Background: Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is one of the major cause of morbidity and mortality in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc). The gold standard to diagnose ILD is using High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) scan. HRCT scan need a lot of cost and not always available, so another diagnosing test is needed as an alternative modality to diagnose ILD. ILD is a restrictive lung disease caused by lung fibrosis which is proved by the decrease of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) in spirometry, and followed by the increase of soluble CD40L (sCD40L) level in plasma. This sCD40L may become a potential biomarker to evaluate lung fibrosis in SSc patients. The aim of this study is to analyze the correlation of sCD40L levels with FVC score in SSc patients with restrictive lung disease.Method:This cross sectional study was enrolled by the SSc patient who has restrictive lung disease based on spirometry test, at Rheumatology outpatient clinic dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital from May 2015 to May 2016. All subject took underwent history, physical examination, spirometry and blood test for sCD40L. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation.Result:There were 38 subjects involved in this study, dominated bywoman (92.1%) with mean age 41(±11) years. Subjects consist of 22(57,9%) with limited SSc, 16(42,1%) with diffuse SSc patients and 33 subjects treated with DMARD. Mean sCD40L serum in this study was 6.690,3(±2.377,3) pg/mL, with no statistical difference between limited and diffuse type (p=0.154). Mean FVC score in this study was 58.2(±10,8). There was no significant correlation between sCD40L serum with FVC (r=0.058; p=0.366). There was weak correlation on DMARD naïve subject between sCD40L serum and FVC (r=0.058; p=0.366) but statistically insignificant. There was no significant correlation between sCD40L serum with mRSS (r=0,066; p=0,346).Conclusion: This study founds no correlation between sCD40L with FVC in SSc at dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital. Keyword : sCD40L, Forced Vital Capacity, Restrictive Lung Disease, Systemic Sclerosis

Background Aim of this research is to assess the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab (TCZ) in combination with methotrexate (MTX) in Indonesian patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have an inadequate response to non-biologic DMARDs.Methods This was a interventional, prospective, single arm, multicenter, study in Indonesian male or female patients aged ≥ 18 years old, with a diagnosis of RA for > 6 months based on ACR 1987 revised criteria with moderate to severe disease activity (DAS28 score > 3.2) after ≥ 12 weeks of non-biologic DMARDs treatment. The treatment consisted of tocilizumab, 8 mg/kg, intravenous (IV), every 4 weeks for a total of 6 infusion in combination with oral MTX (10−25 mg) every week. Efficacy was assessed based on the percentage of patients achieving low disease activity state (DAS28 < 3.2), percentage of patients achieving reduction > 1.2 point of DAS28, percentage of patients achieving remission (DAS28 < 2.6), and percentage of patients with ACR20, ACR50, and ACR70 responses. Descriptive statistics will be used for presentation of results.Results 100% patients reached low disease activity (DAS28 ≤ 3.2) at last study visit (week 24) and clinically significant improvement (reduction at least 1.2 units) at every visit in DAS28, both for ITT or PP patients. Remission (DAS28 < 2.6) was observed in 82.1% (ITT patients) and 93.1 % (PP patients) on last study visit. ACR20, ACR50, and ACR70 were achieved in 20%, 34%, and 34% (ITT patients), and 7%, 24%, and 62% (PP patients) on week 24. There were 3 out of 39 patients (7.69%) with adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events (SAE) that resulted in discontinuation of TCZ treatment, consisting of 1 patient with SAE of sepsis ec acquired community pneumonia, 1 patient with SAE of pneumonia tuberculosis, and 1 patient with AE of candidiasis. Most common adverse events were hepatic dysfunction (30.7%), hypercholesterolemia (23.1%), followed by arthralgia (20.5%) Twelve percent of patients needed dose modification due to elevated liver enzyme (elevated ALT/SGPT level).Conclusion Tocilizumab seems to be efficacious and likely to have good safety profile in non- biologic DMARD nonresponsive RA patients of PICTURE INA study.

Background Rheumatoid arhtirtis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that mainly attacks joints. It may causes joint deformities which leads to lower quality of life of RA patients. RA is treated with metothrexate (MTX) which inhibiting disease progression. MTX is known for its hepatotoxicity side effect, which is described by an elevation of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and/or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) beyond the upper normal limit. Factors that may enhance hepatotoxicity are gender, age, cummulative dose of MTX, and duration therapy of MTX. Prevalence of hepatotoxicity caused by MTX therapy in RA patients in Indonesia is still unknown. The objective of this research is to know the proportion of hepatotoxicity and its associations with the factors that may enhance hepatotoxicity caused by MTX therapy in RA patients in RSCM.Method Data about gender, age, cummulative dose and duration therapy of MTX are obtained from 115 RA patients' medical records.Result Proportion of hepatotoxicity in RA patients treated with MTX in RSCM is 42.60%. Gender, age, cummulative dose and duration therapy of MTX do not significantly enhance hepatotoxicity (p>0.05).Conclusion In conclusion gender, age, cummulative dose and duration therapy of MTX do not have association with hepatotoxicity in RA patients treated with MTX. Keywords: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Methotrexate, Hepatotoxicity

Salmonella as a causative agent in septic bursitis is considered rare. We report a case of 56 years old male with history of renal transplantation and using mycophenolate mofetil, cyclosporine and methylprednisolone as maintenance, admitted due to 3-week-fever associated with tenderness and swelling on left shoulder. Upon investigation, a diagnosis of septic bursitis was established. Salmonella enteritidis as the definitive causative agent was revealed. He was treated with meropenem 1g IV three times daily and levofloxacin 500 mg IV once a day for 3 weeks, followed by oral ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice a day for 2 weeks and oral metronidazole 500 mg three times a day for 1 week with a total duration of 5 weeks of antibiotics. On the subsequent follow up there was no recurrence episode of fever and the swelling of the left shoulder subsided, no tenderness noted and the patient has no limitation of range of movement. Since immunocompromised state complicates the management, the duration of therapy may twice longer than the typical management of septic bursitis. Salmonella as etiologic agent should be considered as differential in immunocompromised patient with septic bursitis.Keywords: Immunocompromised state, septic bursitis, deep bursae, Salmonella, duration of therapy.
