She later presented a recurrent bone marrow involvement treated with intramuscular paromomycin and miltefosine. She died two years later from leukemia. At the time of death, she presented with a mucosal destruction of the nose. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Fever
Due to continual pathological signals in liver and lungs, persistent fever, and an M-component in peripheral blood, a new course of four rituximab doses was given, after which the fever settled, the PET scan normalized, and the M-component disappeared [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Swelling
Other side effects associated with mercaptopurine are shortness of breath, swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet, yellowing of the skin or eyes, swelling of the stomach area, pale skin, sore throat, unusual bruising or bleeding, loss of appetite, diarrhea [findatopdoc.com]
Some people may also experience swelling of the gums while taking cyclosporine. Be sure to brush and floss regularly; this routine may alleviate some of this swelling. [hopkinslupus.org]

Imaging showed multiple ischemic strokes. Because serial angiograms demonstrated findings similar to the first patient, he underwent temporal artery biopsy that showed GCA. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Strokes, acute myocardial infarctions, and pulmonary emboli occurring as complications of SLE are managed in the same way as they are in patients without SLE. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
For maintenance therapy, no treatment was better for all outcomes and no treatment appeared most effective at reducing graft loss. BEL + MMF appeared more effective than TAC + MMF and SRL + MMF at reducing mortality. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis

ZAP70 is also overexpressed in some individuals with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, and these individuals have an especially poor prognosis. ZAP70 might therefore also be a useful therapeutic target in these patients. [ebi.ac.uk]
We conclude that in children without a MSD treatment with combined IST and G-CSF converts the former bad prognosis factor severe granulocytopenia into an indicator of better response and survival. [bloodjournal.org]
Etiology
Whether anti-GAD antibodies have an etiological role in these neurological disorders or simply serve as disease markers is unclear. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
It is hoped that these new agents and personalized immunosuppression will provide for less toxic regimens that are effective in preventing both acute and chronic allograft rejection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It also is used in combination with glucocorticoids and a calcineurin inhibitor to prevent transplant rejection. [britannica.com]
The problem with high-dose treatment, the scientists reasoned, might be that along with preventing the "bad" attack of immune cells against the organ, it prevents the "good" elimination of those attacking cells. [upmc.com]
