Abstract
We conducted a national in-depth analysis including pharmacovigilance reports and clinical study to assess the reporting rate (RR) and to determine the clinical profile of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and giant cell arteritis (GCA) in COVID-19-vaccinated individuals. First, based on the French pharmacovigilance database, we estimated the RR of PMR and GCA cases in individuals aged over 50 who developed their initial symptoms within one month of receiving the BNT162b2 mRNA, mRNA-1273, ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, and Ad26.COV2.S vaccines. We then conducted a nationwide survey to gather clinical profiles, therapeutic management, and follow-up data from individuals registered in the pharmacovigilance study. A total of 70 854 684 COVID-19 vaccine doses were administered to 25 260 485 adults, among which, 179 cases of PMR (RR 7. 1 cases/1 000 000 persons) and 54 cases of GCA (RR 2. 1 cases/1 000 000 persons) have been reported. The nationwide survey allowed the characterization of 60 PMR and 35 GCA cases. Median time to the onset of first symptoms was 10 (range 2-30) and 7 (range 2-25) days for PMR and GCA, respectively. Phenotype, GCA-related ischemic complications and -large vessel vasculitis as well as therapeutic management and follow-up seemed similar according to the number of vaccine shots received and when compared to the literature data of unvaccinated population. Although rare, the short time between immunization and the onset of first symptoms of PMR and GCA suggests a temporal association. Physician should be aware of this potential vaccine-related phenomenon.

Abstract
Acquired mutations in the UBA1 gene were recently identified in patients with severe adult-onset auto-inflammatory syndrome called VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic). However, the precise physiological and clinical impact of these mutations remains poorly defined. Here we study a unique prospective cohort of VEXAS patients. We show that monocytes from VEXAS are quantitatively and qualitatively impaired and display features of exhaustion with aberrant expression of chemokine receptors. In peripheral blood from VEXAS patients, we identify an increase in circulating levels of many proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β and IL-18 which reflect inflammasome activation and markers of myeloid cells dysregulation. Gene expression analysis of whole blood confirms these findings and also reveals a significant enrichment of TNF-α and NFκB signaling pathways that can mediate cell death and inflammation. This study suggests that the control of the nflammasome activation and inflammatory cell death could be therapeutic targets in VEXAS syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A new autoinflammatory syndrome related to somatic mutations of UBA1 was recently described and called VEXAS syndrome. OBJECTIVE To describe clinical characteristics, laboratory findings and outcomes of VEXAS syndrome. DESIGN Case-series. SETTING Patients referred to a French multicenter registry between November 2020 and May 2021. PATIENTS 116 patients with VEXAS syndrome. MEASUREMENTS Frequency and median of parameters and vital status, from diagnosis to the end of the follow-up. RESULTS Main clinical features were skin lesions (83.5%), non-infectious fever (63.6%), weight loss (62%), lung involvement (49.6%), ocular symptoms (38.8%), relapsing chondritis (36.4%), venous thrombosis (34.7%), lymph nodes (33.9%), and arthralgia (27.3%). Hematological disease was present in 58 cases (50%), considered as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS, n= 58) and monoclonal gammapathy of unknown significance (n=12).UBA1 mutations included p.M41T (44.8%), p.M41V (30.2%), p.M41L (18.1%), and splice mutations (6.9%). After a median follow-up of 3.0 years, 18 patients died (15.5%), from infectious origin (n=9) and MDS progression (n=3). Unsupervised analysis identified 3 clusters: cluster 1 (47%) with mild-to-moderate disease; cluster 2 (16%) with underlying MDS and higher mortality rates; cluster 3 (37%) with constitutional manifestations, higher C-reactive protein levels and less frequent chondritis. Five-year probability of survival was 84.2% in cluster 1, 50.5 % in cluster 2, and 89.6% in cluster 3. UBA1 p.Met41Leu mutation was associated with a better prognosis. CONCLUSION VEXAS syndrome displays a large spectrum of organ manifestations and shows different clinical and prognostic profiles. It also raises a potential impact of the identified UBA1 mutation.

Abstract
Because Q fever is mostly diagnosed serologically, localizing a persistent focus of Coxiella burnetii infection can be challenging. F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) could be an interesting tool in this context.We performed a retrospective study on patients diagnosed with C burnetii infection, who had undergone F-FDG PET/CT between 2009 and 2015. When positive F-FDG PET/CT results were obtained, we tried to determine if it changed the previous diagnosis by discovering or confirming a suspected focus of C burnetii infection.One hundred sixty-seven patients benefited from F-FDG PET/CT. The most frequent clinical subgroup before F-FDG PET/CT was patients with no identified focus of infection, despite high IgG1 serological titers (34%). For 59% (n = 99) of patients, a hypermetabolic focus was identified. For 62 patients (62.6%), the positive F-FDG PET/CT allowed the diagnosis to be changed. For 24 of them, (38.7%), a previously unsuspected focus of infection was discovered. Forty-two (42%) positive patients had more than 1 hypermetabolic focus. We observed 21 valvular foci, 34 vascular foci, and a high proportion of osteoarticular localizations (n = 21). We also observed lymphadenitis (n = 27), bone marrow hypermetabolism (n = 11), and 9 pulmonary localizations.We confirmed thatF-FDG PET/CT is a central tool in the diagnosis of C burnetii focalized persistent infection. We proposed new diagnostic scores for 2 main clinical entities identified using F-FDG PET/CT: osteoarticular persistent infections and lymphadenitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coxiella burnetii endocarditis is considered to be a late complication of Q fever in patients with preexisting valvular heart disease (VHD). We observed a large transient aortic vegetation in a patient with acute Q fever and high levels of IgG anticardiolipin antibodies (IgG aCL). Therefore, we sought to determine how commonly acute Q fever could cause valvular vegetations associated with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, which would be a new clinical entity. METHODS We performed a consecutive case series between January 2007 and April 2014 at the French National Referral Center for Q fever. Age, sex, history of VHD, immunosuppression, and IgG aCL assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were tested as potential predictors. RESULTS Of the 759 patients with acute Q fever and available echocardiographic results, 9 (1.2%) were considered to have acute Q fever endocarditis, none of whom had a previously known VHD. After multiple adjustment, very high IgG aCL levels (>100 immunoglobulin G-type phospholipid units; relative risk [RR], 24.9 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 4.5-140.2]; P = .002) and immunosuppression (RR, 10.1 [95% CI, 3.0-32.4]; P = .002) were independently associated with acute Q fever endocarditis. CONCLUSIONS Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome with valvular vegetations in acute Q fever is a new clinical entity. This would suggest the value of systematically testing for C. burnetii in antiphospholipid-associated cardiac valve disease, and performing early echocardiography and antiphospholipid dosages in patients with acute Q fever.

Abstract
The association between cancer and sarcoidosis is controversial. Some epidemiological studies show an increase of the incidence of cancer in patients with sarcoidosis but only few cases of sarcoidosis following cancer treatment have been reported. We conducted a retrospective case study from internal medicine and oncology departments for patients presenting sarcoidosis after solid cancer treatment. We also performed a literature review to search for patients who developed sarcoidosis after solid cancer. We describe the clinical, biological, and radiological characteristics and outcome of these patients. Twelve patients were included in our study. Various cancers were observed with a predominance of breast cancer. Development of sarcoidosis appeared in the 3 years following cancer and was asymptomatic in half of the patients. The disease was frequently identified after a follow-up positron emission tomography computerized tomography evaluation. Various manifestations were observed but all patients presented lymph node involvement. Half of the patients required systemic therapy. With a median follow-up of 73 months, no patient developed cancer relapse. Review of the literature identified 61 other patients for which the characteristics of both solid cancer and sarcoidosis were similar to those observed in our series. This report demonstrates that sarcoidosis must be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with a history of malignancy who have developed lymphadenopathy or other lesions on positron emission tomography computerized tomography. Histological confirmation of cancer relapse is mandatory in order to avoid unjustified treatments. This association should be consider as a protective factor against cancer relapse.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this article, we report and discuss the clinical presentation and management of idiosyncratic drug-induced agranulocytosis (neutrophil count <0.5 × 10(9)/l). RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS Idiosyncratic drug-induced agranulocytosis remains a potentially serious adverse event owing to the frequency of severe sepsis with severe deep tissue infections (e.g., pneumonia), septicemia and septic shock in approximately two-thirds of all hospitalized patients. However, several prognostic factors have recently been identified that may be helpful in practice to identify 'susceptible' patients. Old age (>65 years), septicemia or shock, metabolic disorders such as renal failure and a neutrophil count below 0.1 × 10(9)/l are currently consensually accepted as poor prognostic factors. In this potentially life-threatening disorder, modern management with broad-spectrum antibiotics and hematopoietic growth factors (particularly granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) is likely to improve prognosis. Thus, with appropriate management, the mortality rate from idiosyncratic drug-induced agranulocytosis is currently approximately 5%.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this review is to evaluate the usefulness of oral cobalamin (vitamin B12) treatment. MATERIAL AND METHOD PubMed was systematically searched for English and French articles published from January 1990 to January 2007. RESULTS Prospective randomized studies (n = 3), a systematic review by the Cochrane group (n = 1) and prospective studies in well-determined population (n = 5) provide evidence that oral cyanocobalamin therapy may adequately treat cobalamin deficiency in elderly patients. However, the current literature may not suggest a strategy in terms of the form (hydroxy- or cyanocobalamin), frequency and duration of the treatment. CONCLUSION This present review confirms the previously reported efficacy of oral cyanocobalamin treatment in elderly patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonrandom distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) quasispecies (compartmentalization between blood plasma and leukocytes) suggests the presence of HCV leukotropic variants. HCV compartmentalization in the setting of liver transplantation (LT) is poorly understood. To study HCV leukotropic variants, we investigated the evolution of HCV compartmentalization after immunosuppression in liver transplant recipients. METHODS Plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples were collected from 5 liver transplant recipients before and after LT. We used clone sequencing to analyze the hypervariable region 1 (HVR1)-E2(384-419) region, which plays a key role in HCV entry and the induction of neutralizing responses, and assessed compartmentalization through phylogenetic analyses and Mantel's test. RESULTS Compartmentalization was frequent in the LT setting. HCV quasispecies were more homogeneous after LT in both the plasma and PBMC compartments, with a significant decrease in quasispecies complexity (P = .003) and genetic distances (P = .004) after transplantation. Our analysis identified 8 PBMC-related amino acid residues in HVR1. CONCLUSIONS HCV compartmentalization between plasma and PBMCs and the emergence of leukotropic variants could be potentiated by immunosuppression in liver transplant recipients. The identification of defined leukotropic variants may contribute to the understanding of virus-host interactions after transplantation.

Abstract
Besides hepatocytes, representing the main replication site of hepatitis C virus, peripheral blood mononuclear cells also represent a crucial target for viral infection. Hepatitis C virus compartmentalization (i.e., non-random distribution) of viral variants between plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, more frequently observed in liver transplant patients compared to non-transplanted patients, makes liver transplantation an interesting model for the analysis of hepatitis C leukotropism. This article aims to present, firstly, in clinical and biological features arguing favour of hepatitis C virus infection leukotropism and, secondly, to review current knowledge about compartmentalization between plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, especially in the liver transplantation setting.

Abstract
Idiosyncratic drug-induced agranulocytosis is a potential adverse event of most drugs, rare but life-threatening. Its annual incidence does not exceed 10 cases per million population in Europe and has remained stable over the past two decades. Its pathogenesis is poorly understood. The principal drugs associated with it are antithyroid drugs, antibiotics including trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole, and beta-lactamines, ticlopidine, sulfasalazine and dipyrone. Clinical presentation is highly variable but a severe infection is observed in more than one third of cases. Poor prognostic factors include a neutrophil count under 100/mm(3), age > 65 years, septicemia or shock, and severe comorbidity. Improvement in the management of infectious complications and the use of hematopoietic growth factors in severe cases helps explain that mortality rate has fallen to less than 5%.

Abstract
With the introduction of automated assays for measuring serum cobalamin levels over the last decades, the hematological manifestations related to cobalamin deficiency have been changed from the description reported in 'old' studies or textbooks. We studied the hematological manifestations or abnormalities in 201 patients (median age: 67 +/- 6 years) with well-documented cobalamin deficiency (mean serum vitamin B12 levels 125 +/- 47 pg/ml) extracted from an observational cohort study (1995-2003). Assessment included clinical features, blood count and morphological review. Hematological abnormalities were reported in at least two-third of the patients: anemia (37%), leukopenia (13.9%), thrombopenia (9.9%), macrocytosis (54%) and hypegmented neutrophils (32%). The mean hemoglobin level was 10.3 +/- 0.4 g/dl and the mean erythrocyte cell volume 98.9 +/- 25.6 fl. Approximately 10% of the patients have life-threatening hematological manifestations with documented symptomatic pancytopenia (5%), 'pseudo' thrombotic microangiopathy (Moschkowitz; 2.5%), severe anemia (defined as Hb levels <6 g/dl; 2.5%) and hemolytic anemia (1.5%). Correction of the hematological abnormalities was achieved in at least two-thirds of the patients, equally well in patients treated with either intramuscular or oral crystalline cyanocobalamin. This study, based on real data from a single institution with a large number of consecutive patients with well-documented cobalamin deficiency, confirms several 'older' findings that were previously reported before the 1990s in several studies and in textbooks.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This case report describes a rare situation in which a superinfected cyst of the urachus complicated initially unknown and inactive Crohn's disease. CASE A 21-year-old man presented a chronic fever finally attributed to a superinfected urachal cyst. Six months after ablation of the cyst, progressive Crohn's disease was diagnosed. DISCUSSION The association of Crohn's disease and a superinfected urachal cyst is extremely rare. The case reported here is original in two aspects: the slowly progressive Crohn's disease was diagnosed after its complication; the superinfection developed through local bacterial translocation (ileal loop adjacent to the urachal cyst).

Abstract
In the adult, the urachus remains as a non-specific fibrous formation extended from the bladder dome to the Retzius space. This urachal remnant is commonly asymptomatic or may be revealed by a cyst. This later may also be asymptomatic or lead to local inflammation or inflammatory pseudo-tumor. We report an original observation of chronic fever revealing an urachal cyst in a 21-Year-old male.
