- Reducing infection risk in multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders: a Brazilian reference center's approach(2022) GOMES, Ana Beatriz Ayroza Galvao Ribeiro; FEO, Lucas Bueno; SILVA, Guilherme Diogo; DISSEROL, Caio Cesar Diniz; PAOLILO, Renata Barbosa; LARA, Amanda Nazareth; TONACIO, Adriana Coracini; MENDES, Maria Fernanda; PEREIRA, Samira Luisa Apostolos; CALLEGARO, DagobertoBackground Multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are the most common autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). They present chronic relapsing courses that demand treatment with disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) to prevent inflammatory activity. Disease-modifying drugs lead to immunomodulation or immunosuppression through diverse mechanisms (e.g., shifting lymphocyte and cytokine profile, suppressing specific lymphocyte subpopulations). Thus, patients are more prone to infectious complications and associated worsening of disease. Objective To present feasible strategies for mitigating the infection risk of MS and NMOSD treated patients. Methods Targeted literature review concerning the management of infection risk with an emphasis on vaccination, therapy-specific measures, and particularities of the Brazilian endemic infectious diseases' scenario. Conclusion We propose a vaccination schedule, infectious screening routine, and prophylactic measures based on the current scientific evidence. Awareness of emergent tropical diseases is necessary due to evidence of demyelinating events and possible parainfectious cases of MS and NMOSD.
- Yellow fever vaccination in Brazil: Short-term safety and immunogenicity in juvenile autoimmune rheumatic diseases(2022) AIKAWA, Nadia Emi; BALBI, Verena Andrade; BORBA, Eduardo Ferreira; TONACIO, Adriana Coracini; SALLUM, Adriana Maluf Elias; CAMPOS, Lucia Maria Arruda; KOZU, Katia Tomie; VENDRAMINI, Margarete Borges; FONTOURA, Nicole; AZEVEDO, Adriana de Souza; SCHWARCZ, Waleska Dias; SARTORI, Ana Marli Christovam; ANTONANGELO, Leila; SILVA, Clovis Artur; BONFA, EloisaYellow fever vaccine (YFV) is a live attenuated vaccine usually contraindicated for juvenile autoimmune rheumatic disease (JARD) patients. During the recent epidemic in Sao Paulo-Brazil, YFV was indicated for patients under low immunosuppression. Thirty JARD patients with inactive diseases undergoing low immunosuppression and 30 healthy controls (HC) were vaccinated with a fractional dose 17DD YFV (similar to 5495 IU) and evaluated 30 days later. JARD patients and controls had comparable median age (12.4 vs. 12 years, p = 0.250). Disease parameters remained stable 30 days after 17DD YFV (p > 0.05) and only mild adverse events were reported in both groups (p > 0.05). JARD and HC had similar seroprotection [93% vs. 100%;p = 0.49], seroconversion rates [96% vs. 100%;p = 0.489], and GMT [1249 vs.1293; p = 0.821]. Both groups had similar white-blood-cells kinetics with transient decreases in lymphocytes at D5 and neutrophils at D10, followed by full recovery at D30 (P < 0.05). In conclusion, 17DD YFV was safe and immunogenic in JARD. This study may contribute to recommendations for patients living/travelling to endemic areas. (C) 2021 The Authors.
- Monkeypox Virus Transmission to Healthcare Worker through Needlestick Injury, Brazil(2022) CARVALHO, Laina Bubach; CASADIO, Luciana V. B.; POLLY, Matheus; NASTRI, Ana Catharina; TURDO, Anna Claudia; ELIODORO, Raissa H. De Araujo; SABINO, Ester Cerdeira; LEVIN, Anna Sara; PROENCA, Adriana Coracini Tonacio de; HIGASHINO, Hermes RyoitiWe describe monkeypox virus (MPXV) transmission from a patient to a healthcare worker through needlestick injury. A lesion appeared at the inoculation site 5 days after inju-ry. Blood tested MPXV-positive by PCR before symptoms worsened; blood remained MPXV-positive at discharge 19 days after symptom onset. Postexposure prophylaxis could prevent potential MPXV bloodborne transmission.
