- Safety and immunogenicity of influenza A(H3N2) component vaccine in juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus(2023) AIKAWA, Nadia Emi; BORBA, Eduardo Ferreira; BALBI, Verena Andrade; SALLUM, Adriana Maluf Elias; BUSCATTI, Izabel Mantovani; CAMPOS, Lucia Maria Arruda; KOZU, Katia Tomie; GARCIA, Cristiana Couto; CAPAO, Artur Silva Vidal; PROENCA, Adriana Coracini Tonacio de; LEON, Elaine Pires; DUARTE, Alberto Jose da Silva; LOPES, Marta Heloisa; SILVA, Clovis Artur; BONFA, EloisaIntroduction Seasonal influenza A (H3N2) virus is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the last 50 years in population that is greater than the impact of H1N1. Data assessing immunogenicity and safety of this virus component in juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) is lacking in the literature.Objective To evaluate short-term immunogenicity and safety of influenza A/Singapore (H3N2) vaccine in JSLE.Methods 24 consecutive JSLE patients and 29 healthy controls (HC) were vaccinated with influenza A/Singapore/INFIMH-16-0019/2016(H3N2)-like virus. Influenza A (H3N2) seroprotection (SP), seroconversion (SC), geometric mean titers (GMT), factor increase in GMT (FI-GMT) titers were assessed before and 4 weeks post-vaccination. Disease activity, therapies and adverse events (AE) were also evaluated.Results JSLE patients and controls were comparable in current age [14.5 (10.1-18.3) vs. 14 (9-18.4) years, p = 0.448] and female sex [21 (87.5%) vs. 19 (65.5%), p = 0.108]. Before vaccination, JSLE and HC had comparable SP rates [22 (91.7%) vs. 25 (86.2%), p = 0.678] and GMT titers [102.3 (95% CI 75.0-139.4) vs. 109.6 (95% CI 68.2-176.2), p = 0.231]. At D30, JSLE and HC had similar immune response, since no differences were observed in SP [24 (100%) vs. 28 (96.6%), p = 1.000)], SC [4 (16.7%) vs. 9 (31.0%), p = 0.338), GMT [162.3 (132.9-198.3) vs. 208.1 (150.5-287.8), p = 0.143] and factor increase in GMT [1.6 (1.2-2.1) vs. 1.9 (1.4-2.5), p = 0.574]. SLEDAI-2K scores [2 (0-17) vs. 2 (0-17), p = 0.765] and therapies remained stable throughout the study. Further analysis of possible factors influencing vaccine immune response among JSLE patients demonstrated similar GMT between patients with SLEDAI < 4 compared to SLEDAI >= 4 (p = 0.713), as well as between patients with and without current use of prednisone (p = 0.420), azathioprine (p = 1.0), mycophenolate mofetil (p = 0.185), and methotrexate (p = 0.095). No serious AE were reported in both groups and most of them were asymptomatic (58.3% vs. 44.8%, p = 0.958). Local and systemic AE were alike in both groups (p > 0.05).Conclusion This is the first study that identified adequate immune protection against H3N2-influenza strain with additional vaccine-induced increment of immune response and an adequate safety profile in JSLE.

- Comparison between treatment naive juvenile and adult dermatomyositis muscle biopsies: difference of inflammatory cells phenotyping(2018) SHINJO, Samuel Katsuyuki; SALLUM, Adriana Maluf Elias; OBA-SHINJO, Sueli Mieko; SILVA, Marilda Guimaraes; SILVA, Clovis Artur; MARIE, Suely Kazue NagahashiBackground: Different inflammatory cells (i.e., CD4, CD8, CD20 and CD68) are involved in pathogenesis of DM muscle. In this context, the aim of this study was to assess and compare these inflammatory cell phenotyping in muscle samples of treatment naive juvenile and adult patients with dermatomyositis. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, in which 28 untreated juvenile and 28 adult untreated dermatomyositis patients were included. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed on serial frozen muscle sections. Inflammatory cell phenotyping was analyzed quantitatively in endomysium, perimysium, and perivascular (endomysium and perimysium) area. Results: Mean age at disease onset was 73 and 42.0 years in juvenile and adult dermatomyositis, respectively. Both groups had comparable time duration from symptom's onset to biopsy performance. CD4 and CD8 positive cells distributions were similar in both groups in all analyzed area, except for more predominance of CD4 in perimysium at juvenile muscle biopsies. The CD20 and CD68 positive cells were predominantly observed in adult muscle biopsy sections, when compared to juvenile samples, except for similar distribution of CD20 in perivascular endomysium, and CD68 in perimysium. Conclusions: These data show that the differences between juvenile and adult dermatomyositis may be restricted not only to patients' age, but also to different inflammatory cell distribution, particularly, in new-onset disease. Further studies are necessary to confirm the present study data and to analyze meaning of the different inflammatory cell phenotyping distribution finding in these both diseases.
- Sexual function in female juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients(2019) PITTA, Ana Claudia; FERREIRA, Gabriela Ribeiro Viola; TOMIOKA, Renato Bussadori; LOURENCO, Daniela Mencaroni Rodrigues; KOZU, Katia; AIKAWA, Nadia Emi; SALLUM, Adriana Maluf Elias; CAMPOS, Lucia Maria Arruda; ABDO, Carmita Helena Najjar; PEREIRA, Rosa Maria Rodrigues; BARACAT, Edmund Chada; BONFA, Eloisa; SILVA, Clovis ArturObjective: To evaluate sexual function female adolescents and young adults with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and healthy controls. Methods: After exclusion, 21 female adolescent and young JIA patients and 25 healthy controls were selected for this study. Sexual function was assessed by the Sexual Quotient Questionnaire for Females (SQQ-F) score, which is a validated tool and adapted for Brazilian Portuguese language. Demographic data, JIA clinical/laboratory parameters and treatment were also assessed. Results: The median current age [26.5 (17-38.1) vs. 29.3 (19.7-35.8) years, p = 0.700)] as well as age at the first sexual activity [18 (14-30) vs. 17 (10-24) years, p = 0.158] were similar in JIA patients and healthy controls. The median of SQQF score was alike in both groups [75.9 (50-92) vs. 78.2 (58-94), p = 0.529], as well as frequencies of sexual dysfunction (14% vs. 12%, p = 1.000). The frequencies of all sexual domains (desire/sexual fantasies, desire/interest, arousal/foreplay, arousal/lubrication, arousal/in tune with partner, penetration/relaxation, pain/penetration, desire/involvement, orgasm and general satisfaction scores) were similar in JIA patients and healthy controls (p > 0.05). Conclusions: To our knowledge, this was the first study using a validated sexual score in a chronic arthritis population suggesting a low frequency of overall sexual dysfunction in young JIA patients. Future multicenter studies with a large sample will be necessary to confirm this finding.
- Juvenile dermatomyositis: is periodonta disease associated with dyslipidemia?(2018) KOZU, Katia T.; SILVA, Clovis A.; AIKAWA, Nadia E.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.; SALLUM, Adriana M.; SAVIOLI, Cynthia; BORBA, Eduardo; CAMPOS, Lucia M.Background: Association between periodontal disease and dyslipidemia was recently reported in healthy adults. However, a systematic evaluation of concomitant periodontal diseases and lipid profile was not carried out in juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). A cross-section study was performed in 25 JDM patients and 25 healthy controls, assessing demographic data, periodontal evaluation, fasting lipoproteins and anti-lipoprotein lipase antibodies. Disease parameters, laboratorial tests and treatment were also evaluated in JDM patients. Results: The mean current age was similar in patients and controls (11.5 +/- 3.75 vs. 112 +/- 2.58 years,p = 0.703). Regarding lipid profile, the median triglycerides [80(31-340) vs. 61(19-182)mg/dL,p= 0.011] and VLDLD 6(6-68) vs. 13(4-36)mg/dL,p= 0.020] were significantly higher in JDM patients versus controls. Gingival vasculopathy pattern was significantly higher in the former group (60% vs. 0%,p = 0.0001), as well as the median of gingival bleeding index (GBI) [24.1(4.2-69.4) vs. 11.1(0-66.6)%,p= 0.001] and probing pocket depth (PPD) [1.7(0.6-2.4) vs.1.4(0-2.12) mm,p = 0.006]. Comparison between JDM patients with and without dyslipidemia revealed that the median of dental plaque index (PI) [100(26.7-100) vs. 59(25-100)%,p = 0.022], PPD[1.9(0.6-2.4) vs. 1.4(1.2-1.8)mm,p= 0.024] and clinical attachment level (CAL) [1.31(0.7-1.7) vs. 0.8(0.6-1.7)mm,p = 0.005] were significantly higher in patients with dyslipidemia. Further analysis between JDM patients with and without gingivitis revealed that the median of current age [12.4 (8.3-18.4) vs. 9.2 (5.5-17.5) years, p = 0.034] and disease duration [7.09 +/- 3.07 vs. 3.95 +/- 2.1 years, p = 0.008] were significantly higher in the former group. Conclusion: Our study showed that gingival inflammation seems to be related to dyslipidemia in JDM patients, suggesting underlying mechanisms for both complications.
- Autoimmune hepatitis in 847 childhood- onset systemic lupus erythematosus population: a multicentric cohort study(2018) BALBI, Verena A.; MONTENEGRO, Barbara; PITTA, Ana C.; SCHMIDT, Ana R.; FARHAT, Sylvia C.; COELHO, Laila P.; FERREIRA, Juliana C. O.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.; TERRERI, Maria T.; SAAD-MAGALHAES, Claudia; AIKAWA, Nadia E.; SAKAMOTO, Ana P.; KOZU, Katia; CAMPOS, Lucia M.; SALLUM, Adriana M.; FERRIANI, Virginia P.; PIOTTO, Daniela P.; BONFA, Eloisa; SILVA, Clovis A.Objective: To evaluate autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in a multicenter cohort of childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) patients. Methods: This retrospective multicenter study included 847 patients with cSLE, performed in 10 Pediatric Rheumatology services of Sao Paulo state, Brazil. AIH was defined according to the International Autoimmune Hepatitis Group criteria (IAHGC). The statistical analysis was performed using the Bonferroni's correction (p < 0.0033). Results: AIH in cSLE patients confirmed by biopsy was observed in 7/847 (0.8%) and all were diagnosed during adolescence. The majority occurred before or at cSLE diagnosis [5/7 (71%)]. Antinuclear antibodies were a universal finding, 43% had concomitantly anti-smooth muscle antibodies and all were seronegative for anti-liver kidney microsomal antibodies. All patients with follow-up >= 18 months (4/7) had complete response to therapy according to lAHGC None had severe hepatic manifestations such as hepatic failure, portal hypertension and cirrhosis at presentation or follow-up. Further comparison of 7 cSLE patients with AIH and 28 without this complication with same disease duration [0 (0-8.5) vs. 0.12 (0-8.5) years, p = 0.06] revealed that the frequency of hepatomegaly was significantly higher in cSLE patients in the former group (71% vs. 11%, p = 0.003) with a similar median SLEDAI-2 K score [6 (0-26) vs. 7 (0-41), p = 0.755]. No differences were evidenced regarding constitutional involvement, splenomegaly, serositis, musculoskeletal, neuropsychiatric and renal involvements, and treatments in cSLE patients with and without AIH (p > 0.0033). Conclusions: Overlap of AIH and cSLE was rarely observed in this large multicenter study and hepatomegaly was the distinctive clinical feature of these patients. AIH occurred during adolescence, mainly at the first years of lupus and it was associated with mild liver manifestations.
- 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.
- Childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) and malignancy: a nationwide multicentre series review(2024) BRUFATTO, Matheus Zanata; LANCAS, Sean Hideo Shirata; FERNANDES, Taciana de Albuquerque Pedrosa; SALLUM, Adriana Maluf Elias; CAMPOS, Lucia Maria Arruda; SAKAMOTO, Ana Paula; TERRERI, Maria Teresa; SZTAJNBOK, Flavio Roberto; BICA, Blanca Elena Rios Gomes; FERRIANI, Virginia Paes Leme; CARVALHO, Luciana Martins de; SILVA, Clovis Artur Almeida; SAAD-MAGALHAES, ClaudiaBackgroundIncreased malignancy frequency is well documented in adult-systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but with limited reports in childhood-onset SLE (cSLE) series. We explored the frequency of malignancy associated with cSLE, describing clinical and demographic characteristics, disease activity and cumulative damage, by the time of malignancy diagnosis.MethodA retrospective case-notes review, in a nationwide cohort from 27 Pediatric Rheumatology centres, with descriptive biopsy-proven malignancy, disease activity/damage accrual, and immunosuppressive treatment were compiled in each participating centre, using a standard protocol.ResultsOf the 1757 cSLE cases in the updated cohort, 12 (0.7%) developed malignancy with median time 10 years after cSLE diagnosis. There were 91% females, median age at cSLE diagnosis 12 years, median age at malignancy diagnosis 23 years. Of all diagnosed malignancies, 11 were single-site, and a single case with concomitant multiple sites; four had haematological (0.22%) and 8 solid malignancy (0.45%). Median (min-max) SLEDAI-2 K scores were 9 (0-38), median (min-max) SLICC/ACR-DI (SDI) score were 1 (1-5) Histopathology defined 1 Hodgkin's lymphoma, 2 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, 1 acute lymphoblastic leukaemia; 4 gastrointestinal carcinoma, 1 squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue and 1 anal carcinoma; 1 had sigmoid adenocarcinoma and 1 stomach carcinoid; 3 had genital malignancy, being 1 vulvae, 1 cervix and 1 vulvae and cervix carcinomas; 1 had central nervous system oligodendroglioma; and 1 testicle germ cell teratoma.ConclusionEstimated malignancy frequency of 0.7% was reported during cSLE follow up in a multicentric series. Median disease activity and cumulative damage scores, by the time of malignancy diagnoses, were high; considering that reported in adult series.
- Characterization of scrotal involvement in children and adolescents with IgA vasculitis(2018) BUSCATTI, Izabel M.; ABRAO, Henrique M.; KOZU, Katia; MARQUES, Victor L. S.; GOMES, Roberta C.; SALLUM, Adriana M. E.; SILVA, Clovis A.Objective: To characterize scrotal involvement in children and adolescents with IgA vasculitis. Methods: A cross-sectional retrospective study included 296 IgA vasculitis (EULAR/PRINTO/PRES criteria) patients, 150/296 (51%) were males and assessed by demographic/clinical/laboratory and treatments. Scrotal involvement was defined by the presence of scrotal edema and/or pain/tenderness in physical examination and/or testicular Doppler ultrasound abnormalities. Results: Scrotal involvement was observed in 28/150 (19%) IgA vasculitis patients. This complication was evidenced at IgA vasculitis diagnosis in 27/28 (96%). Acute recurrent scrotal involvement was observed in 2/150 (1%) and none had chronic subtype. Further analysis of patients with scrotal involvement at first episode (n = 27) compared to those without this complication (n = 122) revealed that the median age at diagnosis [4.0 (2.0-12) vs. 6 (1.3-13) years, p = 0.249] was similar in both groups. The frequency of elevated serum IgA was significantly lower in IgA vasculitis patients with scrotal involvement versus without this manifestation (18% vs. 57%, p = 0.017), whereas glucocorticoid (93% vs. 49%, p < 0.0001) and ranitidine use (63% vs. 30%, p = 0.003) were significantly higher in the former group. Conclusions: The scrotal involvement occurred in almost one fifth of IgA vasculitis patients and was commonly evidenced as acute subtype at diagnosis. Scrotal signs/symptoms improved after a prompt use of glucocorticoid and was associated with low frequency of elevated IgA serum levels.
