Background: Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate efficacy and safety of interferon (IFN) α-2a combined with phototherapy for early-stage MF.Methods: Thirteen patients with early-stage MF received subcutaneous injections of IFN α-2a at 3 million IU combined with phototherapy three times per week for 6 months. Treatment efficacy was measured by changes in body surface area (BSA) score and modified severity-weighted assessment tool (mSWAT) score at 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment. Histopathologic examinations of skin lesions were performed before and after treatment.Results: After 3 months of treatment, all 13 patients achieved a partial response, and BSA and mSWAT scores were significantly lower than those at baseline (p < 0.001). After 6 months, BSA and mSWAT scores were significantly lower than those at baseline (p < 0.001) and after 3 months (p < 0.05). Eleven patients achieved complete remission and two patients achieved a partial response (overall response rate, 100%). Histopathologic examination showed a significant decrease in the number of atypical lymphocytes in both epidermis and dermis. No severe adverse effects occurred.Conclusion: IFN α-2a in combination with phototherapy may be an effective and safe alternative modality for early-stage MF.

PegIFN alpha-2a reduces relapse in HBeAg-negative patients after nucleo(s)tide analogue cessation: A randomized-controlled trial
Article

BACKGROUND & AIMS:
Nucleo(s)tide analogue (NUC) cessation can lead to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) clearance but also a high rate of virological relapse. However, the effect of pegylated interferon alpha-2a (PegIFN-α-2a) on virological relapse after NUC cessation is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of switching from NUC to PegIFN-α-2a treatment for 48 weeks on virological relapse up to week 96.
METHODS:
In this multicenter randomized-controlled clinical trial, 180 non-cirrhotic patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B on continuous NUC therapy for ≥2.5 years, with HBV DNA levels <60 IU/ml, were randomized to discontinue NUC therapy (n = 90) or receive 48 weeks of PegIFN-α-2a treatment (n = 90). Patients were followed up for up to 96 weeks. The primary endpoint was the virological relapse rate up to week 96.
RESULTS:
Intention-to-treat analysis revealed patients in the interferon monotherapy group had significantly lower cumulative virological relapse rates than the NUC cessation group until week 96 (20.8% vs. 53.6%, p <0.0001). Consistently, a significantly lower proportion of patients in the interferon monotherapy group had virological relapse than those in the NUC cessation group at 48 weeks off treatment (17.8% vs. 36.7%, p = 0.007). The virological relapse rate positively correlated with HBsAg levels in the NUC cessation group. The interferon monotherapy group had a lower cumulative clinical relapse rate (7.8% vs. 20.9%, p = 0.008) and a higher HBsAg loss rate (21.5% vs. 9.0%, p = 0.03) than the NUC cessation group.
CONCLUSIONS:
Switching from NUC to PegIFN-α-2a treatment for 48 weeks significantly reduces virological relapse rates and leads to higher HBsAg loss rates than NUC treatment cessation alone in patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B.
IMPACT AND IMPLICATIONS:
Nucleo(s)tide analogue (NUC) cessation can lead to HBsAg clearance but also a high rate of virological relapse, but an optimized scheme to reduce the virological relapse rate after NUC withdrawal is yet to be reported. This randomized-controlled trial investigated the effect of switching from NUC to PegIFN-α-2a treatment for 48 weeks on virological relapse up to week 96 in patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B. The interferon monotherapy group had a significantly lower cumulative virological relapse rate (20.8% vs. 53.6%, p <0.0001) and higher HBsAg loss rate (21.5% vs. 9.0%, p = 0.03) than the NUC cessation group up to week 96. This provides an optimized strategy for NUC cessation in HBeAg-negative patients.

Cerebro-Ocular Toxocariasis Revealed by Bilateral Cystoid Macular Edema
Article
Author: Tadayoni, Ramin ; Hié, Miguel ; Touhami, Sara ; Paris, Arianna ; Bodaghi, Bahram
DESIGN:
Case Report Case description: This report describes the case of a female patient diagnosed with oculo-cerebral toxocariasis manifesting initially in the form of isolated bilateral cystoid macular edema. Diagnosis was made by means of positive anterior chamber and lumbar puncture western blots. The unusual presentation, ancillary findings and treatment are discussed. The control of intraocular inflammation that was only partially responsive to steroids was eventually achieved with pegylated interferon alfa-2a.
CONCLUSION:
Isolated macular edema is a rare presentation of ocular toxocariasis. Interferon alfa-2a may prove useful in case of insufficient control of inflammation.
