing observed rates of AESIs with the background/expected rate for these events to evaluate potential associations with mRNA-1273. Results There were 658 759 identified case reports associated with 2 517 669 AEs. Most AEs were nonserious (83.4%; 2 098 954/2 517 669). Overall 0.7% (17 751/2 517 669) were fatal. AESIs represented 13.7% of all AEs (344 921/2 517 669), with reporting rates for most AESIs below the expected background incidence. Exceptions included anaphylaxis (OE ratio 3 days after vaccination, 2.09; 95% CI, 1.93-2.25) and, among individuals aged 12 to 40 years, myocarditis (OE ratio 7 days after any dose, 3.89 [3.50-4.32]; among men after dose 2, 8.57 [6.88-10.68]) and pericarditis (OE ratio 7 days after vaccination, 3.47; 2.89-4.16). Conclusions This safety analysis of mRNA-1273 identified evidence of increased risk for anaphylaxis, myocarditis, and pericarditis but not for other AESIs identified for enhanced monitoring ahead of COVID-19 vaccine use.

Abstract
BPDCN is an aggressive myeloid malignancy with a poor prognosis. It derives from the precursors of plasmacytoid dendritic cells and is characterized by CD123 overexpression, which is seen in all patients with BPDCN. The CD123-directed therapy tagraxofusp is the only approved treatment for BPDCN; it was approved in the US as monotherapy for the treatment of patients aged ≥2 years with treatment-naive or relapsed/refractory BPDCN. Herein, we review the available data supporting the utility of tagraxofusp in treating patients with BPDCN. In addition, we present best practices and real-world insights from clinicians in academic and community settings in the US on how they use tagraxofusp to treat BPDCN. Several case studies illustrate the efficacy of tagraxofusp and discuss its safety profile, as well as the prevention, mitigation, and management of anticipated adverse events.

Abstract
AIM This population-based study investigated the occurrence of capillary leak syndrome (CLS) in children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), associated with COVID-19. We also examined associations between CLS and MIS-C disease severity. METHODS All eligible individuals aged 0-18 years, who were diagnosed with MIS-C in Skåne, southern Sweden, from 1 April 2020 to 31 July 2021, were studied. They were all included in the Pediatric Rheumatology Quality Register and clinical and laboratory data were compared between patients with and without CLS. RESULTS We included 31 patients (61% male) with MIS-C in the study. The median age at diagnosis was 10.6 years (range 1.99-17.15) and 45% developed CLS. All six patients who required intensive care had CLS. Patients with CLS also had a higher incidence of reduced cardiac function, measured as low ejection fraction. The CLS group exhibited significantly higher C-reactive protein values (p < 0.001) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels (p < 0.001), as well as lower platelet counts (p = 0.03), during the first week of treatment. Individuals with CLS also received more intense immunosuppression. CONCLUSION CLS was a common complication of MIS-C in our study and these patients had a more severe disease course that required more intensive treatment.

Abstract
Increased vascular permeability is a prevalent feature in a wide spectrum of clinical conditions, but no effective treatments to restore the endothelial barrier are available. Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (ISCLS) is a life-threatening Paroxysmal Permeability Disorder characterized by abrupt, massive plasma extravasation. This condition serves as a robust model for investigating therapeutic approaches targeting interendothelial junctions. We conducted a single-center, interventional in vitro study at the Referral Center for ISCLS in Italy, involving four diagnosed ISCLS patients, aiming at investigating the effects of FX06, a Bβ15-42 fibrin-derived peptide binding to VE-Cadherin, on endothelial barrier exposed to intercritical and acute ISCLS sera. The Transwell Permeability Assay was used to assess the permeability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) exposed to ISCLS sera with or without FX06 (50 µg/ml). Acute ISCLS serum was also tested in a three-dimensional microfluidic device. Nitric oxide (NO), VE-Cadherin localization, and cytoskeletal organization were also assessed. In two and three-dimensional systems, ISCLS sera increased endothelial permeability, with a more pronounced effect for acute sera. Furthermore, acute sera altered VE-Cadherin localization and cytoskeletal organization. NO levels remained unchanged. FX06 restored the endothelial barrier function by influencing cellular localization rather than VE-Cadherin levels. In conclusion, FX06 prevents and reverts the hyperpermeability induced by ISCLS sera. These preliminary yet promising results provide initial evidence of the in vitro efficacy of a drug targeting the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of ISCLS. Moreover, this approach may hold potential for addressing hyperpermeability in a spectrum of clinical conditions beyond ISCLS.

Abstract
Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (ISCLS) is a rare disease characterized by hypotensive shock, anasarca, hemoconcentration, and hypoalbuminemia. Despite the life-threatening course of the disease, no treatment strategy has been established. A 68-year-old man presented with hypotensive shock following a prodrome. Based on the characteristic blood test findings, ISCLS was suspected. The patient was resuscitated by administering massive amounts of fluids and inotropic and vasopressor agents. After his blood pressure had stabilized, renal replacement therapy (RRT) was promptly initiated to facilitate the removal of excess fluid, despite the presence of urine output. Typically, ISCLS has three phases: prodromal, leak, and post-leak. Diuresis should be promptly induced during the transition from the leak phase to the post-leak phase to avoid fatal complications such as pulmonary edema. We propose that in patients with ISCLS, early introduction of RRT is recommended if indicated.

Abstract
The unprecedented impact and sequelae of COVID-19 infection are not yet fully understood, and better understanding of the pathophysiology of these infections is needed. Endothelial dysfunction might be common sequelae associated with COVID-19, and increased inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, proinflammatory cytokines, and impaired mitochondrial function also contribute to the pathophysiology of post COVID-19 medical disorders. Systemic capillary leak syndrome following COVID-19 infection, both new onset and exacerbation of a prior disorder, has been reported. The pathophysiology of SCLS is uncertain; it likely develops during transient vascular endothelial dysfunction or endotheliopathy and inflammation resulting from circulating humoral factors. Here, we report a case of adult patient with 2 episodes of systemic capillary leak syndrome following prior COVID-19 infection. This patient had a transient response to intravenous IgG.

Abstract
Introduction: Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is a rare disorder characterized by hemoconcentration, hypoproteinemia and edema. Chronic SCLS (cSCLS) presents as intractable edema, distinguishing it from the classic acute form, and only about 10 cases were reported worldwide. Nevertheless, the underlying pathogenesis of both types is obscure. Case presentation: We report a case of a 58-year-old man with chronic edema persisting for 8 years, complicated by unique chylous polyserous effusions and hypotrichosis, which was successfully relieved by treatment with dexamethasone, intravenous immunoglobulin, and thalidomide. Furthermore, a variant c.5594A>G (p.K1865R) in the MYOF gene was identified as a potentially pathogenic mutation through whole-exome genetic sequencing. The proposed mechanism involves its impact on VEGF signaling, leading to increased capillary permeability. Conclusion: Our case illustrates possible lymphatic capillaries involvement in SCLS, which may plays a potential role in immune disorder, and revealed a possible causative genetic mutation of SCLS.

Abstract
Urban stormwater runoff frequently contains the car tire transformation product 6PPD-quinone, which is highly toxic to juvenile and adult coho salmon (Onchorychus kisutch). However, it is currently unclear if embryonic stages are impacted. We addressed this by exposing developing coho salmon embryos starting at the eyed stage to three concentrations of 6PPD-quinone twice weekly until hatch. Impacts on survival and growth were assessed. Further, whole-transcriptome sequencing was performed on recently hatched alevin to address the potential mechanism of 6PPD-quinone-induced toxicity. Acute mortality was not elicited in developing coho salmon embryos at environmentally measured concentrations lethal to juveniles and adults, however, growth was inhibited. Immediately after hatching, coho salmon were sensitive to 6PPD-quinone mortality, implicating a large window of juvenile vulnerability prior to smoltification. Molecularly, 6PPD-quinone induced dose-dependent effects that implicated broad dysregulation of genomic pathways governing cell-cell contacts and endothelial permeability. These pathways are consistent with previous observations of macromolecule accumulation in the brains of coho salmon exposed to 6PPD-quinone, implicating blood-brain barrier disruption as a potential pathway for toxicity. Overall, our data suggests that developing coho salmon exposed to 6PPD-quinone are at risk for adverse health events upon hatching while indicating potential mechanism(s) of action for this highly toxic chemical.

Abstract
Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is due to increased capillary permeability to proteins and fluid extravasation from blood vessels into surrounding tissues and body cavities. This fluid extravasation leads to hypotension, generalized anasarca, pleural effusions, and pericardial effusions -- the more severe cases of SCLS can cause multiorgan dysfunction, including cardiovascular collapse, shock, and death. The treatment includes corticosteroids, diuretics, albumin, immunoglobulins, and crystalloids. SCLS is potentially fatal. Recognizing signs and symptoms early and treating the patients is essential as this condition is fatal. It sometimes is a diagnosis of exclusion, being very challenging to diagnose and treat. The lack of understanding of the underlying mechanisms causing SCLS and proper treatment guidelines, especially in cancer patients, made diagnosing and treating this condition hard. Reports show that many cancers and anti-cancer treatments, including newer immunotherapy, cause SCLS. The mortality rate of SCLS associated with cytotoxic chemotherapy is 24% at five years. This review focuses on the cancers and anti-cancer drugs causing SCLS, treating acute SCLS, and available preventive regimens. The fundamental purpose of this review is to help clinicians recognize SCLS early to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment. We also would like to elaborate on the fact that research on cancer-related SCLS is critical for developing staging criteria, useful diagnostic markers, prevention, and treatment strategies for anti-cancer drug-induced SCLS to prevent early discontinuation of anti-cancer drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (ISCLS) is a rare disease characterized by recurrent episodes of acute life-threatening attacks of shock, hemoconcentration, and hypoalbuminemia. Increase in capillary permeability results in reversible plasma movement into the interstitial spaces followed by appearance of related symptoms or complications, including renal failure. This condition can be potentially life-threatening; however, it is easily misdiagnosed. CASE PRESENTATION A 47-year-old man with no previous medical history presented to the emergency department after experiencing general weakness and abdominal pain. He developed hypovolemic shock within 3 h of presentation and initial laboratory tests showed hemoconcentration, hypoalbuminemia and acute kidney injury. Following vigorous fluid therapy and supportive care, the patient recovered, but a similar episode recurred after 4 months without any specific trigger. Based on the combined clinical manifestations and laboratory findings of both the attacks, he was diagnosed with ISCLS. Symptomatic relief was achieved via oxygen supplementation and massive volume replacement using normal saline and the patient was prescribed bambuterol 10 mg and theophylline 400 mg once-a-day. He was discharged from the hospital on day 5 of hospitalization. Thereafter, the patient has been followed for 5 years without any symptoms or recurrence of ISCLS even in the situation of COVID-19 infection. CONCLUSIONS ISCLS is an extremely infrequent and commonly misdiagnosed disease. However, early diagnosis, treatment and prophylaxis through accumulated clinical data can prevent ISCLS recurrence and the development of related fatal complications. Therefore, clinicians need to be well aware of the variety of clinical characteristics and treatment options of this disease.

Abstract
Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is a rare and under-recognized disease which is potentially fatal. We report a case of SCLS triggered by influenza A infection associated with fulminant cardiogenic shock, successfully supported by veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Strong clinical suspicion with appropriate supportive treatment can be life-saving for patients with SCLS.

Abstract
Rhabdomyolysis accompanying influenza virus infection is a notable extrapulmonary complication. We experienced a case of influenza type A followed by rhabdomyolysis and systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS). A 57-year-old man with no significant past medical history was diagnosed as having influenza type A six hours after fever onset, and treatment with oseltamivir was started. Shock, rhabdomyolysis, and acute kidney injury (AKI) progressed rapidly. At 53 hours after starting the oral treatment, intensive care was initiated, including ventilation management. In the acute phase, a large-dose replacement was given for the SCLS and continuous renal replacement therapy for AKI; both eventually healed without sequelae.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Generalised oedema was occasionally reported associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPIs). The purpose of this study is to investigate immune-related generalised oedema (ir-GE) drug related to ICPI, through frequency, clinical and pathological characteristics, and patient's outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS Objectives of the study were to report on ir-GE associated with ICPI to define frequency, associated signs and symptoms, pathological characteristics, severity, and response to corticosteroids. To be included in the study, adult patients had to have ir-GE related to ICPI with certain or likely link, without any other known causes of generalised oedema. The study design was observational, over the period 2014-2020, from pharmacovigilance databases in France, including the prospective Registre des Effets Indésirables Sévères des Anticorps Monoclonaux Immunomodulateurs en Cancérologie (REISAMIC) registry. Calculation of the frequency of ir-GE was restricted to the prospective REISAMIC registry. RESULTS Over 6633 screened patients, 20 had ir-GE confirmed drug related to ICPI. Based on the prospective REISAMIC registry, the frequency of ir-GE was 0.19% of ICPI-treated patients (3 cases out of 1598 screened patients). The 20 patients with ir-GE had a median (range) age of 62 (26-81) years, most frequent tumour types were melanoma (n = 9; 45%) and lung cancer (n = 6; 30%). The most frequent localisations of oedema were peripheral (n = 17; 85%), pleural (n = 13; 65%), and peritoneal (n = 10; 50%). Polyserositis was observed in 11 (55%) patients. The median (range) weight gain per patient was 9 (2-30) kg. Associated signs and symptoms met criteria for capillary leak syndrome (n = 4; 20%), sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease (SOS/VOD) (n = 3; 15%), or subcutaneous autoimmune syndrome (n = 2; 10%). Corticosteroids were administered to 15 patients; of them, 10 (67%) improved clinically after corticosteroids. Based on CTCAEV5.0, the highest severity of ir-GE was grade ≥4 in 11 (55%) patients and four (20%) patients died due to ir-GE. CONCLUSIONS Generalised immune system-related oedema is a new category of adverse event with immune checkpoint inhibitors and is often associated with a life-threatening condition. The pathophysiology may in some cases be related to endothelial dysfunctions, such as SOS/VOD or capillary leak syndrome.

Abstract
Monoclonal gammopathy of clinical significance (MGCS) represents a new clinical entity referring to a myriad of pathological conditions associated with the monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). The establishment of MGCS expands our current understanding of the pathophysiology of a range of diseases, in which the M protein is often found. Aside from the kidney, the three main organ systems most affected by monoclonal gammopathy include the peripheral nervous system, skin, and eye. The optimal management of these MGUS-related conditions is not known yet due to the paucity of clinical data, the rarity of some syndromes, and limited awareness among healthcare professionals. Currently, two main treatment approaches exist. The first one resembles the now-established therapeutic strategy for monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS), in which chemotherapy with anti-myeloma agents is used to target clonal lesion that is thought to be the culprit of the complex clinical presentation. The second approach includes various systemic immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive options, including intravenous immunoglobulins, corticosteroids, or biological agents. Although some conditions of the MGCS spectrum can be effectively managed with therapies aiming at the etiology or pathogenesis of the disease, evidence regarding other pathologies is severely limited to individual patient data from case reports or series. Future research should pursue filling the gap in knowledge and finding the optimal treatment for this novel clinical category.

Abstract
Several cases of capillary leak syndrome (CLS) related to COVID-19 or vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 have been described in the literature. We present a case of a 42-year-old, previously healthy male, presenting with a mild form of COVID-19, who suddenly developed severe shock with hypotension and severe hemoconcentration within hours of admission to the hospital. Volume resuscitation was not effective, increasing hemoglobin (198 g/L on admission, 222 g/L 9 h later) suggested fluid leak into peripheral tissues. After cardiac arrest, the patient was resuscitated and connected to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, but died shortly afterwards due to refractory heart failure. Retrospective investigation of blood samples confirmed diagnosis of CLS by progressive hypoalbuminemia (40 g/L on admission, 14 g/L 19 h later) and monoclonal gammopathy kappa (4.7 g/L). Patient's CLS was triggered by COVID-19, either a first attack of idiopathic CLS called Clarkson's disease or a COVID-19-induced secondary CLS.

Abstract
Capillary leak syndrome is an under-diagnosed condition leading to serious hypoalbuminemia with diffuse edema, pulmonary edema, severe hypotension, and possibly death. Sepsis leading to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a major risk factor; however, capillary hyper-permeability is the core underlying pathophysiological mechanism. Endothelial dysfunction plays a major role in cardiometabolic disease through insulin resistance, lipotoxicity, and, eventually, oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. We review the literature concerning the aforementioned mechanisms as well-established risk factors for adverse COVID-19 outcomes. We especially focus on data regarding the underlying endothelial effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection, including direct damage and increased vascular leakage through a hyper-inflammatory cascade and diminished nitric oxide bioavailability. Interestingly, an increased incidence of hypoalbuminemia has been observed in patients with severe COVID-19, especially those with underlying cardiometabolic disease. Importantly, low albumin levels present a strong, positive association with poor disease outcomes. Therefore, in this review article, we highlight the important role of cardiovascular risk factors on endothelium integrity and the possible link of endothelial damage in the hypoalbuminemia-associated adverse prognosis of COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
Capillary leak syndrome (CLS) emerged as new adverse event after immunization (AEFI) associated to COVID-19 vaccination. CLS is a rare condition characterized by increased capillary permeability, resulting in hypoalbuminemia, hypotension, and edema mainly in the upper and lower limbs. Our pharmacovigilance study aims to evaluate the CLS onset following receipt of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines (mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2) compared to viral vector vaccines (Ad26.COV2-S and ChAdOx1-SARS-COV-2). We carried a cross-sectional study using all Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs) reporting a COVID-19 vaccine as suspected drug and CLS as AEFI, which were collected in the pharmacovigilance database EudraVigilance from January 1st, 2021, to January 14th, 2022. We applied the Reporting Odds Ratio (ROR) 95% CI for the disproportionality analysis. During our study period, CLS was described as AEFI in 84 out of 1,357,962 ICRs reporting a vaccine COVID-19 as suspected drug and collected in the EV database. Overall, the ICSR reported by CLS were mainly related to the viral vector COVID-19(ChAdOx1-SARS-COV-2 = 36; Ad26.COV2-S = 9). The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were reported in 39 ICSRs (BNT162b2 =33; mRNA-1273 =6). Majority of ICSRs were reported by healthcare professionals (71.4%). Majority of the patients were adult (58.3%) and the female gender accounted in more than 65% of ICSRs referred both to classes vaccines. In particular, women were more represented in ICSRs referred to mRNA-1273 (83.3%) and to ChAdOx1-SARS-COV-2 (72.2%). The CLS outcome was more frequently favorable in mRNA ICSRs (33,3%) than the viral vector ones (13.3%). Among the ICSRs reporting CLS with unfavorable outcome, we found also 9 fatal cases (BNT162b2 = 1; ChAdOx1-SARS-COV-2 = 4; Ad26.COV2-S = 4). From disproportionality analysis emerged a lower CLS reporting probability after vaccination with mRNA vaccines compared to viral vector-based ones (ROR 0.5, 95% CI 0.3–0.7; p <0.001).Our findings, even if subject to the limitations of spontaneous reporting systems, suggest a small but statistically significant safety concern for CLS following receipt of COVID-19 viral vector vaccines, in particular with Ad26.COV2-S. Cytokine-release following T-cell activation could be involved in CLS occurrence, but a precise mechanism has been not yet identified. COVID-19 vaccines remain attentive as possible triggers of CLS.

Abstract
Monoclonal proteins can provide important information on the diagnosis of several non-malignant systemic inflammatory disorders. At low concentration, they most commonly represent monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), whereas high concentrations often signify plasma cell myeloma or B-cell lymphoma. However, several rare inflammatory conditions associated with variable concentrations of monoclonal proteins, systemic symptoms, and organ dysfunction also exist. These conditions are termed monoclonal gammopathies of clinical significance (MGCS). Patients with MGCS might present to rheumatologists with undiagnosed systemic inflammatory disorders and the monoclonal protein provides an important, underappreciated clue for diagnosis. In this Review, we provide an approach to distinguishing MGCS from MGUS and lymphoid neoplasms, focusing on four rare MGCS that rheumatologists must recognise: scleromyxedema, Schnitzler's syndrome, idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (also known as Clarkson's disease), and telangiectasias, elevated erythropoietin and erythrocytosis, monoclonal gammopathy, perinephric fluid collections, and intrapulmonary shunting (known as TEMPI) syndrome.

Abstract
Monoclonal gammopathy associated with dermatological manifestations are a well-recognized complication. These skin disorders can be associated with infiltration and proliferation of a malignant plasma cells or by a deposition of the monoclonal immunoglobulin in a nonmalignant monoclonal gammopathy. These disorders include POEMS syndrome, light chain amyloidosis, Schnitzler syndrome, scleromyxedema and TEMPI syndrome. This article provides a review of clinical manifestations, diagnostics criteria, natural evolution, pathogenesis, and treatment of these cutaneous manifestations.

Abstract
The term capillary leak syndrome (CLS) describes the manifestations associated with an increased capillary permeability to proteins leading to an escape of plasma from the blood circulatory system to surrounding tissues, muscle, organs, or body cavities. This results clinically in the typical triad of hypotension, edema, and elevated hematocrit. The more severe cases of CLS may present with cardiovascular collapse, shock, and death. The most classic form of this pathology is represented by the idiopathic systemic CLS (SCLS) also called Clarkson’s disease, but capillary leaks are also described as adverse drug reactions foremost among which are anticancer drugs. This review will focus on oncologic drugs such as gemcitabine, therapeutic growth factors or cytokines, and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that appear now as the strongest candidates for anticancer drug-induced CLS.

Abstract
A previously 42-year-old healthy man was brought in by an ambulance to the emergency department with symptoms of a distributive shock. He experienced a rapid decline in his clinical state that evolved into a cardiac arrest. Despite all the performed measures and a prolonged resuscitation, the patient died a few hours later without an initial clear diagnosis. Lab results showed an extremely high haemoconcentration leading to further investigations which suggested the possibility of Clarkson's disease, although septic shock as an alternative diagnosis could not be excluded. Nevertheless, because of its presentation, especially emergency and intensive care physicians should be aware of the existence of this condition in the event of an unexplained refractory distributive shock in combination with haemoconcentration and hypoalbuminemia given its possible fatal outcome.

Abstract
Background Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (ISCLS, also known as Clarkson's disease) is a rare medical condition characterized by episodes of capillary endothelial cell dysfunction with leakage of fluid into the interstitial space resulting in severe hypotension, hemoconcentration, hypoalbuminemia, and generalized edema. Each episode can result in multiorgan failure due to systemic hypoperfusion. Case Presentation We report a case of uveal effusion, mimicking uveal melanoma, associated with ISCLS following viral infection. A 74-year-old white male was evaluated in our ocular tumor clinic for a large intraocular mass in the right eye concerning for choroidal melanoma. We completed a review of the literature and list clinical recommendations for these cases. ISCLS, although rare, was a significant diagnostic consideration in this patient. Due to the high mortality rate of this condition, accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment was critical. We hypothesize that the mechanism of choroidal effusion development was due to reduced oncotic pressure from rapid decrease in serum albumin. Increased permeability of choroidal capillaries may be an additional mechanism leading to uveal effusion. Conclusion With treatment, the patient had complete resolution of his choroidal effusion with no recurrence of his ISCLS. Further research should be considered on the role of viral infections in the pathogenesis of ISCLS.

Abstract
Introduction Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is a rare and often fatal clinical entity used to describe a generalized increase in vascular permeability leading to fluid extravasation toward the interstitial compartment. SCLS could be an idiopathic disease or secondary to infections, malignancies or drugs. Case We present a case of presumably granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-induced SCLS in a 21-year-old man diagnosed with T‑lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. He received the 6th cycle (part B) of the hyper-CVAD chemotherapeutic regimen followed by the initiation of neutropenic fever prophylaxis protocol which included antibiotics and G‑CSF. In a course of hours, the patient became dyspneic, hypotensive, and edematous which required intensive care unit admission and was stabilized accordingly. In the following days the patient's anasarca progressively increased which was associated with hypoalbuminemia, hypotension and anemia with pericardial and bilateral plural effusions. As a diagnosis of exclusion augmented by the acuity of such clinical event, observed concomitantly with the administration of the prophylaxis protocol, the suspicion of G‑CSF-induced SCLS was established. Consequently, G‑CSF was discontinued and treatment with dexamethasone and intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) was started. The patient's condition improved significantly illustrated by hemodynamic stability in addition to improvement regarding the anasarca, hypoalbuminemia, and anemia. Follow-up scans suggest resolution of the pericardial and plural effusions. Conclusion SCLS remains a serios and potentially fatal complication of G‑CSF administration which should be taken into consideration, since such medication is widely utilized in oncology wards.

Abstract
Introduction and importance The cappilary leacking syndrome is a very rare disease that can be idiopathic (clarkson syndrome) or secondary to other pathologys. Case presentation We report a case of 37-year-old women who was admitted in the emergency room for a hemodynamic shock of neither cardiac nor septic cause, and the patient wasn't presenting any bleeding. The investigations showed that the diagnosis was a Clarkson syndrome crisis and the patient was having supportive treatment containing fluid therapy, vasoactive drugs, and ECMO. And died after 48h of hospitalization. Clinical discussion the cappilary leacking syndrome is a very fatal affection, its physiopathologis remains unknown. It evoluate by crisis made by hypotension and anasarca, in severe cases it is presented as fatal hypovolemic schock. Biological investigations show hemoconcentration associated with hypoalbunemia which is pathognomonic of the disease. The treatment is essentially based on crisis treatment support by fluid therapy, vasoactives drugs, some practicien report the use of theophilyn for prevention but without any proven efficiency. Conclusion For all this reasons we are in the obligation of investing in fundamental studies to better understand this fatal disease. The cappilary leacking syndrome is a very rare disease. The physiopathology of cappilary leck syndrom remains unknown. It evoluate by crisis made by hypotension and anasarca, in severe cases it is presented as fatal hypovolemic schock. Hemoconcentration associated with hypoalbunemia is pathognomonic of the disease.

Abstract
Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is a rare disorder manifesting as shock, hemoconcentration, and hypoalbuminemia, which may be either idiopathic or secondary to an underlying disease process. We report a case of an adult with COVID-19 infection associated with new onset SCLS. Our case joins only two other cases of new SCLS associated with COVID-19 infection reported in the literature. The clinical and laboratory findings in this case are distinct from findings seen in COVID-19 cytokine storm syndrome. Whether our therapeutic approach was efficacious is unknown. Further research into causes and therapies for these syndromes is urgently indicated.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is a rare disorder characterized by hypotension, hemoconcentration, and hypoalbuminemia associated with increased capillary endothelium permeability. Patients with a chronic form of SCLS present with persistent and progressive generalized edema. However, there have been no reports of chronic SCLS in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Herein, we report a case of chronic SCLS associated with an intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) in a patient undergoing hemodialysis.
Case presentation
A 71-year-old male had been on hemodialysis for five years due to diabetic nephropathy. Difficulty in body fluid removal was observed during hemodialysis, and the patient was admitted to our hospital due to exacerbated weight gain and lower limb edema. He had elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels and thrombocytopenia. His blood pressure was low, and his serum brain natriuretic peptide level was relatively low, despite the increase in body fluid volume. His clinical characteristics suggested a chronic form of SCLS. Random skin biopsy revealed IVLBCL; however, the association between IVLBCL and chronic SCLS remained unclear. He underwent chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone, followed by rituximab. After the treatment, his serum LDH level decreased, and the difficulty in body fluid removal during hemodialysis improved. The patient’s chronic SCLS seemed to be complicated by IVLBCL.
Conclusions
Patients with chronic SCLS who are undergoing hemodialysis seem to present with difficulties in fluid removal. The frequency of SCLS complications in cases with malignant lymphomas, including IVLBCL, is considered to be extremely low. However, clinicians should be aware of SCLS as a complication of malignant lymphomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) is an autoimmune disease that typically presents with classic skin rashes and proximal muscle weakness. Anasarca is a rare manifestation of this disease and is associated with a more severe and refractory course, requiring increased immunosuppression. Early recognition of this atypical presentation of JDM may lead to earlier treatment and better outcomes. CASE PRESENTATION We present two female patients, ages 11 years old and 4 years old, who presented to the ED with anasarca and were subsequently diagnosed with JDM. Both patients required ICU-level care and significant immunosuppression, including prolonged courses of IV methylprednisolone, IVIG, and Rituximab. CONCLUSIONS Anasarca is a rare presentation of Juvenile Dermatomyositis, but it is important for clinicians to recognize this manifestation of the disease. Early recognition and treatment will lead to better outcomes in these children and hopefully decrease the need for prolonged hospitalization and ICU level care.

Abstract
We report 2 fatal exacerbations of systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS), also known as Clarkson disease, associated with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the United States. One patient carried an established diagnosis of SCLS and the other sought treatment for new-onset hypotensive shock, hemoconcentration, and anasarca, classic symptoms indicative of an SCLS flare. Both patients had only mild-to-moderate symptoms of COVID-19. This clinical picture suggests that these patients succumbed to complications of SCLS induced by infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Persons with known or suspected SCLS may be at increased risk for developing a disease flare in the setting of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 infection.

Abstract
Although capillary leak syndrome has a high mortality rate, its trigger, diagnosis, and treatment remain a challenge to clinicians because of the poor understanding of its mechanism and lack of treatment guidelines. With the extended use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in modern oncology, immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated immune-related adverse events have also expanded. We present a case of pembrolizumab-induced capillary leak syndrome and lymphatic capillary dysfunction in which the patient had an excellent clinical response to a tailored treatment strategy.

Abstract
Capillary leak syndrome (CLS) is an increasingly acknowledged multifaceted and potentially lethal disease. Initial nonspecific symptoms are followed by the intriguing CLS hallmark: the double paradox associating diffuse severe edema and hypovolemia, along with hemoconcentration and hypoalbuminemia. Spontaneous resolutive phase is often associated with poor outcome due to iatrogenic fluid overload during leak phase. CLS is mainly triggered by drugs (anti-tumoral therapies), malignancy, infections (mostly viruses) and inflammatory diseases. Its idiopathic form is named after its eponymous finder: Clarkson's disease. CLS pathophysiology involves a severe, transient and multifactorial endothelial disruption which mechanisms are still unclear. Empirical and based-on-experience treatment implies symptomatic care during the acute phase (with the eventual addition of drugs amplifying cAMP levels in the severest cases), and the prophylactic use of monthly polyvalent immunoglobulins to prevent relapses. As CLS literature is scattered, we aimed to collect and summarize the current knowledge on CLS to facilitate its diagnosis, understanding and management.

Abstract
Capillary leak syndrome (CLS) is characterized by plasma extravasation into the interstitium with resultant hypotension, anasarca, hemoconcentration, and hypoalbuminemia in the absence of albuminuria. Initially reported in Clarkson’s disease (systemic capillary leak syndrome), CLS has been observed in multiple disease settings, the most common being sepsis. In oncology, CLS has been reported more often as a complication from therapy, and less often from malignancy. In this case study, we documented clinical manifestation, laboratory features, and radiological findings of CLS from rituximab therapy when employed in combination with a multi-agent chemotherapy regimen (EPOCH-R). Differentiating drug-induced CLS from sepsis, which presents with the same clinical features, is important in avoiding further exposure to rituximab, which could be fatal to the patient.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (ISCLS) also known as Clarkson syndrome is a rare and sudden life-threatening entity. Three consecutive phases are described. A first non-specific prodromal phase often manifests as "flu-like" symptoms and precedes capillary leak phase with major hypovolemic and distributive shock leading to serious and frequent multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Severe hypovolemia contrasts with edema, and hemoconcentration with hypoalbuminemia. ISCLS is characterized by these two clinical and biological paradoxes. Subsequent recovery phase exhibits organ function restoration along with interstitial/intravascular volumes normalization. The latter occurs spontaneously and systematically in patients surviving from leak phase. OBSERVATIONS We report here two ISCLS cases admitted in intensive care unit (ICU) both enhancing initial misdiagnosis possibly lowering prognosis and outcome. Our first 28-year-old female patient was admitted for « polycythemia vera » although hemoconcentration was attributable to hypovolemia. She presented circulatory arrest during the second bloodletting session and complicated with MODS. In and out ICU favorable outcome was noted on intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. A second 57-year-old male patient was admitted in ICU for severe "myositis" (myalgia and rhabdomyolysis) although rectified diagnosis retained compartment syndrome (muscular severe edema following capillary leak). Rapid and refractory hypovolemic shock appeared with subsequent MODS leading to death. CONCLUSION ISCLS pathophysiology remains unknown but certainly implies transitory endothelial dysfunction. Impossibility of randomized controlled trial for this exceptional disease led to based-on-experience therapeutic guidelines implying symptomatic care (cardiac output surveillance, nephroprotection, prudent fluid intake, prudent vasoactive amine use) and specific therapies (intravenous aminophylline during severe flares). Although enhancing controversial and even deleterious effects during the acute phase, polyvalent immunoglobulins are effective for relapse prevention. Syndromic diagnosis is difficult, but its precocious finding constitutes a key-element in better outcome before organ failure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (ISCLS) is a rare cryptogenic disorder characterized by recurrent hemoconcentration, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hypotension due to extravascular fluid leakage. This is the first report that details uncommon extensive leukoencephalopathy caused by ISCLS upon a neuropathological investigation. CASE REPORT A 68-year-old female had recurrent episodes of hemoconcentration, hypoalbuminemia, and generalized edema and was diagnosed with ISCLS. After 9 years, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) incidentally revealed extensive leukoencephalopathy without neurological deficits. Thorough examinations ruled out other disorders, and the cerebral involvement due to ISCLS was finally diagnosed. Three years later, she developed an acute-onset coma and status epilepticus together with hypotension and hemoconcentration, which were compatible with ISCLS recurrence. Electroencephalogram and MRI were correlated with a seizure arising from the left hemisphere. Extensive leukoencephalopathy did not show notable changes for 3 years. Although treatment for ISCLS recurrence temporally improved hemoconcentration and consciousness, consciousness worsened again by marked edema of the left hemisphere, and she died of cerebral herniation. A brain autopsy revealed straggly perivascular plasma leakage around the small vessels of the deep white matter, which supported that the leukoencephalopathy was caused by ISCLS. Widespread myelin pallor and decreased axonal density with sparse astrogliosis and microgliosis were observed in the cerebral white matter and corresponded with a chronic change in the MRI. CONCLUSION Current radiological and pathological observations revealed that frequent perivascular leakages could cause chronic leukoencephalopathy, were linked with the development of systemic capillary leakage in ISCLS, and provided insights into the mysterious pathophysiology.

Abstract
Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (ISCLS) is a potentially fatal disorder characterised by 'attacks' of varying intensity of hypovolemic shock in association with haemoconcentration and hypoalbuminaemia. It is a disease of exclusion, and the severity of attacks may mimic sepsis at presentation. We report a case of a lady with recurrent attacks of ISCLS with at least two life-threatening episodes, having been treated elsewhere as a case of steroid insufficiency. The diagnosis is often challenging, and treatment of an acute episode involves the judicious use of fluids and vasopressors, as required. Prophylaxis to prevent further attacks is of varied success.

A Remarkable Coexistence of Systemic Capillary Leak Syndrome and Diabetes in an 11-Year-Old Boy: A Case Report and Review of the Literature. Case Reports Immunol 2020; 2020:8891902. [PMID: 32953187 PMCID: PMC7482009 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8891902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2020] [Revised: 08/18/2020] [Accepted: 08/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Systemic capillary leak syndrome (ISCLS) is a rare disease characterized by unexplained reversible capillary hyperpermeability followed by hypoperfusion, hemoconcentration, and either hypoalbuminemia or total hypoproteinemia. An 11-year-old boy was admitted with vomiting, generalized edema, and hyperglycemia, which was preceded by 5 days of coryzal symptoms, lethargy, and oral aft, without fever. On physical examination, he had tachycardia and hypotension, with severe generalized systemic nonitchy edema, and the laboratory tests supported the conclusion that he had severe hemoconcentration with hemoglobin: 184 g/L, hematocrit: 51.3 %, urea: 20 mmol/L, blood glucose: 11.1 mmol/L, and albumin: 19 gr/L, with normal urine analysis. On the fourth day, the patient was diagnosed with ISCLS, by ruling out other causes of shock and hypoalbuminemia. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment regimen was administered on two consecutive days (day five and day six). His edema decreased on the fifth day, and the patient was deemed clinically well. There was no compartment syndrome, rhabdomyolysis, or pulmonary edema in the recovery period. However, respiratory virus panel PCR was positive for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and enterovirus, which were thought to be the triggering cause of ISCLS. For the differential diagnosis of diabetes, his fasting serum glucose was 13.4 mmol/L, simultaneous C-peptide was 0.44 nmol/L, and HbA1c was 64 mmol/mol, and urine ketone was positive. However, antiglutamic acid decarboxylase, anti-insulin antibody, and islet cell antibody were negative. At the last outpatient visit, 22 months after the diagnosis, his insulin dose was still 0.4 IU/kg/day and HbA1c was 40 mmol/mol, and without prophylaxis, there was no ISCLS attack. Conclusion. Early recognition of ISCLS is important for therapeutic awareness, since it is very rare in childhood and occurs usually without any prior provoking factors in healthy children. With the increase in awareness of the disease, knowledge and experiences about pediatric patients may also increase. We think that our case will contribute to the literature since there have been no pediatric diabetic patients with ISCLS reported.

Abstract
With adrenocortical carcinoma, tumoral secretion is present in 25 to 75% of the cases. In the absence of excessive hormonal production, the diagnosis is often delayed. Isolated liver metastatic lesion may develop after several years of follow-up. Resection of a large intrahepatic malignant lesion may be complicated by a secondary capillary leak syndrome.
Introduction Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare type of malignant adrenal tumor with a possibility of delayed metastases. Diagnosis may be delayed with a non-secreting tumor or metastasis, and even in this case, surgical management may be complicate. Presentation of case A 55-year-old man underwent elective surgery for the resection of a large intra-hepatic mass from an undetermined type according to a recent liver biopsy. He had a previous history of a non-secreting adrenal tumor that was operated ten years before. Pre-operatively, he was poorly symptomatic, with a normal arterial blood pressure. Anesthesia induction was uneventful, but at the time of tumor resection and removal, he developed extreme vasoplegia and shock with anuric renal failure, lactic acidosis, four-limb and abdominal compartment syndrome. The patient died on day 9 from delayed septic complications. According to the pathological findings, the tumor was a non-secreting adrenocortical carcinoma. Discussion Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is rare condition with diverse clinical manifestations due to excessive hormonal production when the tumor is secreting and mimicking pheochromocytoma. Our patient underwent the resection a large intrahepatic non-secreting metastasis more than ten years after the initial lesion. Peri-operative and post-operative management was complicated by a refractory shock with the characteristics of a secondary systemic capillary leak syndrome. The role of endothelial lesions may be discussed. Conclusion Surgery of metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma may be complicated by severe hemodynamic complications, even in the absence of hormonal secretion.

Abstract
Systemic capillary leak syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by dysfunctional inflammatory response, endothelial dysfunction, and extravasation of fluid from the vascular space to the interstitial space leading to shock, hemoconcentration, hypoalbuminemia, and subsequent organ failure. The condition may be idiopathic or secondary to an underlying cause, which can include viral infections. Here we describe a patient with acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection who presented with hemoconcentration, shock, and hypoalbuminemia. The patient subsequently developed rhabdomyolysis and compartment syndrome of all four extremities, requiring fasciotomies. This is the first reported case of systemic capillary leak syndrome associated with COVID-19 infection. This case adds to the evolving spectrum of inflammatory effects associated with this viral infection.

Abstract
Background Capillary leak syndrome (CLS) is a rare connective tissue disease, triggered by the leak of serous fluid into the interstitial spaces, characterized by a hallmark of oedema and effusions in confined spaces. The limiting factor in CLS management appears to be its diagnosis rather than treatment, which is usually to contain the disease progression rather than a cure. Case summary We report a case of a 51-year-old woman with recurrent life-threatening presentations of pericardial effusions, pleural effusions, and generalized swelling of face and extremities. The only notable past medical history was of Type 1 diabetes. Numerous investigations did not lead to specific disease accounting for pericardial effusions and pleural effusions. Eventually, the diagnosis of CLS was made based on hypovolaemic shock, hypoalbuminaemia, and haemoconcentration without the presence of albuminuria. She was managed with steroids to reduce system inflammation and later with immunoglobulins and tumour necrosis factor to contain the disease process. Since her diagnosis and subsequent appropriate management, she has not had further admissions with cardiac tamponade 16 months of follow-up. Discussion The diagnosis of CLS is difficult to make unless there is a high degree of suspicion and until other causes have been ruled out. It remains a challenging condition to manage as the treatment options are limited and patients recurrently present with emergencies until the correct diagnosis is made and the optimal treatment is provided.

Abstract
Capillary leak syndrome (CLS) is a rare but fatal disease, which has been reported following the infusions of interleukin-2, tumor necrosis factor, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, certain monoclonal antibodies, and gemcitabine, suggesting that drugs can also cause CLS. In this study, seven Wilm's tumor cases with CLS had been presented, which was suggested to be caused following administration of vincristine (VCR). From January 1st, 2014 to December 31st, 2016, medical records from Wilm's tumor patients were reviewed to identify those diagnosed with CLS. Moreover, the following data were extracted for each patient, including age, gender, histological subtyping, tumor stage, risk group, biomarkers, chemotherapy regimen and dosage, surgery details, clinical manifestation of CLS, treatment regimen of CLS, and patient outcomes. From January 1st, 2014 to December 31st, 2016, a total of seven patients with Wilms tumor were identified with a diagnosis of VCR-associated CLS. Typically, for these seven cases in our study, the predominant features of CLS included interstitial pneumonia and pulmonary edema. Moreover, steroid therapy was demonstrated as the most effective therapy in our study. The clinical features of VCR-induced CLS are distinct, and pediatric oncologists should be aware of CLS that manifests as interstitial pneumonia and pulmonary edema during the VCR treatment for patients with Wilm's tumor.
