Introduction It is unknown if a temporary break in long-term immune-suppressive treatment after vaccination against COVID-19 improves vaccine response. The objective of this study was to evaluate if a 2-week interruption in low-dose weekly methotrexa...

Journal Article
Kuo, C.-F., Grainge, M. J., Valdes, A. M., See, L.-C., Luo, S.-F., Yu, K.-H., …Doherty, M. (2015). Familial Aggregation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Coaggregation of Autoimmune Diseases in Affected Families. JAMA Internal Medicine, 175(9), 1518-1526. https://doi.org/10.1001/jamainternmed.2015.3528

IMPORTANCE: Relatives of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) appear to be at higher risk of SLE and other autoimmune diseases, but estimates of individual familial risks are largely unavailable or unreliable. Furthermore, relative contri... Read More about Familial Aggregation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Coaggregation of Autoimmune Diseases in Affected Families.
