    Hepatitis C in Children and Adolescents of a Brazilian Tertiary Center Identifying Patients Eligible for Direct-Acting Antivirals
    (2020) HIRSCH, Camila Bellettini; PEREIRA, Maria Fernanda Badue; BENEVIDES, Gabriel Nuncio; BERNARDES, Tamires Miranda; PALANDRI, Giovanna Gavros; BASTOS, Karina Lucio de Medeiros; TOMA, Ricardo Katsuya; AZEVEDO, Ramiro Anthero de; MARQUES, Heloisa Helena de Sousa
    We evaluated 113 pediatric patients with chronic hepatitis C from 2009 to 2019 at a Brazilian tertiary center. Seventy patients received pegylated-interferon treatment. The sustained virologic response was 61.4%, and 92.8% reported side effects. Currently, we are following 39 patients with chronic hepatitis C, 24 of whom are eligible for treatment with direct-acting antivirals according to Brazilian recommendations.

    Home-Based Exercise Training in the Recovery of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children: A Case Series Study
    (2023) ASTLEY, Camilla; LEAL, Gabriela Nunes; GIL, Saulo; SUGUITA, Priscila; FINK, Thais; BAIN, Vera; PEREIRA, Maria Fernanda Badue; MARQUES, Heloisa Helena; SIECZKOWSKA, Sofia; PRADO, Danilo; LIMA, Marcos Santos; CARNEIRO, Camila G.; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto; SILVA, Clovis Artur; GUALANO, Bruno
    Objective: To assess the potential therapeutic role of exercise on health-related quality of life, assessed by the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI), coronary flow reserve (CFR), cardiac function, cardiorespiratory fitness, and inflammatory and cardiac blood markers in multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) patients. Methods: This is a case series study of a 12-wk, home-based exercise intervention in children and adolescents after MIS-C diagnosis. From 16 MIS-C patients followed at our clinic, 6 were included (age: 7-16 years; 3 females). Three of them withdrew before the intervention and served as controls. The primary outcome was health-related quality of life, assessed PODCI. Secondary outcomes were CFR assessed by 13N-ammonia PET-CT imaging, cardiac function by echocardiography, cardiorespiratory fitness, and inflammatory and cardiac blood markers. Results: In general, patients showed poor health-related quality of life, which seemed to be improved with exercise. Additionally, exercised patients showed improvements in coronary flow reserve, cardiac function, and aerobic conditioning. Non-exercised patients exhibited a slower pattern of recovery, particularly in relation to health-related quality of life and aerobic conditioning. Conclusions: Our results suggest that exercise may play a therapeutic role in the treatment of post-discharge MIS-C patients. As our design does not allow inferring causality, randomized controlled trials are necessary to confirm these preliminary findings.

    In-depth cardiovascular and pulmonary assessments in children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome after SARS-CoV-2 infection: A case series study
    (2022) ASTLEY, Camilla; PEREIRA, Maria Fernanda Badue; LIMA, Marcos Santos; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto; CARNEIRO, Camila G.; SAPIENZA, Marcelo Tatit; LEAL, Gabriela Nunes; PRADO, Danilo Marcelo Leite do; PECANHA, Tiago; SIECZKOWSKA, Sofia Mendes; MATSUO, Olivia Mari; LINDOSO, Livia; MARQUES, Heloisa Helena; SILVA, Clovis Artur; GUALANO, Bruno
    We assessed PET-CT myocardial blood flow (MBF) using N-13 ammonia, brachial flow-mediated dilation, and cardiopulmonary exercise test in five post-discarged MIS-C survivors. None of the patients (median age: 9, range: 7-18 years; 3 females; 2 males) had preexisting pediatric chronic conditions. At the follow-up visit, two patients exhibited severe perfusion defect developed in the left ventricular cavity, suggesting extensive myocardial ischemia (MBF <2.0) and one patient showed persistent mild pericardial effusion. Others two patients demonstrated endothelial dysfunction. Nevertheless, all patients had lower predicted values in the VO2peak, VO2VAT, OUES, and O-2 Pulse (range: 35.2%-64.5%; 15.6%-38.2%; 1.0-1.3 L/min; 4-7 ml/beat), respectively. Our d suggested that previously health MIS-C patients had impaired MBF, endothelial dysfunction and lower cardiopulmonary capacity at follow-up analysis. Multidisciplinary further investigations should be conducted to reinforce these findings.

    (2020) PEREIRA, Maria Fernanda Badue; LITVINOV, Nadia; FARHAT, Sylvia Costa Lima; EISENCRAFT, Adriana Pasmanik; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta Bento Cicaroni; CARVALHO, Werther Brunow de; FERNANDES, Vinicius Rodrigues; FINK, Thais de Toledo; FRAMIL, Juliana Valeria de Souza; GALLETI, Karine Vusberg; FANTE, Alice Lima; FONSECA, Maria Fernanda Mota; WATANABE, Andreia; PAULA, Camila Sanson Yoshino de; PALANDRI, Giovanna Gavros; LEAL, Gabriela Nunes; DINIZ, Maria de Fatima Rodrigues; PINHO, Joao Renato Rebello; SILVA, Clovis Artur; MARQUES, Heloisa Helena de Sousa
    OBJECTIVES: To assess the outcomes of pediatric patients with laboratory-confirmed coronavirus disease (COVID-19) with or without multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 471 samples collected from 371 patients (age<18 years) suspected of having severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The study group comprised 66/371 (18%) laboratory-confirmed pediatric COVID-19 patients: 61 (92.5%) patients tested positive on real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction tests for SARS-CoV-2, and 5 (7.5%) patients tested positive on serological tests. MIS-C was diagnosed according to the criteria of the Center for Disease Control. RESULTS: MIS-C was diagnosed in 6/66 (9%) patients. The frequencies of diarrhea, vomiting, and/or abdominal pain (67% vs. 22%, p=0.034); pediatric SARS (67% vs. 13%, p=0.008); hypoxemia (83% vs. 23%, p=0.006); and arterial hypotension (50% vs. 3%, p=0.004) were significantly higher in patients with MIS-C than in those without MIS-C. The frequencies of C-reactive protein levels >50 mg/L (83% vs. 25%, p=0.008) and D-dimer levels >1000 ng/mL (100% vs. 40%, p=0.007) and the median D-dimer, troponin T, and ferritin levels (p < 0.05) were significantly higher in patients with MIS-C. The frequencies of pediatric intensive care unit admission (100% vs. 60%, p=0.003), mechanical ventilation (83% vs. 7%, p < 0.001), vasoactive agent use (83% vs. 3%, p <0.001), shock (83% vs. 5%, p<0.001), cardiac abnormalities (100% vs. 2%, p <0.001), and death (67% vs. 3%, p < 0.001) were also significantly higher in patients with MIS-C. Similarly, the frequencies of oxygen therapy (100% vs. 33%, p=0.003), intravenous immunoglobulin therapy (67% vs. 2%, p < 0.001), aspirin therapy (50% vs. 0%, p < 0.001), and current acute renal replacement therapy (50% vs. 2%, p=0.002) were also significantly higher in patients with MIS-C. Logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of MIS-C was significantly associated with gastrointestinal manifestations [odds ratio (OR)=10.98; 95%CI (95% confidence interval)=1.20-100.86; p=0.034] and hypoxemia [OR=16.85; 95%CI=1.34-211.80; p=0.029]. Further univariate analysis showed a positive association between MIS-C and death [OR=58.00; 95%CI=6.39526.79; p <0 .0001]. CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 with MIS-C had a severe clinical spectrum with a high mortality rate. Our study emphasizes the importance of investigating MIS-C in pediatric patients with COVID-19 presenting with gastrointestinal involvement and hypoxemia.

    Segmental cardiac strain assessment by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography in surviving MIS-c patients: Correlations with myocardial flow reserve (MFR) by 13 N-ammonia PET-CT
    (2022) LEAL, Gabriela Nunes; ASTLEY, Camila; LIMA, Marcos Santos; DINIZ, Maria de Fatima Rodrigues; LIANZA, Alessandro Cavalcanti; SAWAMURA, Karen Saori Shiraishi; MENEZES, Carolina Rocha Brito; SILVA, Camila Lino Martins Rodrigues da; BAIN, Vera; IMADA, Rodrigo; CHALELA, William; PEREIRA, Maria Fernanda Badue; MARQUES, Heloisa Helena de Sousa; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto; GUALANO, Bruno; SILVA, Clovis Artur
    Background Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-c) is associated with severe cardiovascular impairment and eventually death. Pathophysiological mechanisms involved in myocardial injury were scarcely investigated, and cardiovascular outcomes are uncertain. Autopsy studies suggested that microvascular dysfunction may be relevant to LV impairment. Objective We aimed to evaluate segmental LV longitudinal strain by 2DST echocardiography and myocardial flow reserve (MFR) by 13 N-ammonia PET-CT, in six surviving MIS-c patients. Methods Each patient generated 34 LV segments for combined 2DST and MRF analysis. MFR was considered abnormal when <2, borderline when between 2 and 2.5 and normal when >2.5. Results From July 2020 to February 2021, six patients were admitted with MIS-c: three males, aged 9.3 (6.6-15.7) years. Time from admission to the follow-up visit was 6.05 (2-10.3) months. Although all patients were asymptomatic and LV EF was >= 55%, 43/102 (42.1%) LV segments showed MFR r = .36, p = .03 for basal segments; r = .41, p = .022 for mid segments; r = .42, p = .021 for apical segments. Median peak systolic longitudinal strain was different among MRF categories: 18% (12%-24%) for abnormal, 18.5% (11%-35%) for borderline, and 21% (12%-32%) for normal MFR (p = .006). Conclusion We provided preliminary evidence that surviving MIS-c patients may present subclinical impairment of myocardial microcirculation. Segmental cardiac strain assessment 2DST seems useful for MIS-c cardiovascular follow-up, given its good correlation with 13 N-ammonia PET-CT derived MFR.

    Circulating sTREM-1 as a predictive biomarker of pediatric multisystemic inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C)
    (2023) GONCALVES, Guilherme S.; CORREA-SILVA, Simone; ZHENG, Yingying; AVELAR, Isabela; MONTENEGRO, Marilia M.; FERREIRA, Arthur E. F.; BAIN, Vera; FINK, Thais T.; SUGUITA, Priscila; ASTLEY, Camilla; LINDOSO, Livia; MARTINS, Fernanda; MATSUO, Olivia M.; FERREIRA, Juliana C. O.

    The exacerbation of the inflammatory response caused by SARS-CoV-2 in adults promotes the production of soluble mediators that could act as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for COVID-19. Among the potential biomarkers, the soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell-1 (sTREM-1) has been described as a predictor of inflammation severity. The aim was to evaluate sTREM-1 and cytokine serum concentrations in pediatric patients during the acute and convalescent phases of COVID-19. This was a prospective study that included 53 children/adolescents with acute COVID-19 (Acute-CoV group); 54 who recovered from COVID-19 (Post-CoV group) and 54 controls (Control group). Preexisting chronic conditions were present in the three groups, which were defined as follows: immunological diseases, neurological disorders, and renal and hepatic failures. The three groups were matched by age, sex, and similar preexisting chronic conditions. No differences in sTREM-1 levels were detected among the groups or when the groups were separately analyzed by preexisting chronic conditions. However, sTREM-1 analysis in the seven multisystemic inflammatory syndrome children (MIS-C) within the Acute-Cov group showed that sTREM-1 concentrations were higher in MIS-C vs non-MIS-C acute patients. Then, the receiver operating curve analysis (ROC) performed with MIS-C acute patients revealed a significant AUC of 0.870, and the sTREM-1 cutoff value of > 5781 pg/mL yielded a sensitivity of 71.4 % and a specificity of 91.3 % for disease severity, and patients with sTREM-1 levels above this cutoff presented an elevated risk for MIS-C development in 22.85-fold (OR = 22.85 [95 % CI 1.64-317.5], p = 0.02). The cytokine analyses in the acute phase revealed that IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 concentrations were elevated regardless of whether the patient developed MIS-C, and those levels decreased in the convalescent phase, even when compared with controls. Spearman correlation analysis generated positive indexes between sTREM-1 and IL-12 and TNF-alpha concentrations, only within the Acute-CoV group. Our findings revealed that sTREM-1 in pediatric patients has good predictive accuracy as an early screening tool for surveillance of MIS-C cases, even in patients with chronic underlying conditions.

    (2024) ALMEIDA, Flavia Jacqueline; JAROVSKY, Daniel; FARIAS, Camila Giuliana Almeida; CASTILHO, Taisa Roberta Ramos Nantes de; CAETANO, Thiago Gara; BORSETTO, Cibele Cristina Manzoni Ribeiro; AGUIAR, Andressa Simoes; ARAUJO, Carolina Serafini de; PEREIRA, Maria Fernanda Badue; MARQUES, Heloisa Helena de Sousa; SILVA, Clovis Artur; TANNURE, Andressa Ribeiro de Matos; PRADO, Rogerio; MAU, Luciana Becker; ALVARES, Paula Andrade; SIQUEIRA, Antonio Carlos de; SCREMIN, Gustavo Paro; OTSUKA, Marcelo; ARNONI, Mariana Volpe; LAPORTE, Roberta Machado Rissoni; CARLESSE, Fabianne Altruda de Moraes Costa; EJZENBERG, Fernanda; BEREZIN, Eitan Naaman; SAFADI, Marco Aurelio Palazzi
    Background:Brazil ' s case fatality rate (CFR) of pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children and adolescents (MIS-C) is among the highest worldwide. Despite these concerns, limited hospital-based and comprehensive pediatric data have been published on MIS-C in Brazilian children.We performed a descriptive analysis of the MIS-C scores in 16 public and private hospitals providing secondary and tertiary care in the metropolitan area of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Clinical and demographic information were systematically extracted from the electronic medical records of each patient. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the combined effects of MIS-C phenotype, disease severity and comorbidity as dependent variables.A total of 101 patients met the MIS-C criteria and were evaluated. The median age was 67 months, 60% were male, 28.7% were black or afrodescendant and 62.3% were admitted to public hospitals. Underlying medical conditions were observed in 16.8% of patients and were associated with a longer duration of hospitalization. A Kawasaki disease-like phenotype was observed in 43.5% of patients, and they demonstrated a trend of lower median age. Children with severe MIS-C were older (median age 91 months vs. 36 months) and had a nonspecific phenotype, more cardiovascular and respiratory involvement and kidney injury; 73.3% required intensive care, 20.8% required mechanical ventilation and 35.6% required inotropic support. Four deaths occurred (CFR = 3.9%), three of which were in healthy participants.We identified a lower median age, particularly among children with Kawasaki disease-like phenotypes, those with a significant need for intensive care, and a high CFR in MIS-C. Our findings confirmed the increased severity of the disease in the selected Brazilian population.Background:Brazil ' s case fatality rate (CFR) of pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children and adolescents (MIS-C) is among the highest worldwide.
