Table 5
Proposed diagnostic criteria of autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA)
Major criteria
Previous exposure to an external stimulus (i.e. vaccine, adjuvant, silicone, nucleic acids, fragments of bacterial cell walls)
One of the following “typical” manifestations:
Myalgia/myositis, muscle weakness
Arthralgia and/or arthritis
Chronic fatigue, non-refreshing sleep or sleep disturbances
Neurological manifestations (especially if associated with demyelination)
Memory loss and cognitive impairment
Fever
Dry mouth
Improvement of symptoms after the removal of the triggering agent
Typical biopsy of the involved organs
Minor criteria
Appearance of autoantibodies or autoantibodies directed against the suspected adjuvant
Other clinical manifestations (i.e. functional somatic syndromes)
Association with specific HLA haplotypes (i.e. HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQB1)
Development of autoimmune diseases
Diagnostic requirements:
Two major criteria
One major criteria + two minor criteria
