ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: La púrpura de Henoch-Schönlein (PHS) es una vasculitis sistémica de vasos pequeños. El objetivo fue evaluar el índice de neutrófilos/linfocitos (INL) en sangre y el volumen plaquetario medio (VPM) en la PHS e investigar la relación con el compromiso renal y gastrointestinal.Métodos: Se incluyeron niños con PHS y controles sanos. Se evaluaron concentración de hemoglobina, recuento de leucocitos, recuento de trombocitos, INL, VPM, velocidad de sedimentación globular y proteína C-reactiva.Resultados: El INL fue significativamente mayor en los pacientes con PHS con hemorragia gastrointestinal (p < 0,001). El valor ideal de corte del INL para predecir la hemorragia gastrointestinal fue 2,05, con 93 % de sensibilidad y 62 % de especificidad. El VPM fue significativamente mayor en los pacientes con PHS con compromiso renal (p = 0,027).Conclusiones: El INL en sangre y el VPM podrían ser útiles para identificar el compromiso renal y gastrointestinal en la PHS


Background: Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a systemic small-vessel vasculitis that occurs mainly in children. The aim was to evaluate the blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV) in patients with HSP and to investigate the relationship with gastrointestinal and renal involvement.Methods: Children with HSP and healthy individuals as controls were included. Hemoglobin level, white blood cell count, platelet count, NLR, MPV erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein were evaluated.Results: There were 71 HSP children and 74 controls. NLR was significantly higher in HSP patients with gastrointestinal bleeding than without gastrointestinal bleeding (p < 0,001). The optimal cutoff value of NLR for predicting gastrointestinal bleeding was 2.05, with 93 % sensitivity and 62 % specificity. MPV was significantly higher in HSP patients with renal involvement than without renal involvement (p = 0,027).Conclusions:Blood NLR and MPV may be useful markers to identify gastrointestinal and renal involvement in HSP patients.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La púrpura de Schönlein-Henoch (PSH) es la vasculitis leucocitoclástica de pequeños vasos más común en la infancia. Se caracteriza por púrpura palpable y/o compromiso articular, abdominal o renal. Objetivo: Describir las características epidemiológicas, clínicas, de laboratorio y evolutivas en pacientes con PSH. Población y métodos. Estudio observacional, descriptivo, retrospectivo. Se incluyeron pacientes menores de 15 años durante el período 1/1/2008 al 31/12/2017 que cumplían con los criterios de Ankara para el diagnóstico de PSH. Resultados. Se incluyeron 339 pacientes con PSH; la distribución fue similar en ambos sexos; edad promedio de presentación: 7,02 años (± 3,02). El 78 % presentó forma típica y el 22 %, atípica, con compromiso articular previo a la aparición de la púrpura. Manifestaciones articulares: el 82 %; compromiso abdominal: el 54 %; manifestaciones renales: el 19 %. El 68 % de los pacientes que tuvieron compromiso renal lo manifestaron dentro del primer mes desde el debut. El síntoma más frecuente fue la hematuria aislada y el 22 % de los pacientes con compromiso renal presentó formas moderadas-graves de nefritis. El 15 % de los pacientes presentó recurrencia/s. Conclusión. Las manifestaciones articulares fueron más frecuentes de lo descrito en otras series y el compromiso renal fue menor. Si bien este compromiso suele manifestarse en los primeros meses de evolución, se destaca la necesidad del seguimiento de estos pacientes con controles urinarios y de tensión arterial en la evaluación pediátrica.


Introduction. Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is the most common small vessel leukocytoclastic vasculitis during childhood. It is characterized by palpable purpura and/or joint, abdominal or renal involvement. Objective. To describe the epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, and evolutionary characteristics of patients with HSP. Population and methods. Observational, descriptive, and retrospective study. Patients younger than 15 years who met the Ankara criteria for HSP diagnosis were included in the period between 1/1/2008 and 12/31/2017.Results. A total of 339 patients with HSP were included; the male/female distribution was similar; their average age at onset was 7.02 years (± 3.02). The typical form was observed in 78 % and the atypical form, in 22 %, with joint involvement prior to purpura onset. Joint manifestations: 82 %; abdominal involvement: 54 %; renal manifestations: 19 %. Among patients with renal involvement, 68 % experienced it in the first month after onset. The most common symptom was isolated hematuria, and 22 % of patients with renal involvement had moderate to severe nephritis. Recurrences were observed in 15 % of patients. Conclusion. Joint manifestations were more common than what has been described in other series, whereas renal involvement was less common. Although it usually occurs in the first months of disease onset, it is worth noting that these patients need follow-up with urinary and blood pressure controls as part of their pediatric assessment.

ABSTRACT

El Púrpura de Schönlein-Henoch es la vasculitis sistémica más frecuente de la infancia, caracterizada por el depósito de inmunocomplejos de IgA1 en vasos de pequeño ca-libre. Su tétrada clínica clásica incluye púrpura palpable no trombocitopénico, artritis no erosiva o artralgia, dolor abdominal y compromiso renal. Este último es menos frecuente en niños y es marcador de mal pronóstico. Su diagnóstico se realiza según criterios clínicos, siendo pocas veces necesaria la confirmación histológica, que cons-tituye el gold-standard, con manifestaciones de laboratorio inespecíficas. Se descri-ben variadas complicaciones de distinta severidad, tales como invaginación intestinal, hemorragia digestiva, déficit neurológico, insuficiencia respiratoria, torsión testicular, entre otras. Por esta gran variabilidad clínica constituye un importante diagnóstico diferencial en contextos clínicos altamente prevalentes en pediatría tales como el sín-drome purpúrico y el abdomen agudo. El curso en general es autolimitado y el trata-miento es sintomático una vez que se descartan complicaciones.


Henoch-Schönlein purpura is the most common systemic vasculitis in children, char-acterized by deposition of IgA1-immune-complexes in small-vessels. Its classic clin-ical tetrad includes non-thrombocytopenic palpable purpura, arthritis o arthralgia, abdominal pain and renal involvement. The latter is less frequent in children, but it is a poor prognostic marker. Diagnosis is made through clinical criteria, and in only a few cases a histological confirmation is necessary, which is the gold standard, with unspecific laboratory features. Many complications have been described, such as in-tussusception, gastrointestinal bleeding, neurological deficit, respiratory failure and testicular torsion. Because of its great clinical variability, it constitutes an important differential diagnosis in highly prevalent pediatric clinical scenarios, such as purpuric syndrome and acute abdomen. It is usually self-limited, and its treatment is focused in symptom relief once complications are ruled out.

ABSTRACT

Abstract: The Henoch-Schönlein purpura is the vasculitis associated with deposits of immunoglobulin A in small vessels. Its association with cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies is possible, but rare. This vasculitis is uncommon in adults and the main clinic manifestations are purpuric lesions in lower limbs with gastrointestinal symptoms and renal involvement. The present work describes a rare case of Henoch-Schönlein purpura in an adult with cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: El Púrpura Schõnlein Henoch es una vasculitis sistémica que afecta principalmente a la piel, articulaciones, sistema gastrointestinal y renal. Es una de las vasculitis más comunes en la infancia. El compromiso renal se da en aproximadamente el40 por ciento de los casos, y en la mayoría se presenta con hematuria, sin embargo, también puede manifestarse como proteinuria, síndrome nefrótico y nefrítico. PRESENTACIÓN DEL CASO: Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 6 años que consulta en Servicio de Urgencia por dolor en el tarso del pie izquierdo de 4 días de evolución, sin antecedentes de trauma, acompañándose de dolor en rodilla izquierda con limitación a la movilización, y lesiones purpúricas en extremidades inferiores. Durante la hospitalización, la paciente presentó al inicio presiones arteriales altas y oliguria, manejándose con antihipertensivos, además del inicio del tratamiento con corticoides. Luego de la mejoría del compromiso articular y cutáneo, se evidenció compromiso renal con proteinuria, que al persistir se aumentó las dosis de corticoides, teniendo favorable respuesta al disminuir sus niveles. Al encontrarse en mejores condiciones, se decidió manejo ambulatorio manteniendo tratamiento corticoidal y antihipertensivo, controlándose en Nefrología y Reumatología Infantil. DISCUSIÓN: Se concluye de este trabajo que la corticoterapia y el manejo de la presión arterial fueron pilares fundamentales para el tratamiento en este caso, mejorando su evolución clínica y principalmente la disminución de la proteinuria con el uso de los corticoides, evitando un compromiso mayor a pesar de que no esté comprobado su beneficio en la literatura.


INTRODUCTION: The Henoch Schõnlein Purpura is a systemic vasculitis that mainly affects the skin, joints, gastrointestinal system and renal system. It is one of the most common vasculitis in childhood. Renal involvement occurs in approximately40 percent of cases, and in most cases it occurs with hematuria. However, it may also manifest as proteinuria, nephrotic and nephritic syndrome. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 6-year old patient who consulting in the emergency service for 4 days with pain in left foot tarsal, without a history of trauma, accompanied by pain in left knee with limited mobilization, and purpuric lesions in lower extremities. During hospitalization, the patient presented at the beginning high blood pressure and oliguria, handling itself with antihypertensive, in addition to the initiation of treatment with corticosteroids. After improvement of cutaneus and articular involvement, renal involvement was evident with proteinuria, at persist was increased doses of corticosteroids, with favorable response to decrease levels. Being in better conditions was decided ambulatory management keeping antihypertensive and corticosteroid treatment, controlling in Nephrology and Child Rheumatology. DISCUSSION: It can be concluded from this study that the steroids and blood pressure management were fundamental pillars for the treatment in this case, improving their clinical course and mainly the proteinuria decreased with the use of corticosteroids, preventing a greater commitment although is not verified in the literature their advantage.

ABSTRACT

Acute infant hemorragic edema is a benign condition that affects children between 4 month and 2 years of age. Quick onset inflammatory edema and generalized ring shaped symmetric purpura are characteristic. Histology is of leucocitoclastic vasculitis. Clinical case: 9 month old child with a respiratory tract affection 2 weeks previous, consulting for left leg edema and fever, afterwards cutaneous and enteral mucosa purpura. Discussion: Acute hemorrhagic edema is a benign and self-limited illness. Lhe main differential diagnosis is Schonlein Henoch Purpura, and a careful evaluation and clinical follow-up is neccesary.


Introducción: El Edema Hemorrágico Agudo del Lactante (EHAL) es una condición benigna que afecta a niños entre 4 meses y 2 años, de inicio brusco, con edema inflamatorio y lesiones cutáneas del tipo purpúrico, anulares generalizadas y simétricas. A la histología los hallazgos son compatibles con una vasculitis leucocitoclástica. Caso clínico: Lactante de 9 meses de edad, que cursó con cuadro respiratorio 2 semanas previas y que consulta por aumento de volumen de la extremidad inferior izquierda y fiebre, agregándose en forma progresiva lesiones cutáneas purpúricas, compromiso de mucosas y gastrointestinal. Discusión: El EHAL es una condición benigna y autolimitada, cuyo principal diagnóstico diferencial es Púrpura de Schonlein-Henoch, la cual requiere una cuidadosa evaluación y segumiento clínico.

ABSTRACT

Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (HSP) is the most common vasculitis in children. In the absence of significant renal disease it has an excellent prognosis. In the case described, HSP initially presented together with orchitis. This infrequent event required the exclusion of testicular torsion.


A Púrpura de Henoch-Schönlein é a vasculite mais comum na idade pediátrica, tendo um prognóstico excelente na ausência de doença renal significativa. No caso descrito, a apresentação inicial cursou com orquite, o que não é frequente, obrigando a exclusão de torção testicular.

ABSTRACT

La púrpura de Schõnlein-Henoch es una vasculitis sistémica mediada por inmunoglobulina A, caracterizada clínicamente por púrpura palpable, dolor abdominal, artralgias y hematuria o proteinuria en el laboratorio. La inmunofluorescencia directa de las lesiones cutáneas, así como la del riñón, revelan la presencia de depósitos perivasculares de este anticuerpo, dato de valor para confirmar el diagnóstico. Se presentan cinco pacientes adultos con PSH, insuficiencia renal aguda y neoplasias malignas en tres de ellos.


Henoch-Schönlein Purpura is a systemic vasculitis mediated by Ig A, clinically characterizedby non-thrombocytopenic palpable purpura, abdominal pain, arthritis and proteinuria orhematuria. Histologically, it is characterized by deposition of immunoglobulin A in the skinand kidneys, being these features essential for the diagnosis. We report five adult patientswith Henoch-Schönlein purpura with acute kidney failure, and malignant neoplasms onthree of them.

ABSTRACT

Background & objectives: Cutaneous vasculitis has protean clinical manifestations. It may be idiopathic or associated with a spectrum of conditions such as infections, drugs, etc. Skin is involved in both small vessel vasculitis (SVV) and medium vessel vasculitis (MVV). Overlapping features are seen between SVV and MVV. The histopathological features may not always relate with the clinical lesions. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the aetiological factors and clinicopathological association in patients with cutaneous vasculitis. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, detailed history and clinical examination were done on patients with biopsy proven cutaneous vasculitis. Two skin biopsies were taken from each patient for routine histopathology and direct immunofluorescence. Results: Of the 61 patients studied, hypersensitivity vasculitis (HSV) [23 (37.7%)] and Henoch Schonlein purpura (HSP) [16 (26.2%)] were the two most common forms. Systemic involvement was seen in 32 (52.45%) patients. Drugs were implicated in 12 (19.7%) cases, infections in 7 (11.4%) and connective tissue disorders in 4 (6.5%) cases. Histologically SVV was the most common pattern, seen in all the clinically diagnosed patients with SVV (47), and in 12 of the 14 clinically diagnosed patients with MVV. Direct immunofluorescence showed positivity for at least one immunoreactant in 62 per cent of the patients and the most common deposit was C3 followed by IgG, IgA and IgM. Interpretation & conclusions: Majority of our patients with cutaneous vasculitis were idiopathic. Histologically, SVV was seen in most of our patients. No association was seen between history of drug intake and tissue eosinophilia and also between histologically severe vasculitis and clinical severity. The presence of immunoreactant IgA was not specific for HSP.

ABSTRACT

Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) is common in childhood and often self-limiting. There have been limited studies on elderly-onset HSP nephritis (HSPN). A 76-yr-old man was transferred to our hospital with a 1-month history of oliguria, abdominal pain, edema and palpable purpura in the legs. Three months ago, he was admitted to another hospital with jaundice, and consequently diagnosed with early common bile duct cancer. The patient underwent a Whipple's operation. Antibiotics were administrated because of leakage in the suture from the surgery. However, he showed progressive renal failure with edema and purpura in the legs. Laboratory investigations showed serum creatinine 6.4 mg/dL, 24-hr urine protein 8,141 mg/day, myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (MPO-ANCA) 1:40 and C3 below 64.89 mg/dL. Renal biopsy showed crescentic glomerulonephritis, as well as mesangial and extracapillary Ig A deposition. We started steroid therapy and hemodialysis, but he progressed to end-stage renal failure and he has been under maintenance hemodialysis. We describe elderly onset HSPN with MPO-ANCA can be crescentic glomerulonephritis rapidly progressed to end stage renal failure.

ABSTRACT

There are various etiologies of duodenojejunitis such as Henoch-Schonlein purpura (H-S purpura), vasculitis, Crohn's disease, celiac sprue, ischemia, lymphoma, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, bacteria or parasite infection, radiation, drug induced jejunitis, eosinophilic jejunitis, and toxins. A 31-year-old man presented with left upper quadrant pain. He did not have febrile sense, hematochezia, melena, diarrhea, arthralgia and hematuria. He had neither drug history nor traveling history. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed diffuse mucosal erythema and segmental hemorrhagic erosions on the distal area to the descending portion of the duodenum and proximal jejunum, which were commonly observed in the gastrointestinal involvement of H-S purpura. However, he showed no skin lesions, joint and urologic problems until the discharge. Autoimmune markers such as antinuclear antibody and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody were negative. Celiac and mesenteric angiogram showed no vascular abnormality. After the administration of oral prednisolone 40 mg daily for therapeutic trial, abdominal pain and endoscopic lesions were improved. He experienced relapses of same episode without skin lesions 16 times during follow-up of 8 years, which were also treated with prednisolone. The abdominal computed tomography during the follow-up also showed no significant finding. We report a case of primary recurrent duodenojejunitis similar to the gastrointestinal involvement of H-S purpura without purpura.

ABSTRACT

Los síndromes plurigandulares autoinmunes se definen por la coexistencia de al menos dos insuficiencias glandulares a consecuencia de una pérdida de la inmunotolerancia. Existen 4 tipos, siendo el tipo 2 el más frecuente. Es condición indispensable la presencia de insuficiencia suprarrenal primaria para hacer el diagnóstico de éste último, pudiendo muchas veces ésta preceder a las otras endocrinopatías que lo conforman: enfermedad tiroidea autoinmune y/o diabetes mellitus tipo 1. La insuficiencia suprarrenal primaria se caracteriza por la producción adrenal deficiente de cortisol, mineralocorticoides y andrógenos. Es una enfermedad poco frecuente que se presenta habitualmente en mujeres en edad media, siendo su etiología más prevalente la adrenalitis autoinmune. Se discute el caso de una paciente de 35 años que consulta por híperpigmentación de piel y episodios presincopales como presentación de una Enfermedad de Addison. La paciente presentó además amenorrea de 8 años de evolución y un bocio grado II lo cual nos llevó a plantear que era portadora de un sindrome plurigandular autoinmune tipo 2.

ABSTRACT

La Purpura de Henoch-Schõnlein (PHS) es una vasculitis sistémica de pequeños vasos que afecta piel, articulaciones, tracto gastrointestinal y riñones en diferente grado y variada intensidad. Se presenta con mayor frecuencia en niños por lo que es considerada como la causa mas común de púrpura no trombocitopénica en esa edad, aunque también puede aparecer en edad adulta. Los síntomas así como el compromiso gastrointestinal puede ser variados, aunque se considera que puede ocurrir hasta en el 85% de pacientes. Se describe el caso de un paciente de 12 años de edad con hemorragia digestiva debido a compromiso duodenal asociado a esta afección y evidenciado por endoscopia.


Henoch-Schõnlein purpura (HSP) is a systemic vasculitis of the small vessels of the skin, joints, gastrointestinal tract and kidneys. It is the most common cause of non thrombocytopenic purpura in children, but may also occur in adults. Gastrointestinal symptoms and disease occurs in up to 85% of patients and can be of varying intensity. We report a 12-year-old boy with gastrointestinal bleeding due to duodenal involment associated with this condition evidenced by endoscopy.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La clasificación de las vasculitis primarias es dificultosa y su prevalencia en la edad pediátrica, poco conocida. Objetivo. Determinar la frecuencia, los datos epidemiológicos y las características clínicas de las vasculitis primarias en pacientes pediátricos entre mayo de 2000 y mayo de 2008. Diseño. Estudio observacional, retrospectivo y descriptivo. Materiales y métodos. Revisión de la base de datos de las historias clínicas de vasculitis primarias en pacientes pediátricos de 0 a 16 años que cumplían los criterios de inclusión establecidos. Resultados. Se encontraron 47 pacientes, 29 varones y 18 mujeres. La edad promedio de presentación fue de 4 años (rango: 7 meses a 13 años). La vasculitis más frecuente fue la púrpura de Schõnlein-Henoch, con 33 registros (70%), seguida por la enfermedad de Kawasaki 9 (19%), el edema agudo hemorrágico del lactante 3 (6%), la panarteritis nodosa cutánea 1 (2%) y el síndrome de Churg-Strauss 1 (2%). Conclusión. Las vasculitis primarias son poco frecuentes en la edad pediátrica. La púrpura de Schõnlein-Henoch fue la más frecuente en nuestra población. La enfermedad de Kawasaki fue la vasculitis de mayor morbilidad. El edema agudo hemorrágico del lactante se presentó en niños menores de 2 años, fue menos frecuente y con escasa morbilidad. Pudimos también detectar 2 casos de vasculitis menos frecuentes como la panarteritis nodosa cutánea y el síndrome de Churg-Strauss.


Introduction.The classifi cation of primary vasculitis is diffi cult and the prevalence in childhood is unknown. Objective. To determine the frequency, epidemiological data and the clinical features of the primary vasculitis in pediatric patients seen in our Hospital since May 2000 to may 2008. Design. Observational, retrospective and descriptive study. Materials and methods. We reviewed the data base of medical records of the pediatric patients with primary vasculitis diagnose. We included patients from 0 to 16 years old that met the established inclusion criteria. Results. Forty-seven patients were found, 29 were boys and 18 girls. The average age of onset was 4 years old (range: 7 months to 13 years old). The most frequent vasculitis was the Henoch Schönlein purpura with 33 cases(70%), followed by the Kawasaki disease with 9 patients (19%); the acute hemorrhagic edema of young children with 3 cases (6%) and the cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa and the Churg-Strauss syndrome with 1 case each. Conclusions. Primary vasculitis is not frequent in childhood. The He-noch Schönlein purpura was the most frequent in our patients. The Kawasaki disease was the vasculitis with major morbidity. The acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy was less frequent, showed less morbidity and presented in children younger of two years of age. We had also the opportunity to observed 2 cases of very low-frequency vasculitis such us cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa and Churg-Strauss syndrome.
