- Colagenose pulmão dominante em pacientes com doença pulmonar intersticial: prevalência, estabilidade funcional e manifestações extratorácicas comuns(2015) PEREIRA, Daniel Antunes Silva; DIAS, Olivia Meira; ALMEIDA, Guilherme Eler de; ARAUJO, Mariana Sponholz; KAWANO-DOURADO, Leticia Barbosa; BALDI, Bruno Guedes; KAIRALLA, Ronaldo Adib; CARVALHO, Carlos Roberto RibeiroObjective: To describe the characteristics of a cohort of patients with lung-dominant connective tissue disease (LD-CTD). Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) results (>= 1/320), with or without specific autoantibodies, and at least one clinical feature suggestive of connective tissue disease (CO). Results: Of the 1,998 patients screened, 52 initially met the criteria for a diagnosis of LD-CTD: 37% were male; the mean age at diagnosis was 56 years; and the median follow-up period was 48 months. During follow-up, 8 patients met the criteria for a definitive diagnosis of a CTD. The remaining 44 patients comprised the LD-CTD group, in which the most prevalent extrathoracic features were arthralgia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and Raynaud's phenomenon. The most prevalent autoantibodies in this group were ANA (89%) and anti-SSA (anti-Ro, 27%). The mean baseline and final FVC was 69.5% and 74.0% of the predicted values, respectively (p > 0.05). Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia and usual interstitial pneumonia patterns were found in 45% and 9% of HRCT scans, respectively; 36% of the scans were unclassifiable. A similar prevalence was noted in histological samples. Diffuse esophageal dilatation was identified in 52% of HRCT scans. Nailfold capillaroscopy was performed in 22 patients; 17 showed a scleroderma pattern. Conclusions: In our LD-CTD group, there was predominance of females and the patients showed mild spirometric abnormalities at diagnosis, with differing underlying ILD patterns that were mostly unclassifiable on HRCT and by histology. We found functional stability on follow-up. Esophageal dilatation on HRCT and scleroderma pattern on nailfold capillaroscopy were frequent findings and might come to serve as diagnostic criteria.

Sponholz; DIAS, O. Meira; PEREIRA, D. A. Silva; PIMENTA, S. Pinheiro; KAIRALLA, R. A.; CARVALHO, C. R. RibeiroBackground and objective: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease that promotes pulmonary cystic destruction and impairs pulmonary function. We aim to describe features and clinical course of LAM patients from Brazil. Methods: We described the clinical and functional features, performance in six minute walk test (6MWT), management details, survival and clinical course of 84 LAM patients followed in a Brazilian reference centre. Results: All subjects were women, the average age at onset of symptoms was 38 years, and the average at diagnosis was 42 years. The major symptoms during the course of the disease were dyspnoea and pneumothorax. The patients experienced impaired quality of life, with worse scores in the physical and emotional domains. The most common abnormalities in pulmonary function tests were an obstructive pattern and reduced diffusion capacity, whereas a quarter of the patients had normal spirometric results. In the 6MWT, although patients had preserved exercise capacity, more than half of the patients had significant desaturation. Hormonal blockage and doxycycline were the most common treatment modalities employed in our patients. The survival probability from diagnosis was 90% at 5 years, whereas the mean annual rate of decline in FEV1 was 60 +/- 78 mL. Conclusions: Clinical and functional features of the LAM patients from our centre are similar to those from other countries. Our sample showed preserved exercise capacity, with desaturation in the 6MWT, and impaired quality of life. Survival was similar, whereas the annual rate of decline of FEV1 was slightly lower than in recent studies.conferenceObject Evaluation and correlations of the extension of pulmonary cysts in lymphangioleiomyomatosis(2013) ARAUJO, Mariana Sponholz; FREITAS, Carolina Salim Goncalves; BALDI, Bruno Guedes; TELES, Gustavo Borges da Silva; PIMENTA, Suzana Pinheiro; PEREIRA, Daniel Antunes Silva; DIAS, Olivia Meira; COSTA, Andre Nathan; KAWANO-DOURADO, Leticia; KAWASSAKI, Alexandre; KAIRALLA, Ronaldo Adib; CARVALHO, Carlos Roberto Ribeiro- Transient Lymphadenopathy Secondary to Nephrotic Syndrome(2012) DIAS, Olivia Meira; COSTA, Andre Nathan; CARVALHO, Carlos Roberto Ribeiro; KAIRALLA, Ronaldo AdibMediastinal lymphadenomegaly secondary to hypervolemia is an underdiagnosed tomographic finding. Herein we describe, in a patient with normal cardiac function, findings of pulmonary congestion associated to lymph node enlargement. The nephrotic syndrome causing hypoalbuminemia, low plasma colloid osmotic pressure and augmented transcapillary fluid leakage was the probable cause of the radiological findings.
