Introduction and objective

One-third of the world's population has latent tuberculosis. Because it can be reactivated by immunosuppressive treatments, screening is suggested. In Colombia, the tuberculin test with the booster is recommended in this population because of the risk of false negative results and anergy caused by treatments. Currently, the number of patients detected with this second test is unknown, so the primary objective is to determine the percentage of additional positive detections.

Materials and methods

From 2017 to 2022, a cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted on a group of patients from a rheumatology service who had a tuberculin test and a booster within a year to check for latent tuberculosis. Over the course of a year and three weeks, we looked at the number of patients whose booster tests showed new findings. A study was conducted to see if there were any differences in treatment based on the first tuberculin result.

Results

A tuberculin test was performed on 674 subjects, of whom 496 were immunosuppressed. From the 382 whose test was negative, 191 and 74 booster tests were performed within a year and three weeks; 8 (4.1%) and 3 (3.6%) were positive, respectively. When evaluating the differences in treatments between the groups with a positive and negative first tuberculin test, significant differences were found. Use of prednisolone at 5 mg or more per day (p = .02) and three immunosuppressants (p = .005) was more frequent in negative tuberculin tests.

Conclusions

It can be said that the booster test raises the number of people with latent tuberculosis by 4%. More use of prednisolone at 5 mg/day or three immunosuppressants in the group with the negative tuberculin test was found to be statistically significant.

Erdheim Chester disease (ECD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. It is characterized by the infiltration of various organs and tissues by foamy histiocytes with a heterogeneous clinical course that varies from mild forms to disseminated forms with progressive and lethal behaviour. The case of a patient who presented with a cerebellar syndrome associated with autoimmune pathology is presented. In the course of the disease, refractoriness to glucocorticoids and clinical manifestation with bone involvement in the form of symmetrical osteosclerosis of long bones were determining factors for suspicion of this entity. We reviewed scientific articles through the PubMed metasearch engine with the keywords «erdheim chester disease», «erdheim chester and nervous system», and «autoimmunity and erdheim chester disease», selecting those with greater emphasis on clinical presentation with neurological involvement and associated autoimmune pathology. Advances in the pathogenesis of ECD have allowed us to understand the nature of the disease, as well as the use of targeted therapies. It is interesting to keep this entity in mind, as well as the pathologies with which it is frequently associated, with the objective of an early diagnosis and a better clinical approach.

Introduction

The inflammatory process of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is associated comorbidities. The JIA patients can fall behind their healthy peers, and motor and functional skills can reduce.

Objectives

The primary aim is to compare the motor skills of JIA patients with healthy controls. The secondary aim is to determine whether disease activity affects patients with JIA.

Materials and methods

Fifteen patients with JIA and 15 healthy controls were included in the study. Motor skills were evaluated with Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency Second Edition Short Form (BOT-2 SF) in patients with JIA and healthy controls. BOT-2 SF measures four motor area composites with eight subtests. Disease activity was evaluated with Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score-27 (JADAS-27), disability level with Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (CHAQ-DI), and disease-related quality of life with Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 3.0 Arthritis Module for JIA. According to disease activity, patients with JIA were divided into two groups as remission and active.

Results

The patients with JIA had significantly lower scores in the total and four motor area of BOT-2 SF compared to healthy controls (p < .05). When the remission and active groups were compared, there was no difference in the total and four motor area of BOT-2 SF, CHAQ-DI, or PedsQL (p > .05).

Conclusion

The motor skills of patients with JIA are lower than their healthy peers, and their motor skills, quality of life, and disability did not make a difference between the remission and active period.

Introduction

Lupus nephropathy (LN) is a chronic inflammatory process, characterized by the activation of T cells and high levels of various cytokines, such as MCP-1 at the level of the renal glomerulus and the interstitial tubule. MCP-1 is a chemoattractant of monocytes and lymphocytes, it is responsible for the infiltration of leukocytes in the kidney, which is why MCP-1 levels in urine of patients with LN correlate with the active form of the disease.

Objective

The present study aims to evaluate the expression levels of MCP-1 in patients with LN and to correlate their urinary levels with serum autoimmunity markers.

Material and methods

Our study is of the case-control type, where the groups were made up of 112 patients diagnosed with SLE or LN, and 28 apparently healthy people with no clinical or family history of autoimmune diseases, respectively. MCP-1 expression levels were estimated using qRT-PCR. In addition, clinical parameters and serum levels were evaluated (anti-ds-DNA, anti-nucleosome, anti-C1q antibodies, β2-microglobulin levels, and C3 and C4 complement fraction). Finally, clinical, and molecular data were correlated.

Results

Our study included 39 patients with active SLE (median 36 years), 32 with active LN (median 32.5 years), 28 with inactive SLE (median 41.5 years), 13 with inactive LN (median 38 years), and 28 control patients (median 28.5 years). The comparison of MCP-1 expression levels between patients with active LN and active SLE did not show statistically significant values (P > .05). Likewise, a statistically significant correlation was observed between the expression levels of MCP-1 with the levels of anti-C1q (r = .255; P < .025); however, no correlation was found with the other markers.

Conclusion

The use of MCP-1 expression levels in the Bolivian population would not be a useful biomarker to evaluate lupus nephropathy. However, the anti-C1q biomarker is suggested as a serological marker for monitoring the disease.

Introduction

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a musculoskeletal disease presenting with phenotypic clinical manifestations, integrating a set of interrelated inflammatory conditions, which share immunogenetic, epidemiological, and therapeutic characteristics.

Objective

to do a reflection exercise through the experience of designing and implementing a clinical care center for spondyloarthropathies, from the administrative and clinical perspective to the implications in decision making and impact on the different indicators related to efficiencies and safety of the services included in the model.

Results

In clinical practice, the reality of the care process in patients diagnosed with SpA represents an area of opportunity in multiple aspects. The fragmentation of clinical care and the heterogeneous flow of the patient in the care pathway, are associated with suboptimal and undesired clinical outcomes. Several aspects highlight the reality of patients with SpA in the national scenario, which -to a certain extent- could reflect what is observed in other Latin American countries. SpA represents a very significant burden for society and for individuals affected by this condition. Comprehensive assessment of the burden of disease from the perspective of the clinician and the patient is important, in order to support decisions related to treatment and comprehensive management of this condition. The improvement in health outcomes and the reduction in the cost of chronic inflammatory diseases, such as SpA, are the main advantages of implementing a care model in specialized centres integrating a multidisciplinary team.

Conclusion

This is an opportunity to include the perspective of individuals affected by this condition, seeking integration between an informed patient and a highly qualified multidisciplinary care team in the comprehensive management of patients with SpA.
导言软骨关节炎(Spondyloarthritis,SpA)是一种具有表型临床表现的肌肉骨骼疾病,它综合了一系列相互关联的炎症,具有共同的免疫遗传学、流行病学和治疗学特征。目标通过设计和实施脊柱关节病临床护理中心的经验进行反思,从行政和临床角度分析决策的影响,以及对该模式所含服务的效率和安全性相关不同指标的影响。临床护理的分散性和患者在护理路径中的异质性流动与不理想和不期望的临床结果有关。有几个方面凸显了国内 SpA 患者的实际情况,这在一定程度上反映了其他拉美国家的情况。SpA给社会和患者带来了沉重的负担。从临床医生和患者的角度对疾病负担进行全面评估非常重要,有助于做出治疗和综合管理该疾病的相关决定。结论:这是一个将受该疾病影响的个人视角纳入其中的机会,在对 SpA 患者的综合管理中,寻求知情患者与高素质的多学科护理团队之间的整合。

Introduction

Fatigue is a frequent symptom in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The Functional Assessment of Chronic illnesses Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) is an instrument that assesses self-reported fatigue and was validated for measuring fatigue in RA.

Objective

The aim of this study was to validate the FACIT-F for use in Spanish-speaking RA patients.

Materials and methods

Cross-sectional, multicentre study. We included patients (n = 192) with RA diagnosis from two hospitals. Exploratory and confirmatory analyses were conducted. Construct validity and internal consistency were evaluated.

Results

FACIT-F showed high internal consistency (alpha = .87, omega = .93). Analysis of the main components showed a single factor, which explained 62% of the variance. The confirmatory factor analysis showed a satisfactory fit of the model. We found a correlation between FACIT–F, VAS fatigue (-.72 P < .001), and BRAF-MDQ (-.81 P < .001).

Conclusion

FACIT-F is a valid instrument with a high internal consistency for measuring fatigue in clinical practice and research in Spanish-speaking patients with RA.
导言疲劳是类风湿性关节炎(RA)患者经常出现的症状。慢性疾病治疗功能评估--疲劳(FACIT-F)是一种评估自我报告疲劳的工具,已被验证可用于测量 RA 患者的疲劳。我们纳入了两家医院的 RA 患者(n = 192)。进行了探索性和确认性分析。结果FACIT-F显示出较高的内部一致性(α=.87,ω=.93)。主成分分析表明只有一个因子,解释了 62% 的方差。确认性因子分析显示模型的拟合度令人满意。我们发现 FACIT-F、VAS 疲劳度(-.72 P <.001)和 BRAF-MDQ (-.81 P <.001)之间存在相关性。

Introduction

The kidney is one of the organs frequently affected in systemic lupus erythematosus (40-60%); the manifestations are variable, from a silent pattern to the irreversible impairment of renal function.

Objetives

  • To characterize patients under 18 years of age with a diagnosis of lupus nephritis treated at the Pablo Tobón Uribe Hospital and San Vicente Fundación Hospital during the years 2006 to 2017.
  • Establish the frequency of lupus nephritis in patients diagnosed with childhood systemic lupus erythematosus.
  • Describe the general, sociodemographic, clinical and paraclinical characteristics, as well as histopathological characteristics, immunosuppressive treatment and complications such as chronic kidney disease, high blood pressure, need for renal replacement therapy and death in patients diagnosed with lupus nephritis.
  • Explore the association between lupus nephritis with a histological pattern defined as moderate or severe and chronic kidney disease, arterial hypertension, need for renal replacement therapy and death.

Materials and methods

Descriptive study with retrospective information in a group of patients under 18 years of age with a diagnosis of lupus nephritis, attended in two referral centres of the city of Medellin between 2008 and 2017. Clinical records of patients who met the inclusion criteria were reviewed.

Results

The median age was 13 years, with predominance in females. The majority had renal involvement at the time of diagnosis of lupus. Histological class IV was the most frequent (48%). Age under 10 years, absence of response to induction therapy, and histological class IV, were related to the development of chronic kidney disease (> 60 ml/min/1.73 m2).

Conclusions

Renal involvement was higher in this study. Age, class IV, and non-response to induction were associated with impaired renal function.

Growing up with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: Social issues 在幼年特发性关节炎中成长:社会问题
Q3 Health Professions Pub Date : 2024-10-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.rcreu.2023.08.006

Introduction

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is a chronic inflammatory condition interfering with daily activities, social integration, and school attendance in children because of pain and joint inflammation during disease flares. Online resources might help children with JIA improve their social interactions and enhance their knowledge about their disease and the available therapeutic strategies.

Objective

This study aims to reveal the social issues encountered by teenagers prone to JIA and determine their perception of the impact of social media on their daily life.

Material and methods

We conducted this study using inductive qualitative methods to describe the sociocultural perception and experience of adolescents with JIA aged between 8 and 16 years.

Results

Individual interviews were held with 22 adolescents diagnosed with JIA. Fifty-two percent felt like outcasts and rejected by their peers because of their illness. Most of the participants expressed a need for their friends to be informed about their JIA diagnosis. Twenty-two-point-seven percent stated that they played sports for more than 5 h a week. A total of 31.8% found their physical performance was not affected by their disease. Ninety-seven of the participants confirmed that they use social media on average 3 h a day. YouTube and Facebook were ranked respectively as the first and the second preferred platforms. Seventeen percent of the children viewed these platforms as positive and helpful in dealing with JIA, especially by taking their minds off the pain, dealing with the stress resulting from the lack of mobility, and facilitating interactions with others.

Conclusion

Social integration in children with JIA is still challenging. Social media is helpful in managing JIA and improving social interactions, and in gaining useful information.
导言青少年特发性关节炎是一种慢性炎症,由于疾病发作时的疼痛和关节炎症,会影响儿童的日常活动、社会融入和入学。本研究旨在揭示易患 JIA 的青少年所遇到的社会问题,并确定他们对社交媒体对其日常生活的影响的看法。材料和方法我们采用归纳定性方法进行了这项研究,以描述 8 至 16 岁 JIA 青少年的社会文化观念和经历。52%的受访者感觉自己是被遗弃者,因为自己的疾病而被同龄人排斥。大多数参与者表示需要让他们的朋友了解他们的JIA诊断。22.7%的人表示他们每周运动时间超过 5 小时。31.8%的人认为他们的运动表现没有受到疾病的影响。97%的参与者确认他们平均每天使用社交媒体 3 小时。YouTube 和 Facebook 分别被列为首选平台的第一位和第二位。17%的儿童认为这些平台对他们应对 JIA 有积极的帮助,尤其是可以让他们忘却疼痛、应对因行动不便而产生的压力以及促进与他人的交流。社交媒体有助于管理 JIA、改善社交互动和获取有用信息。

Hallazgos clínicos, de laboratorio y evolución en pacientes con síndrome autoinmune/autoinflamatorio inducido por adyuvantes (ASIA) 佐剂诱发自身免疫/自体发炎综合征(AIAIS)患者的临床和实验室检查结果及预后
Q3 Health Professions Pub Date : 2024-10-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.rcreu.2023.09.008

Introduction and objective

Autoimmune/autoinflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA) suggests that contact with different adjuvants such as silicones or aluminium used as excipient in some vaccines can cause the appearance of different symptomatology.

Materials and methods

A retrospective analysis of the clinical manifestations, laboratory parameters, treatment, and evolution of a case series of 13 patients with ASIA syndrome related to silicone implants and vaccines was performed.

Results

In 10 (77%) of the patients there was a history of silicone implants, in the rest of the patients there was a history of vaccination. The most frequent symptom in patients with silicone prostheses was Raynaud's phenomenon (72%), while in patients with a history of vaccination, arthralgias and myalgias were the most frequent symptoms. One patient met the criteria for primary Sjögren's syndrome while another patient had limited systemic sclerosis and associated Sjögren's syndrome. Most of the patients had elevated acute phase reactants (61%), while in the group of patients with a history of silicone prosthesis 60% presented positivity for antinuclear antibodies.

Conclusion

Raynaud's phenomenon and skeletal muscle symptoms were the most common manifestations in patients with breast prosthesis and vaccination history, respectively.
简介和目的 佐剂诱发的自身免疫/自身炎症综合征(ASIA)表明,接触不同的佐剂(如硅酮或某些疫苗中用作赋形剂的铝)会导致出现不同的症状。材料和方法 对 13 例与硅胶植入物和疫苗有关的 ASIA 综合征患者的临床表现、实验室指标、治疗和演变进行了回顾性分析。结果 10 例(77%)患者有硅胶植入史,其余患者有疫苗接种史。硅胶假体患者最常见的症状是雷诺现象(72%),而有疫苗接种史的患者最常见的症状是关节痛和肌痛。一名患者符合原发性斯约格伦综合征的标准,另一名患者则患有局限性系统性硬化症和相关的斯约格伦综合征。结论雷诺现象和骨骼肌症状分别是有乳房假体和疫苗接种史的患者最常见的表现。
