conferenceObject Human Papilloma Virus and Chlamydia Trachomatis Infections in Rheumatoid Arthitis Under Anti-TNF Therapy.(2014) WAISBERG, Mariana G.; RIBEIRO, Ana C. M.; CANDIDO, Wellington M.; MEDEIROS, Poliana B.; MATSUZAKI, Cezar N.; BELDI, Mariana C.; TACLA, Maricy; CAIAFFA-FILHO, Helio H.; BONFA, Eloisa; SILVA, Clovis A.- Human papillomavirus and chlamydia trachomatis infections in rheumatoid arthritis under anti-TNF therapy: an observational study(2015) WAISBERG, Mariana G.; RIBEIRO, Ana C. M.; CANDIDO, Wellington M.; MEDEIROS, Poliana B.; MATSUZAKI, Cezar N.; BELDI, Mariana C.; TACLA, Maricy; CAIAFFA-FILHO, Helio H.; BONFA, Eloisa; SILVA, Clovis A.The objective of this study was to evaluate human papillomavirus (HPV) and Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infections in RA patients pre- and post-TNF blocker. Fifty female RA patients (ACR criteria), who were eligible to anti-TNF therapy [n = 50 at baseline (BL) and n = 45 after 6 months of treatment (6 M)], and 50 age-matched healthy controls were prospectively enrolled. They were assessed for demographic data, gynecologic, sexual, cervical cytology and histological evaluations, disease parameters and current treatment. HPV DNA and CT DNA testing in cervical specimens were done using Hybrid Capture II assays. At BL, the median current age of RA patients and controls was 49 (18-74) versus 49 (18-74) years, p = 1.0. A trend of lower frequency of HPV infection was observed in AR patients pre-anti-TNF compared with controls (14 vs. 30 %, p = 0.054). Further evaluation of AR patients with and without HPV infection before anti-TNF therapy showed that the former group had higher frequency of sexual intercourses (100 vs. 48 %, p = 0.014), higher median number of sexual partners [1 (1-1) vs. 0 (0-1), p = 0.032] and higher frequency of abnormal cervical cytology (43 vs. 7 %, p = 0.029). Current age, disease duration, disease parameters and treatments were alike in both groups (p > 0.05). At 6 M after TNF blockage, HPV infection remained unchanged in five patients, whereas two became negative and one additional patient turned out to be positive (p = 1.0). CT infection was uniformly negative in RA patients pre- and post-TNF blockage and in controls. Anti-TNF does not seem to increase short-term risk of exacerbation and/or progression of HPV and CT infections in RA patients.
article 13 Citação(ões) na Scopus Condyloma acuminatum in childhood-systemic lupus erythematosus patients(2014) LUBE, Gabriella E.; AIKAWA, Nadia E.; TACLA, Maricy; LEAL, Marta M.; LOURENCO, Benito; SILVA, Luiz E. V.; QUEIROZ, Ligia B.; BARACAT, Edmund C.; SILVA, Clovis A.Introduction: Infections are frequent in childhood-systemic lupus erythematosus (C-SLE) patients, including human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV infection may cause genital and anal warts named condyloma acuminatum (CA). To our knowledge, none case was reported and the prevalence of CA in C-SLE population was not performed. Case Reports: From January 1983 to May 2012, 5,682 patients were followed at the Pediatric Rheumatology Unit from of our University Hospital and 289 (5%) of them met the American College of Rheumatology classification criteria for C- SLE. Four (1.4%) of our female patients had CA. The median age at diagnosis was 13 years. Three of them were sexually active and all of them had active disease and had high risk HPV anogenital warts. Pap smears showed low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, guided biopsies identified chronic cervicitis, vulvar, vaginal, anal and/or cervix intraepithelial neoplasia. All of them were under corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs. The visible genital warts lesions were eradicated. Discussion: Our patients requires rigorous gynecologic follow-up due to the severe anogenital dysplasia. HPV vaccine should be indicated in all C-SLE prior to sexual activity.- Lower genital tract infections in young female juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients(2019) V, Gabriela R. Ferreira; TOMIOKA, Renato B.; QUEIROZ, Ligia B.; KOZU, Katia; AIKAWA, Nadia E.; SALLUM, Adriana M. E.; SERAFINI, Paulo; TACLA, Maricy; BARACAT, Edmund C.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.; BONFA, Eloisa; SILVA, Clovis A.Background To evaluate human papillomavirus (HPV), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infections in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients. Methods After exclusion, 33 female adolescent and young JIA patients (ILAR criteria) and 28 healthy controls were selected for this study. Demographic data, gynecological, sexual function, cervical cytology and histological abnormalities were evaluated. JIA clinical/laboratorial parameters and treatment were also assessed. HPV-DNA, CT-DNA and NG-DNA testing in cervical specimens were performed by Hybrid Capture 2 assays. Results The mean current age was similar in JIA patients and controls (23.3 +/- 6.24 vs. 26.1 +/- 6.03 years, p = 0.09). The frequencies of sexual intercourse (76% vs. 89%, p = 0.201) and abnormal cervical cytology (24% vs. 11%, p = 0.201) were similar in JIA compared to controls. The higher frequency of HPV infection in JIA patients than controls (30% vs. 11%, p = 0.155) did not reach statistical significance. CT (0% vs. 7%, p = 0.207) and NG infections (0% vs. 4%, p = 0.459) were also alike in both groups. Further evaluation of JIA patients with abnormal and normal cervical cytology showed that the former group had a higher frequency of HPV infection (87% vs. 12%, p = 0.0002) with a low frequency of HPV vaccination (0% vs. 8%, p = 1.0). No differences were evidenced between these two JIA groups regarding demographic data, sexual function and clinical/laboratorial parameters. The frequencies of methotrexate (p = 0.206) and biological agent use (p = 0.238) were similar in both JIA groups. Conclusions To our knowledge, this was the first study to assess lower genital infections in JIA patients allowing the identification of HPV as main cause of cervical dysplasia. Methotrexate and biological agents do not seem to increase risk of lower genital tract infections in JIA patients.
