ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO:Analisar a relação entre as provas de fase aguda e a atividade clínica da artrite idiopática juvenil e avaliar a concordância entre velocidade de hemossedimentação e proteína C reativa (VHS e PCR) na fase aguda da doença. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado estudo retrospectivo tipo coorte a partir da análise de prontuários de 30 crianças e adolescentes que preenchiam os critérios diagnósticos para artrite idiopática juvenil, estavam em atendimento em ambulatório de Reumatologia Pediátrica e haviam realizado as provas de fase aguda (VHS e PCR). RESULTADOS: Dos 30 pacientes, 21 (70 por cento) eram do sexo feminino e 19 (63,3 por cento) apresentavam o subtipo oligoarticular da doença. A média de idade de início dos sintomas foi 65,6 meses, a idade de diagnóstico de 85,3 e o tempo de evolução, 57,2 meses. As provas de fase aguda mostraram associação positiva com a atividade de doença. A anemia não teve relação com a atividade de doença. A concordância entre as duas provas de fase aguda foi superior a 80 por cento. CONCLUSÕES: As provas de fase aguda mantêm relação positiva com a atividade da doença e o seu uso concomitante aumenta a especificidade.


OBJECTIVE:To analyze the relationship between the acute phase reactants and the disease activity of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) and to evaluate the agreement between erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein during the acute phase of the disease. METHODS: a cohort retrospective study has been conducted based on the analysis of 30 children and adolescents who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of JIA. All of them were in current follow-up at the pediatric rheumatology outpatient clinic and had acute phase reactants blood tests performed. RESULTS: Studied population comprised 30 patients: 21 (70 percent) of them were females and 19 (63.3 percent) presented oligoarticular subtype. The mean age at disease onset was 65.6 months; the age at diagnosis was 85.3 months and the follow-up had 57.2 months of duration. The acute phase reactants showed positive association with the disease activity. Anemia was not associated with disease activity. During the acute phase of the disease, agreement between erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein was greater than 80 percent. CONCLUSIONS: The acute phase reactants have a positive association with the activity of the disease and using both tests simultaneously increases their specificity.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Alertar o pediatra para a presença de lesões aftosas orais e úlceras genitais como manifestação inicial de leucemia. DESCRIÇÃO DE CASO: Menina de dez anos de idade, com quadro de úlceras orais e genitais e hipótese diagnóstica de doença de Behçet. Em virtude de leucopenia, foram realizados mielogramas que, inicialmente, demonstraram se tratar de síndrome mielodisplásica e que, posteriormente, evoluiu para leucemia mielóide aguda. COMENTÁRIOS: Os autores alertam para a raridade da associação e para a ausência na literatura de casos na faixa etária pediátrica.


OBJECTIVE: Increase awareness among pediatricians about the presence of aphtous oral lesions and genital ulcers as an initial manifestation of leukemia. CASE DESCRIPTION: A ten-year-old girl, who presented oral and genital ulcers, with a diagnostic hypothesis of Behcet disease. Due to persistent leucopenia, myelograms were performed and, initially, suggested a myelodysplastic syndrome, which progressed to an acute myeloid leukemia. COMMENTS: The authors would like to alert about the rarity of this association and the absence of similar reported cases in the pediatric literature.
