2001. A 17-Year-Old Girl Diagnosed With STING-Associated Vasculopathy With Onset in Infancy (SAVI) After Lung Transplantation.
A 17-year-old girl received lung transplantation after chronic respiratory failure. She developed a fever (> 38 °C) once or twice weekly starting 2 months after surgery, and multiple papulopustules on the skin waxed and waned for 4 months. She then developed blood-tinged sputum. She had been treated with triple immunosuppressants, including prednisolone, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil after lung transplantation, and her symptoms appeared during prednisolone dose reduction.

Although sarcoidosis is an established cause of multiorgan dysfunction, acute presentation with thrombotic microangiopathy resulting in severe renal and hematological sequelae has not been reported. We describe the case of a patient presenting with hypercalcemia, pancreatitis, and acute renal failure, followed by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. Although there were no significant respiratory symptoms, thoracic radiology and mediastinal lymph node biopsy results were in keeping with sarcoidosis as the underlying cause of this multisystem presentation. Corticosteroids were commenced with clinical and biochemical improvement. This novel case highlights the need to consider sarcoidosis as part of the differential diagnosis for unusual multiorgan presentations and for early multidisciplinary involvement in such cases to permit optimal treatment.

Data on the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in people with HIV are limited. Moreover, whether the associations between SDB and age or BMI differ by HIV status is unknown.

The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) considers blood eosinophil counts < 100 cells/μL (BEC≤100) in people with COPD to predict poor inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) responsiveness. However, the BEC≤100 phenotype is inadequately characterized, especially in advanced COPD.
