TL;DR: The study indicates that the T cell system is abnormally activated in patients with FMF in both the attack and attack-free period and that decreased IL‐10 levels may create a tendency to perpetuate subclinical immune activation in the attack‐free period.

Study of Autoimmunity in Klinefelter's Syndrome and Idiopathic Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism
Cagatay Oktenli,Zeki Yesilova,Ismail H. Kocar,Ugur Musabak,Metin Ozata,Ali Inal,Davut Gül,Yavuz S. Sanisoglu +7 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that both humoral and cellular immunity is enhanced in male hypogonadism and it is possible that testosterone deficiency and increased levels of estradiol are primary responsible factors for this enhanced autoantibody production in Klinefelter's syndrome patients.

The predictive value of serum procalcitonin levels in adult patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the serum PCT level was not a reliable indicator in the diagnosis of active PTB because of its low sensitivity, and in most cases it was not capable of overcoming the cut-off level even if statistically meaningful results were obtained.
