Description
General description
Anti-cytokine antibodies occur frequently and are present in healthy individuals and patients with acquired immunodeficiency and autoimmune diseases. Cytokines offering protection against microbes can be targeted by cytokine autoantibodies, leading to life-threatening infections. Some infections associated with anti-cytokine antibodies include M. tuberculosis, Salmonella, S. aureus. E. coli, Histoplasma, and more. The presence of cytokine autoantibodies in autoimmune disease can influence disease severity and activity. These autoimmune diseases may include systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, Sjögren′s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
