RESUMO Introdução: Esclerose múltipla (EM) e neuromielite óptica (NMO) são doenças desmielinizantes do sistema nervoso central. A autoimunidade entre pacientes com doenças desmielinizantes e seus parentes tem sido amplamente investigada e discutida. Estudos recentes demonstram maior incidência de doenças reumáticas autoimunes entre pacientes adultos com EM e NMO e seus parentes, mas não há estudos na população pediátrica. Objetivo: Avaliar a associação de EM e NMO com doenças reumáticas autoimunes em pacientes pediátricos. Método: Foram incluídos 22 pacientes menores de 21 anos com diagnóstico de EM ou NMO antes dos 18 anos e avaliados dados epidemiológicos, clínicos, associação com doenças autoimunes, história familiar de doenças autoimunes, exames laboratoriais, exames de imagem e presença de autoanticorpos. Resultados: Entre os pacientes estudados, houve prevalência do sexo feminino (68,1%). A média de idade de início dos sintomas foi de oito anos e nove meses e a média de idade dos pacientes na avaliação foi 16 anos e quatro meses. Dois pacientes (9%) apresentaram doença reumática autoimune associada, um caso de dermatomiosite juvenil em paciente com NMO e outro de lúpus eritematoso sistêmico juvenil em paciente com EM. Três pacientes (13%) apresentaram história familiar de autoimunidade em parentes de primeiro grau. Anticorpo antinuclear (ANA) positivo foi encontrado em 80% dos pacientes com NMO e em 52% dos pacientes com EM. Cerca de 15% dos pacientes com ANA positivo apresentaram diagnóstico definitivo de doença autoimune reumática associada. Conclusão: Entre os pacientes com doenças desmielinizantes diagnosticadas durante a infância incluídos nesta pesquisa houve uma alta frequência de ANA positivo, mas uma menor taxa de associação com doenças reumáticas autoimunes do que a encontrada em trabalhos conduzidos em adultos.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica (NMO) are demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system. Autoimmunity in patients with demyelinating disease and in their families has been broadly investigated and discussed. Recent studies show a higher incidence of rheumatic autoimmune diseases among adult patients with MS or NMO and their families, but there are no studies in the pediatric population. Objective: To evaluate an association of MS and NMO with autoimmune rheumatic diseases in pediatric patients. Method: 22 patients younger than 21 years old with MS or NMO diagnosed before the age of 18 years were evaluated regarding epidemiological data, clinical presentation, association with autoimmune diseases, family history of autoimmune diseases, laboratory findings, imaging studies and presence of auto-antibodies. Results: Among the patients studied, there was a prevalence of females (68.1%). The mean age of symptoms onset was 8 years and 9 months and the mean current age was 16 years and 4 months. Two patients (9%) had a history of associated autoimmune rheumatic disease: one case of juvenile dermatomyositis in a patient with NMO and another of systemic lupus erythematosus in a patient with MS. Three patients (13%) had a family history of autoimmunity in first-degree relatives. Antinuclear antibody was found positive in 80% of patients with NMO and 52% of patients with MS. About 15% of antinuclear antibody-positive patients were diagnosed with rheumatologic autoimmune diseases. Conclusion: Among patients with demyelinating diseases diagnosed in childhood included in this study there was a high frequency of antinuclear antibody positivity but a lower association with rheumatologic autoimmune diseases than that observed in studies conducted in adults.

INTRODUÇÃO: A reumatologia pediátrica (RP) é uma especialidade emergente, com número restrito de especialistas, e ainda não conta com uma casuística brasileira sobre o perfil dos pacientes atendidos e as informações sobre a formação de profissionais capacitados. OBJETIVO: Estudar o perfil dos especialistas e dos serviços em RP e as características dos pacientes com doenças reumáticas nessa faixa etária a fim de estimar a situação atual no estado de São Paulo (ESP). PACIENTES E MÉTODOS: No ano de 2010 o departamento científico de RP da Sociedade de Pediatria de São Paulo encaminhou um questionário respondido por 24/31 especialistas com título de especialização em RP que atuam no ESP e por 8/12 instituições com atendimento nesta especialidade. RESULTADOS: A maioria (91%) dos profissionais exerce suas atividades em instituições públicas. Clínicas privadas (28,6%) e instituições (37,5%) relataram não ter acesso ao exame de capilaroscopia e 50% das clínicas privadas não tem acesso à acupuntura. A média de tempo de prática profissional na especialidade foi de 9,4 anos, sendo 67% deles pós-graduados. Sete (87,5%) instituições públicas atuam na área de ensino, formando novos reumatologistas pediátricos. Cinco (62,5%) delas têm pós-graduação. Dois terços dos especialistas utilizam imunossupressores e agentes biológicos de uso restrito pela Secretaria da Saúde. A doença mais atendida foi artrite idiopática juvenil (29,1%-34,5%), seguida de lúpus eritematoso sistêmico juvenil (LESJ) (11,6%-12,3%) e febre reumática (9,1%-15,9%). Vasculites (púrpura de Henoch Schönlein, Wegener, Takayasu) e síndromes autoinflamatórias foram mais incidentes nas instituições públicas (P = 0,03; P = 0,04; P = 0,002 e P < 0,0001, respectivamente). O LESJ foi a doença com maior mortalidade (68% dos óbitos), principalmente por infecção. CONCLUSÃO: A RP no ESP conta com um número expressivo de especialistas pós-graduados, que atuam especialmente em instituições de ensino, com infraestrutura adequada ao atendimento de pacientes de alta complexidade.

INTRODUCTION: Paediatric rheumatology (PR) is an emerging specialty, practised by a limited number of specialists. Currently, there is neither a record of the profile of rheumatology patients being treated in Brazil nor data on the training of qualified rheumatology professionals in the country. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the profile of PR specialists and services, as well as the characteristics of paediatric patients with rheumatic diseases, for estimating the current state of rheumatology in the state of São Paulo. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In 2010, the scientific department of PR of the Paediatric Society of São Paulo administered a questionnaire that was answered by 24/31 accredited specialists in PR practising in state of São Paulo and by 8/21 institutions that provide PR care. RESULTS: Most (91%) of the surveyed professionals practise in public institutions. Private clinics (28.6%) and public institutions (37.5%) reported not having access to nailfold capillaroscopy, and 50% of the private clinics reported not having access to acupuncture. The average duration of professional practise in PR was 9.4 years, and 67% of the physicians had attended postgraduate programmes. Seven (87.5%) public institutions perform teaching activities, in which new paediatric rheumatologists are trained, and five (62.5%) offer postgraduate programmes. Two-thirds of the surveyed specialists use immunosuppressants and biological agents classified as "restricted use" by the Health Secretariat. The disease most frequently reported was juvenile idiopathic arthritis (29.1-34.5%), followed by juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) (11.6-12.3%) and rheumatic fever (9.1-15.9%). The incidence of vasculitis (including Henoch-Schönlein purpura, Wegener's granulomatosis, and Takayasu's arteritis) and autoinflammatory syndromes was higher in public institutions compared to other institutions (P = 0.03, P = 0.04, P = 0.002, and P < 0.0001, respectively). Patients with JSLE had the highest mortality rate (68% of deaths), mainly due to infection. CONCLUSION: The field of PR in the state of São Paulo has a significant number of specialists with postgraduate degrees who mostly practise at teaching institutions with infrastructures appropriate for the care of high-complexity patients.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

Our objective was to evaluate the concentrations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], serum calcium, serum phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, and parathormone (PTH) in patients with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and to associate them with disease duration and activity, bone mineral density and use of medications. In a cross-sectional and controlled study, 30 patients with polyarticular JIA were evaluated and compared to 30 healthy individuals matched for age and gender. Clinical status, anthropometry, laboratory markers in both patients and controls, and bone mineral density, only in the patients, were measured. Of the 30 patients included in the study, 23 (76.7%) were female and 16 (53.3%) non-Caucasian; mean age was 14 years (range = 4 to 20 years). Mean disease duration was 5 years (range = 1 to 12 years). The mean concentrations of serum albumin-corrected calcium (9.04 ± 0.41 mg/dL) and alkaline phosphatase (153.3 ± 100.1 IU) were significantly lower in patients with JIA than in controls (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.001, respectively). No differences in 25(OH)D, PTH or serum phosphorus were observed between JIA and control subjects. Regarding 25(OH)D concentration, 8 patients (26.7%) and 5 controls (16.7%) had 25(OH)D concentrations compatible with deficiency (lower than 20 ng/mL) and 14 patients (46.7%) and 18 controls (60%) had concentrations compatible with insufficiency (20-32 ng/mL). These values were not associated with disease activity, use of medications or bone mineral density. We observed a high frequency of 25(OH)D insufficiency and deficiency in the study sample. The compromised bone metabolism emphasizes the importance of follow-up of JIA patients.

Crianças e adolescentes com doenças reumatológicas apresentam maior prevalência de doenças infecciosas quando comparados com a população em geral, em decorrência de atividade da doença, possível deficiência imunológica secundária à própria doença, ou uso de terapia imunossupressora. A vacinação é uma medida eficaz para a redução da morbidade e mortalidade nesses pacientes. O objetivo deste artigo foi realizar um consenso de eficácia e segurança das vacinas em crianças e adolescentes com doenças reumatológicas infantis baseadas em níveis de evidência científica. Imunização passiva para os pacientes e orientações para as pessoas que convivem com doentes imunodeprimidos também foram incluídas. Os 32 pediatras reumatologistas membros do Departamento de Reumatologia da Sociedade de Pediatria de São Paulo (SPSP) e/ou da Comissão de Reumatologia Pediátrica da Sociedade Brasileira de Reumatologia elaboraram o consenso, sendo que alguns desses profissionais estão envolvidos em pesquisas e publicações científicas nesta área. A pesquisa dos termos eficácia e/ou segurança das diferentes vacinas em crianças e adolescentes com doenças reumatológicas foi realizada nas bases de Medline e Scielo, de 1966 até março de 2009, incluindo revisões, estudos controlados e relatos de casos. O grau de recomendação e o nível científico de evidências dos estudos foram classificados em quatro níveis para cada vacina. De um modo geral, as vacinas inativadas e de componentes são seguras nos pacientes com doenças reumatológicas, mesmo em uso de terapias imunossupressoras. Entretanto, vacinas com agentes vivos atenuados são, em geral, contraindicadas para os pacientes imunossuprimidos.

Incidence of infectious diseases is higher in children and adolescents with rheumatic diseases than in the general population due to disease activity, possible immune deficiency secondary to the disease itself, or the use of immunosuppressive drugs. Vaccination is effective in reducing morbidity and mortality in those patients. The objective of this study was to establish an evidence-based consensus on the efficacy and safety of vaccination in children and adolescents with rheumatic diseases. Passive immunization of patients and guidelines for people who live with immunosuppressed patients were also included. The 32 pediatric rheumatologists of the Rheumatology Department of the Pediatrics Society of São Paulo, (SPSP, from the Portuguese), São Paulo, SP, Brazil, and/or the Commission on Pediatrics Rheumatology of the Brazilian Society of Rheumatology are responsible for this consensus; some of those professionals are involved on research and scientific publications in this field. The words efficacy and/or safety of different vaccines in children and adolescents with rheumatologic diseases were searched in Medline and Scielo data bases from 1966 to March 2009, including reviews, controlled studies, and case reports. The degree of recommendation and the scientific evidence of the studies were classified in four levels for each vaccine. As a rule, inactive and protein components vaccines are safe for patients with rheumatologic diseases, even in the presence of immunosuppressive therapy. However, live attenuated vaccines are, in general, contraindicated for immunosuppressed patients.

A síndrome DRESS (drug rash with eosinophilia andsystemic symptoms - erupção à droga com eosinofilia e sintomas sistêmicos) é uma reação adversa a medicamentos com características sistêmicas, que inclui, principalmente, erupção cutânea grave, febre, linfadenopatia, hepatite e anormalidades hematológicas (hipereosinofilia e linfocitose atípica). A taxa de mortalidade é de aproximadamente 10%. É rara na faixa etária pediátrica, com poucos casos descritos. Por causa da raridade desta reação e da dificuldade e importância de seu reconhecimento, relata-se o caso de uma menina de dois anos de idade com DRESS associado a lúpus eritematoso sistêmico juvenil (LESj).

DRESS syndrome (drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms) consists in an adverse reaction to some drugs characterized by systemic features such as severe cutaneous eruption, fever, lymphadenopathy, hepatitis and hematological abnormalities (hypereosinophilia and atypical lymphocytosis). Mortality rate accounts to 10%. The low prevalence in children and small number of published cases, increase the difficulty and importance of a prompt diagnosis of this syndrome in pediatric patients. This is a report of one case of DRESS in association with juvenile systemic lupus erithematosus in a two year old girl.

OBJETIVO: Nas doenças reumáticas, principalmente dermatomiosite e esclerodermia, a capilaroscopia periungueal é importante auxílio no diagnóstico e no seguimento dos pacientes. Em adultos, é descrita a relação entre a melhora das alterações capilaroscópicas e a melhora da atividade da doença. O nosso objetivo foi avaliar 13 pacientes com miopatias inflamatórias e correlacionar atividades clínica e laboratorial com as alterações da capilaroscopia periungueal. MÉTODOS: Foram incluídos 13 pacientes com dermatomiosite juvenil (critérios de Bohan e Peter) (média de idade de 8,8 anos) e cinco pacientes com síndrome de sobreposição (média de idade de 15,7 anos). Foram avaliadas as atividades clínicas (alterações cutâneas típicas e fraqueza muscular) e laboratoriais (aumento de enzimas musculares e provas inflamatórias) da doença e sua relação com as alterações da capilaroscopia periungueal (presença de ectasias capilares, megacapilares e áreas de deleção). Para a realização da capilaroscopia, foi utilizado um microscópio com iluminação especial com aumentos de 10 a 16 vezes. RESULTADOS: Foram avaliados 18 pacientes, sete deles em duas ou mais ocasiões, no total de 26 exames capilaroscópicos (13 realizados na fase ativa da doença e 13 na fase inativa). Dos 13 exames durante a fase ativa, 12 apresentavam padrão esclerodérmico; dos 13 realizados na fase inativa, oito não apresentavam alterações de capilaroscopia ou apresentavam melhora importante dos achados. Portanto, em 20 dos 26 exames houve correlação entre atividades clínica e laboratorial e achados capilaroscópicos (p = 0,01). CONCLUSÕES: Em resumo, a capilaroscopia periungueal é um exame não-invasivo que apresenta boa correlação com a atividade da doença e pode ser utilizada para auxiliar no diagnóstico, no seguimento e, principalmente, nas reagudizações da doença.

OBJECTIVE: Nailfold capillaroscopy is an important tool for the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with rheumatic diseases, in particular dermatomyositis and scleroderma. A relationship has been observed in adults between improved capillaroscopic findings and reduced disease activity. Our aim was to correlate disease activity (clinical and laboratory data) and nailfold capillaroscopy findings in 18 patients with inflammatory myopathies. METHODS: This prospective study included 13 juvenile dermatomyositis patients (Bohan and Peter criteria) (mean age of 8.8 years) and five patients with overlap syndrome (mean age of 15.7 years). We evaluated disease activity (skin abnormalities and muscle weakness, muscle enzymes and acute phase reactants) and its correlation with nailfold capillaroscopy findings (dilatation of isolated loops, dropout of surrounding vessels and giant capillary loops). We used a microscope with special light and magnification of 10 to 16X. RESULTS: Eighteen patients underwent a total of 26 capillaroscopic examinations, seven of them on two or more occasions (13 were performed during the active disease phase and 13 during remission). Twelve of the 13 examinations performed during the active phase exhibited scleroderma pattern and 8 of the 13 examinations performed during remission were normal. Therefore, in 20 of the 26 examinations clinical and laboratory data and nailfold capillaroscopy findings correlated (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Nailfold capillaroscopy is a non-invasive examination that offers satisfactory correlation with disease activity and could be a useful tool for the diagnosis and follow-up of inflammatory myopathies.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

We measured bone mineral density (BMD) in girls with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) considering multiple factors in order to determine if it could be used as a predictor of reduction in bone mass. A cross-sectional study of lumbar spine BMD (L2-L4) was conducted on 10 girls aged 7-16 years with JDM. A group of 20 age-matched healthy girls was used as control. Lumbar spine BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Weight, height and pubertal Tanner stage were determined in all patients and controls. Duration of disease and mean daily and cumulative steroid doses were calculated for all patients on the basis of their medical charts. JDM activity was determined on the basis of the presence of muscle weakness, cutaneous vasculitis and/or elevation of serum concentration of one or more skeletal muscle enzymes. Seven patients demonstrated osteopenia or osteoporosis. Lumbar BMD was significantly lower in the JDM patients than the age-matched healthy control girls (0.712 vs 0.878, respectively; Student t-test, P = 0.041). No significant correlation between BMD and age, height, Tanner stage, disease duration, corticosteroid use, or disease activity was observed in JDM girls, but a correlation was observed between BMD and weight (Pearson's correlation coefficient, r = 0.802). Patients with JDM may be at risk for a significant reduction in BMD that might contribute to further skeletal fragility. Our results suggest that reduced bone mass in JDM may be related to other intrinsic mechanisms in addition to steroid treatment and some aspects of the disease itself may contribute to this condition.

Aim: To determine whether age is a factor affecting the management of patiens diagnosed with neoplastic disease in an internal medicine service. Patients and methods: Prospective study of 388 patients diagnosed with cancer in the internal medicine service of a large public health teaching hospital. We evaluated clinical characteristics, diagnostic procedures, types and stage of neoplasm, referral after hospital discharge and treatment. A comparative study based on age was performed between patients 65 years older and patients under this age. Results: The 388 cancer patiens accounted for 12% of hospital admissions in our service. Among the total, 62% were > or = 65 years old. Constitutional syndrome, the most frequently associated symptom and the main reason for the consultation, was more common in the > or = 65-year-old group. Lung cancer was predominant in men and hematologic neoplasms in women. Patients > or = 65 were referred more frequently to internal medicine physicians, general practitioners and home palliative assistance services (p<0.05) and they received only palliative treatment in a greater percentage of cases (50% vs. 37%, p=0.001). Conclusions: The incidence of neoplasms in our service was high (12%), with a considerable percentage of patients in advanced phases of the disease (83%). Age was not related to diagnostic methods nor was it determinant in the staging, but it did have repercussions on treatment; patients > or = 65 received palliative treatment alone more often than younger patients.

Objetivo: Valorar la relación de la edad con el manejo de los pacientes diagnosticados de neoplasia en un servicio de Medicina Interna. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio prospectivo de 388 pacientes diagnosticados de cáncer en un Servicio de Medicina Interna. Se evalúan las características clínicas, procedimientos diagnósticos, tipos de neoplasia y estadiaje, derivación al alta y tratamiento. Se realiza un estudio comparativo basado en la edad, pacientes de 65 años o mayores frente a los más jóvenes. Resultados: Los 388 pacientes diagnosticados de cáncer supusieron un 12% de los ingresos en nuestro servicio. El 62% tenían > o = 65 años. El síndrome constitucional fue la sintomatología más frecuente asociada y el principal motivo de consulta, siendo más relevante en los > o = 65 años. El cáncer de pulmón fue el más frecuente en los hombres y las neoplasias hematológicas en las mujeres. Los enfermos > o = 65 años fueron controlados con más frecuencia por Medicina Interna, médico de cabecera y Servicio de Asistencia Paliativa a Domicilio (P<0,05) y recibieron tratamiento únicamente paliativo en un mayor porcentaje de casos (50% vs 37%, p=0,001). Conclusiones: La incidencia de neoplasias en nuestro servicio fue alta (12%), con un alto porcentaje de pacientes en fases avanzadas de la enfermedad (83%). La edad no se relacionó con el manejo diagnóstico ni demostró ser determinante en el estadiaje, pero sí en el tratamiento, puesto que los pacientes > o = 65 años recibieron con mayor frecuencia tratamiento paliativo.

MÉTODOS: Foram analisados os prontuários de todos os pacientes com diagnóstico de espondiloartropatia seguidos no ambulatório de reumatologia pediátrica da UNIFESP-EPM no período de junho de 1982 a abril de 2000. Foram avaliados a idade de início e tempo de evolução da doença, manifestações clínicas, dados laboratoriais, achados radiológicos, tratamento e evolução. RESULTADOS: Dos 26 pacientes estudados, 10 (38,4%) apresentavam SEA, um (3,8%) espondiloartropatia indiferenciada (EAI), 10 (38,4%) EAJ, dois (7,7%) artropatia da DIIC, dois (7,7%) síndrome de Reiter e um (3,8%) artrite psoriásica. O início da doença variou de 1 a 15 anos (média de 9,2 anos). Os pacientes com síndrome de Reiter tiveram menor idade de início (média de 6,5 anos). Houve predomínio do sexo masculino (25 pacientes) e da raça caucasóide (15 pacientes). A maioria dos pacientes apresentou artrite periférica em membros inferiores (96,1%), entesite (61,5%) e HLA B27 positivo (14/23 - 60,9%). Dez pacientes (38,4%) apresentaram comprometimento axial. Quinze pacientes receberam diagnóstico de ARJ ou FR no início do quadro. CONCLUSÃO: Embora menos freqüentes do que a ARJ, as espondiloartropatias devem ser consideradas no diagnóstico diferencial das crianças e adolescentes, principalmente do sexo masculino, com artrite crônica.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate retrospectively the clinical features of children and adolescents with spondiloarthropathies (Sps). METHODS: The charts of all Sps patients followed up in the outpatient Pediatric Rheumatology unit of UNIFESP-EPM, were analyzed from June 1982 to April 2000. The following demographic data were evaluated: age of onset, disease duration, clinical features, laboratory data, radiological findings, treatment and outcome. RESULTS: 10 out of 26 patients (38.4%) presented SEA, 1 patient (3.8%) undifferentiated spondiloarthrophaty, 10 (38.4%) JAS, 2 (7.7%) arthropathy related to inflammatory bowel disease, 2 (7.7%) Reiter's syndrome and 1 (3.8%) psoriatic arthritis. The average age at disease onset was 9.2 years (1 to 15 years). The patients with Reiter's syndrome presented lower age at onset (average age 6.5 years). Twenty-five out of 26 were males and 15 out of 26 were caucasians. Most patients presented peripheral arthritis in lower limbs (96.1%), enthesitis (61.5%) and positive HLA-B27 (14/23 -- 60.9%). Ten patients (38.4%) presented axial involvement. Fifteen patients had JRA or RF as diagnosis in the beginning of the disease. CONCLUSION: Although less frequent than JRA, the spondiloarthropathies must be considered in the differential diagnosis of children and adolescents, mainly among male patients with chronic arthritis.
