Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, ‘Diagnosis, Pathogenesis and Treatment of TAFRO syndrome’, will mainly focus on the novel severe hyper-inflammatory disorder, called TAFRO syndrome, which was first reported in Japan in 2010. Because lymph node histology is similar in patients with TAFRO syndrome and Castleman disease, TAFRO syndrome is described as a related disorder of Castleman disease; however, the two conditions are markedly different clinically. Cases with hyper-inflammation syndrome, such as TAFRO syndrome, require intensive therapeutic strategy. Further understanding of TAFRO syndrome requires the identification of novel disease-specific biomarkers.
For this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit original research and review articles that focus on the diagnosis, pathogenesis and therapeutic potential of TAFRO syndrome. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Clinical and Pathological diagnosis;
- Relationship and differentiation with iMCD, IPL, POEMS syndrome, malignancies, infections and collagen-vascular disorders;
- Cytokine, chemokine and other factors;
- Therapeutic trials and experiences.
