- Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus: a severe disease flare with serious outcome(2018) BLAY, Gabriela; RODRIGUES, Joaquim C.; FERREIRA, Juliana C. O.; LEAL, Gabriela N.; GORMEZANO, Natali W.; V, Glaucia Novak; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.; TERRERI, Maria T.; MAGALHAES, Claudia S.; MOLINARI, Beatriz C.; SAKAMOTO, Ana P.; AIKAWA, Nadia E.; CAMPOS, Lucia M. A.; FERNANDES, Taciana A. P.; CLEMENTE, Gleice; PERACCHI, Octavio A. B.; BUGNI, Vanessa; MARINI, Roberto; SACCHETTI, Silvana B.; CARVALHO, Luciana M.; FRAGA, Melissa M.; CASTRO, Tania C. M.; RAMOS, Valeria C.; BONFA, Eloisa; SILVA, Clovis A.Objective: To evaluate prevalence, clinical manifestations, laboratory abnormalities and treatment in a multicenter cohort study including 847 childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) patients with and without diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH), as well as concomitant parameters of severity. Methods: DAH was defined as the presence of at least three respiratory symptoms/signs associated with diffuse interstitial/alveolar infiltrates on chest x-ray or high-resolution computer tomography and sudden drop in hemoglobin levels. Statistical analysis was performed using Bonferroni correction (p<0.0022). Results: DAH was observed in 19/847 (2.2%) cSLE patients. Cough/dyspnea/tachycardia/hypoxemia occurred in all cSLE patients with DAH. Concomitant parameters of severity observed were: mechanical ventilation in 14/19 (74%), hemoptysis 12/19 (63%), macrophage activation syndrome 2/19 (10%) and death 9/19 (47%). Further analysis of cSLE patients at DAH diagnosis compared to 76 cSLE control patients without DAH with same disease duration [3 (1-151) vs. 4 (1-151) months, p = 0.335], showed higher frequencies of constitutional involvement (74% vs. 10%, p < 0.0001), serositis (63% vs. 6%, p < 0.0001) and sepsis (53% vs. 9%, p < 0.0001) in the DAH group. The median of disease activity score(SLEDAI-2 K) was significantly higher in cSLE patients with DAH [18 (5-40) vs. 6 (0-44), p < 0.0001]. The frequencies of thrombocytopenia (53% vs. 12%, p < 0.0001), intravenous methylprednisolone (95% vs. 16%, p < 0.0001) and intravenous cyclophosphamide (47% vs. 8%, p < 0.0001) were also significantly higher in DAH patients. Conclusions: This was the first study to demonstrate that DAH, although not a disease activity score descriptor, occurred in the context of significant moderate/severe cSLE flare. Importantly, we identified that this condition was associated with serious disease flare complicated by sepsis with high mortality rate.
- Disease presentation of 1312 childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus: influence of ethnicity(2019) FIOROT, Fernanda J.; ISLABAO, Aline G.; PEREIRA, Rosa M.; TERRERI, Maria T.; SAAD-MAGALHAES, Claudia; V, Glaucia Novak; MOLINARI, Beatriz C.; SAKAMOTO, Ana P.; AIKAWA, Nadia E.; CAMPOS, Lucia M.; PERACCHI, Octavio A.; APPENZELLER, Simone; FERRIANI, Virginia P.; SILVA, Marco F.; FONSECA, Adriana R.; SZTAJNBOK, Flavio R.; PAIM, Luciana B.; FRAGA, Melissa M.; OKUDA, Eunice M.; BICA, Blanca E.; SENA, Evaldo G.; MORAES, Ana J.; ROLIM, Ana M.; SPELLING, Paulo F.; SCHEIBEL, Iloite M.; CAVALCANTI, Andre S.; MATOS, Erica N.; ROBAZZI, Teresa C.; GUIMARAES, Luciano J.; SANTOS, Flavia P.; RAMOS, Valeria C.; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda; BONFA, Eloisa; SILVA, Clovis A.Objective To evaluate the influence of ethnicity in presentation of childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) patients. Methods This multicenter study included cSLE patients (American College of Rheumatology criteria) followed in 27 Pediatric Rheumatology services of Brazil. Ethnicities were classified in four groups according to the parents' and all four grandparents' self-reported ethnicity. The statistical analysis was performed using the Bonferroni's correction (p < 0.0027). Results According to ethnic groups, 1537 cSLE patients were classified in Caucasian (n = 786), African-Latin American (n = 526), Asian (n = 8), and others/unknown (n = 217). Comparisons between 1312 African-Latin American and Caucasian revealed similar median age at cSLE diagnosis [12.2(2.6-18) vs. 12.1(0.3-18) years, p = 0.234], time interval to diagnosis [0.25(0-12) vs. 0.3(0-10) years, p = 0.034], and SLEDAI-2K score [14(0-55) vs. 14(0-63), p = 0.781] in both groups. The mean number of diagnostic criteria according to SLICC (6.47 +/- 1.911 vs. 5.81 +/- 1.631, p < 0.0001) and frequencies of maculopapular lupus rash (8% vs. 3%, p < 0.0001), palate oral ulcers (17% vs. 11%, p = 0.001), tongue oral ulcers (4% vs. 1%, p = 0.001), and nonscarring alopecia (29% vs. 16%, p < 0.0001) were significantly higher in African-Latin American, whereas malar rash (45% vs. 58%, p < 0.0001) was more frequent in Caucasian. The presence of anti-phospholipid antibody (23% vs. 12%, p < 0.0001), low complement levels (58% vs. 41%, p < 0.0001), and isolated direct Coombs test (10% vs. 5%, p = 0.001) was also significantly higher in the former group. Conclusions Our study demonstrated that disease presentation severity of African-Latin American cSLE patients is comparable with Caucasian. Mucocutaneous manifestations and autoantibodies profile were the only distinctive features of the former group. The unique mixed background of Brazilian patients probably minimized race diversity spectrum of these patients.
- Characteristics of 1555 childhood-onset lupus in three groups based on distinct time intervals to disease diagnosis: a Brazilian multicenter study(2018) V, G. Novak; MOLINARI, B. C.; FERREIRA, J. C.; SAKAMOTO, A. P.; TERRERI, M. T.; PEREIRA, R. M. R.; SAAD-MAGALHAES, C.; AIKAWA, N. E.; CAMPOS, L. M.; LEN, C. A.; APPENZELLER, S.; FERRIANI, V. P.; SILVA, M. F.; OLIVEIRA, S. K.; ISLABDO, A. G.; SZTAJNBOK, F. R.; PAIM, L. B.; BARBOSA, C. M.; SANTOS, M. C.; BICA, B. E.; SENA, E. G.; MORAES, A. J.; ROLIM, A. M.; SPELLING, P. F.; SCHEIBEL, I. M.; CAVALCANTI, A. S.; MATOS, E. N.; ROBAZZI, T. C.; GUIMARACS, L. J.; SANTOS, F. P.; SILVA, C. T.; BONFA, E.; SILVA, C. A.Objective The objective of this study was to compare demographic data, clinical/laboratorial features and disease activity at diagnosis in three different groups with distinct time intervals between onset of signs/symptoms and disease diagnosis. Methods A multicenter study was performed in 1555 childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (American College of Rheumatology criteria) patients from 27 pediatric rheumatology services. Patients were divided into three childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus groups: A: short time interval to diagnosis (<1 month); B: intermediate time interval (1 and <3 months); and C: long time interval (3 months). An investigator meeting was held to define the protocol. Demographic data, SLICC classification criteria and SLEDAI-2K were evaluated. Results The number of patients in each group was: A=60 (4%); B=522 (33.5%); and C=973 (62.5%). The median age at diagnosis (11.1 (4.2-17) vs. 12 (1.9-17.7) vs. 12.5 (3-18) years, P=0.025) was significantly lower in group A compared with groups B and C. The median number of diagnostic criteria according to SLICC (7 (4-12) vs. 6 (4-13) vs. 6 (4-12), P<0.0001) and SLEDAI-2K (18 (6-57) vs. 16 (2-63) vs. 13 (1-49), P<0.0001) were significantly higher in group A than the other two groups. The frequency of oral ulcers in the palate (25% vs. 15% vs. 11%, P=0.003), pleuritis (25% vs. 24% vs. 14%, P<0.0001), nephritis (52% vs. 47% vs. 40%, P=0.009), neuropsychiatric manifestations (22% vs. 13% vs. 10%, P=0.008), thrombocytopenia (32% vs. 18% vs. 19%, P=0.037), leucopenia/lymphopenia (65% vs. 46% vs. 40%, P<0.0001) and anti-dsDNA antibodies (79% vs. 66% vs. 61%, P=0.01) were significantly higher in group A compared with the other groups. In contrast, group C had a less severe disease characterized by higher frequencies of synovitis (61% vs. 66% vs. 71%, P=0.032) and lower frequencies of serositis (37% vs. 33% vs. 25%, P=0.002), proteinuria >500mg/day (48% vs. 45% vs. 36%, P=0.002) and low complement levels (81% vs. 81% vs. 71%, P<0.0001) compared with groups A or B. Conclusions Our large Brazilian multicenter study demonstrated that for most childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus patients, diagnosis is delayed probably due to mild disease onset. Conversely, the minority has a very short time interval to diagnosis and a presentation with a more severe and active multisystemic condition.
