ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Describir y comparar las manifestaciones clínicas en pacientes adultos diagnosticados con Síndrome de Sjögren primario (SSp) a edad menor o igual a 35 años versus mayores a 35 años. Materiales y métodos: Se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 18 años de edad, con diagnóstico de SSp de acuerdo a los criterios de clasificación ACR - EULAR 2002/2016, registrados en la base de datos GESSAR (Grupo de Estudio Síndrome de Sjögren Sociedad Argentina de Reumatología). Resultados: Se incluyeron 665 pacientes. Cien (15,04%) con edad al diagnóstico ≤ 35 años, 92% mujeres. El promedio de edad del grupo > 35 años, fue de 54 + 11 años, 96% mujeres. Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre < 35 años vs > 35 años, en xeroftalmia (90,72% vs 95,64%, p: 0,04) y xerodermia (42,35% vs 57,36%, p: 0,03) y en los siguientes dominios del ESSDAI (EULAR Activity Index for primary Sjögren's syndrome): sistema nervioso periférico (4,05 vs 11,32, p: 0,03), respiratorio (6% vs 15,40%, p: 0,01) y renal (6% vs 1,59%, p: 0,02). Conclusión: Nuestro estudio sugiere un menor compromiso glandular en pacientes con SSp diagnosticados a menor edad, sin un patrón diferencial característico en cuanto al compromiso sistémico.


Objective: To describe and compare the clinical manifestations, in adult patients diagnosed with primary Sjögren's Syndrome at age less than or equal to 35 years versus those over 35 years of age. Materials and Methods: We analyzed the data of patients older than 18 years, with diagnosis of primary Sjögren's syndrome (American - European criteria 2002), included in the GESSAR database (Sjögren Syndrome Study Group of the Argentine Society of Rheumatology). Results: 665 patients were included. One hundred of them with an age at diagnosis less than or equal to 35 years and with a mean age at diagnosis of 29 + 4 years, 92% of them women. The average age at diagnosis of the group over 35 years was 54 + 11 years, 96% women. Statistically significant differences were found between less than or equal to 35 years vs over 35 years, in xerophthalmia (90.72% vs 95.64%, p: 0.04) and xeroderma (42.35% vs 57.36% , p: 0.03), and in the following domains of ESSDAI (EULAR Activity Index for primary Sjögren's syndrome): peripheral nervous system (4.05 vs 11.32, p: 0.03), respiratory (6% vs 15.40%, p: 0.01) and renal (6% vs 1.59%, p: 0.02). Conclusion: Our study suggests less glandular involvement in patients with pSS diagnosed at a younger age, without a characteristic differential pattern regarding systemic involvement.

ABSTRACT

Las Miopatías Inflamatorias Autoinmunes (MI) comprenden un grupo de enfermedades heterogéneas con presentación y características clínicas variables. Se distinguen subtipos clínicos como Polimiositis (PM), Dermatomiositis (DM), Miositis por cuerpos de Inclusión (MCI), Miopatía Necrotizante Inmunomediada (MNIM), Miositis de los Síndromes de Superposición, formas juveniles de MI (DMJ), Síndrome Antisintetasa (SAS) y Miopatía Asociada a Cáncer (MAC). La presencia de anticuerpos séricos y el infiltrado inflamatorio en la biopsia de músculo sugiere que se trata de una condición autoinmune. Realizar el diagnóstico de las MI suele ser un desafío y las herramientas diagnósticas no siempre están disponibles en la práctica diaria. Se obtuvo información sobre la disponibilidad de estos métodos del Registro Argentino de Miopatías Inflamatorias. El estudio de enzimas musculares, Anticuerpos Antinucleares (ANA), anticuerpo anti-Jo-1 y la tomografía computada de tórax, estuvieron disponibles para la mayoría de los pacientes mientras que la Resonancia Magnética de musculo (RM), el estudio de difusión de monóxido de carbono (DLco) y la biopsia muscular se realizaron en menos del 50% de los casos. La determinación de otros anticuerpos específicos de miositis, de importancia en el diagnóstico y pronóstico de la enfermedad se realizó, en mayor parte, a través de un subsidio de la SAR.


The Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies (IIM) comprise a heterogeneous group of acquired muscle diseases classified as polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM), Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM), Immuno Mediated Necrotizing Myopathies (IMNM), Overlap Myositis (OM), juvenile myositis, Antisynthethase Syndrome (ASS) and cancer related myositis (CAM). The presence of myositis specific antibodies in the serum and autoantibodies against target antigens and inflammatory infiltrates in muscle tissue suggests the autoimmune condition of the disease. The diagnosis of inflammatory myopathies is often a challenge and the disposal of diagnostic tools are not always available in daily practice. Information on the accessibility of these methods was obtained from the Argentine Register of Myopathies. The study of muscle enzymes, ANA, anti-Jo-1 antibodies and chest tomography were easy to get to most patients while muscle MRI, lung diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLco) and muscle biopsy were performed in less than 50% of cases. Other myositis specific antibodies, necessary for disease diagnosis and prognosis, were mostly done through a subsidy from the Argentine Rheumatology Society.

ABSTRACT

Palindromic rheumatism is characterized by multiple recurrent episodes of arthritis and periarthritis (mono or oligoarticular) that may last hours or days, disappearing without sequels. We report a 69-year-old male with a history of hypertension and a presumptive diagnosis of gout due to recurrent episodes of arthritis and periarthritis in the last thirty years. They involved at least two joints, lasted few days and were self limited. The patient was admitted due to arthritis and periarthritis of both wrists, knees, ankles, elbows and hands. He presented with fever (38-39º C), intense articular pain and anorexia. With a presumptive diagnosis of palindromic rheumatism and the lack of response to non steroidal anti infammatory drugs, methylprednisolone 20 mg/od per os was started, with an excellent response.
