HCQ blood levels within the therapeutic range (750-1200 ng/ml) were associated with 66% lower acute care utilization—and 90-95% fewer acute care visits, even in groups at higher acute care risk due to social barriers Supports the use of HCQ blood level monitoring in lupus and could potentially improve outcomes. Future clinical trials are needed to confirm causal links

Cheers to UW Miram Shelef & team who identified novel linear IgG epitopes bound by RFs in COVID-19, not RA (J of A-Immunity doi.org/10.1016/j.jaut.2023.…). The COVID-19 RF was polyreactive, bound two IgG & multiple viral peptides with a tripeptide motif, & IgG Fc & COVID spike protein.
