⭐️Increased susceptibility to a certain most common adult vasculitis is conferred by this HLA allele
➡️HLA DRB10404
@RheumNow
Differentiation between a flare of disease and infection in patients with autoinflammatory (AI) conditions, where fever is the hallmark, can be extremely difficult. Few studies have evaluated potential differentiators; and having such tools would meet a huge unmet need.

TCZ in GCA: one disadvantage is that you can't use CRP+/- ESR for flares
Mavrilimumab in GCA:
- CRP/ESR consistently go up with symptomatic flares
- CRP/ESR up less (cf. placebo), in the absence of Sx flares
More signal, less noise.

Baricitinib for *relapsing* GCA (Th1+Th17)
w abbreviated steroid wean (15-22w)
Despite being tougher to treat:
100% off steroids at 24w
93% off steroids at 52w
no ischemic Sx
promising as another GCA Rx option!
(post-cessation 4pts flared)
