Abstract Introduction Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is crucial for saving lives when used appropriately. This study aimed to assess TPE's impact on tumor necrosis factor‐like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) protein and IL‐6 levels in critically ill pediatric patients. Methods Conducted between May 2022 December 2022, the observed intensive care unit (PICU) patients undergoing TPE, recording demographics, lab results, TWEAK, pre‐ post‐procedure. Results Of 41 patients, 53.7% were male, 51.2% had underlying conditions, 39% showed sepsis symptoms. significantly rose post‐TPE ( p : 0.006), while TWEAK dropped 0.030). Positive correlations found interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) pre‐TPE ventilation duration, ferritin <0.05), organ failure indicators, D‐Dimer <0.05). Prognosis no significant difference IL‐6/TWEAK >0.05). Conclusion Serum can indicate disease severity inflammation level, but may not predict prognosis accurately. Clinical Trial Registration Our has clinical registration number B.10.1.TKH.4.34.H.GP.0.01/154 University Health Sciences Ümraniye Training Research Hospital.

Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is a life-threatening systemic hyperinflammatory triggered by various infections, particularly viral autoimmune disorders, and malignancy. The condition characterized an increased production of proinflammatory cytokines resulting in cytokine storm has been associated with poor clinical outcomes. During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients severe manifestations developed features similar to those MAS, although these characteristics remained well defined within lung. Additionally, other infections including EBV, herpes family viruses, hepatitis influenza, HIV, hemorrhagic fevers can be complicated MAS. diagnosis management remain challenging due lack consensus on specific guidelines, especially among adult population. Currently, therapeutic options primarily rely medications that are typically used treat primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, such as corticosteroids etoposide. In addition, cytokine-targeted therapies present promising treatment options. objective this review discuss emergence MAS context including, but not limited to, its occurrence COVID-19.

Sepsis is a major medical problem which causes millions of deaths worldwide every year. The host immune response in sepsis characterized by acute inflammation and simultaneous state immunosuppression. In the later stage sepsis, immunosuppression crucial factor that increases susceptibility septic patients to secondary infection mortality. It T cell exhaustion, excessive production anti-inflammatory cytokines, hyperproliferation suppressor cells aberrant expression checkpoint molecules. immunoglobulin mucin domain 3 (Tim-3), an molecule, found on surface various cells, including macrophages, NK NKT cells. There are four different ligands for Tim-3, accumulating evidence indicates Tim-3 its play role regulating dysfunction during sepsis.
