ABSTRACT
Background: Drug-induced hepatitis (DIH) is a side effect of the usage of anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs, which can cause alteration in treatment regiments and prolonged treatment. This study aim is to identify the risk factors that can be used to predict the occurrenceof DIH on tuberculosis (TB) patients.Methods: This was a case-control study, conducted at Sanglah central general hospital in Denpasar from January to June 2021. Data collection was carried out through the medical records of inpatients and outpatients who received fixed-dose combination anti-TB drug.Results: There were 62 research samples which were divided into 31 samples in the case group and 31 samples in the control group. The clinical manifestations of DIH were vomiting (32.8%), nausea (15.7%), abdominal pain (13.1%), and hepatic encephalopathy (1.3%). Median time to onset of DIH was 18 (Interquartile range: 19) days. Low BMI was a significant risk factor for DIH (AOR=22.4; 95%CI 4.147-121.575; p<0.001). Other clinical characteristic variables such as age, female, extrapulmonary TB, positive HIV status, diabetes mellitus, hypoalbuminemia, and eosinophilia were not proven risk factors for DIH-TB.Conclusions: Low BMI was a significant risk factor for DIH. Other variables such as age, female, extrapulmonary TB, positive HIV status, diabetes mellitus, hypoalbuminemia, and eosinophilia were not risk factors for DIH in TBpatients
ABSTRACT
INTRODUÇÃO: O vírus linfotrópico das células T humano tipo 1 (HTLV-1) é endêmico na Bahia e está associado com doenças graves, como a Paraparesia Espástica Tropical/Mielopatia associada ao HTLV-1 (HAM/TSP) e a Dermatite Infecciosa associada ao HTLV-1 (DIH). Escassos trabalhos tem sido reportados com a avaliação de citocinas e quimiocinas em indivíduos jovens infectados pelo HTLV-1 e não existem dados sobre a manifestação simultânea DIH e HAM/TSP na faixa infanto-juvenil. OBJETIVO: Avaliar as concentrações plasmáticas de citocinas e quimiocinas na infecção pelo HTLV-1 em indivíduos infanto-juvenis. MÉTODO: Foram incluídos 61 indivíduos portadores do HTLV-1 distribuídos nos grupos Portadores assintomáticos, pacientes com a DIH, pacientes com DIH/HAM/TSP, pacientes com a HAM/TSP e 20 indivíduos saudáveis sem a infecção pelo HTLV-1, todos na faixa infanto-juvenil. As concentrações plasmáticas foram comparadas através do método de Elisa e de Cytometric Bead Array (CBA)...
INTRODUCTION: The lymphotropic virus of cells T human type 1 (HTLV ) is endemic in Bahia and it is associated with serious diseases such as Tropical Spastic Paraparesis/associated myelopathy with HTLV-1 and Infectious Dermatitis associated with HTLV -1 (IDH). Very little work has been reported with the evaluation of cytokines and chemokines in the IDH and there has been no data on the manifestation simultaneous IDH and HAM/TSP in children and youth range. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the plasma concentrations of cytokines and chemokines in HTLV-1 infection in children and young individuals. METHOD: We included 61 individuals HTLV-1 spread in groups Asymptomatic Carriers, patients with IDH, patients with IDH/HAM/TSP, patients with HAM/TSP and 20 healthy individuals without HTLV-1, all in children's range. Plasma concentrations were compared using the ELISA method and Cytometric Bead Array (CBA)...

A dermatite infecciosa associada ao vírus linfotrópico de células T humanas tipo 1 (HTLV-1), DIH, é uma forma de eczema grave e recidivante que incide principalmente em crianças que em geral foram verticalmente infectadas pelo HTLV-1, ocorrendo lesões eritematosas, escamativas e crostosas, sendo geralmente localizadas nas regiões do couro cabeludo e retroauriculares, assim como pescoço, virilha, região paranasal, axilas, ouvido externo e narinas. Inicia-se após os 18 meses de vida e raramente persiste até a vida adulta. No Brasil, muitos casos têm sido diagnosticados na Bahia, estado brasileiro que atualmente conta com a maior casuística da literatura depois da Jamaica. Acompanhando uma coorte de 31 pacientes da faixa etária infanto-juvenil com DIH em Salvador, observou-se em esfregaço do sangue periférico, em 11 dos indivíduos, o aparecimento de linfócitos atípicos (LA) e/ou células em flor (CF), que não são comumente observados em pacientes com DIH, mas ocorrem com frequência em pacientes com leucemia/linfoma de células T do adulto (ATL). Submetemos amostras dos 31 pacientes a reações em cadeia da polimerase (PCR)...
Infective dermatitis associated with human T lymphotropic cells virus type 1 (HTLV-1), IDH, is a form of severe and recurrent dermatitis that occurs mostly in children who were mainly vertically infected with HTLV-1, occurring erythematous, desquamative and crusty, being generally located in regions of the scalp and retroauricular, neck, groin, paranasal region, armpits, outer ear and nostrils. It begins after 18 months of life and rarely persists into adulthood. In Brazil, several cases have been diagnosed in Bahia, the Brazilian state that currently has the highest incidence after Jamaica. Tracking a cohort of 31 patients in the juvenile age group with IDH in Salvador, we observed the appearance of atypical lymphocytes (AL) and/or flower cells (FC), which are not commonly observed in patients with IDH, but occur frequently in patients with adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL), in peripheral blood smear in 11 of the subjects. Samples of 31 patients underwent tests of PCR...
