ABSTRACT

Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disease, characterized by the presence of hyposalivation and xerophthalmia, which in addition to other factors is diagnosed by the presence of rheumatoid factor in blood. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the presence of rheumatoid factor (IgG-IgM) in the saliva of patients with primary and secondary Sjögren's syndrome. Materials and methods: Forty samples from patients with primary and secondary Sjögren's syndrome previously diagnosed by the Arthritis and Rheumatism Specialist Center of the Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon were analyzed. Samples were taken from the saliva using the Carlson-Crittenden device to evaluate the IgG-IgM immunocomplex using the ELISA method. Results: No significant difference was found between the presence of IgM in primary (0.099±0.016) and secondary Sjögren syndrome (0.098±0.017), however, a high presence of IgG was found in the group of patients with secondary Sjögren's syndrome (0.134±0.054). Conclusion: The search for diagnostic tools using salivary biomarkers has come with economic and clinical advantages, however, in the present study no significant changes were found in salivary rheumatoid factor between both groups.


El síndrome de Sjögren es una enfermedad autoinmune crónica, caracterizada por la presencia de hiposalivación y xeroftalmia, la cual además de otros factores es diagnosticada por la presencia del factor reumatoide en sangre. El objetivo del presente estudio es evaluar la presencia del factor reumatoide (IgG-IgM) en saliva parotídea de pacientes con síndrome de Sjögren primario y secundario. Materiales y métodos: Se analizaron 40 muestras de pacientes con síndrome de Sjögren primario y secundario previamente diagnosticados por el Centro de Especialistas en Artritis y Reumatismo de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, a los cuales se les tomó una muestra de saliva parotídea mediante el dispositivo Carlson-Crittenden para evaluar mediante el método ELISA el inmunocomplejo IgG-IgM. Resultados: No se encontró diferencia significativa entre la presencia de IgM en el síndrome de Sjögren primario (0.099±0.016) y secundario (0,098±0,017), sin embargo en cuanto a la presencia de la IgG se encontró elevada en el grupo de pacientes con síndrome de Sjögren secundario (0,134±0,054). Conclusión: La búsqueda de herramientas diagnósticas mediante biomarcadores salivales ha traído consigo ventajas económicas y clínicas, sin embargo en el presente estudio no se encontró un cambio significativo en el factor reumatoide salival entre ambos grupos.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of sicca symptoms, dry eye, and secondary Sjögren's syndrome and to evaluate the severity of dry eye in patients with mixed connective tissue disease. METHODS: In total, 44 consecutive patients with mixed connective tissue disease (Kasukawa's criteria) and 41 healthy controls underwent Schirmer's test, a tear film breakup time test, and ocular surface staining to investigate dry eye. In addition, the dry eye severity was graded. Ocular and oral symptoms were assessed using a structured questionnaire. Salivary gland scintigraphy was performed in all patients. Classification of secondary Sjögren's syndrome was assessed according to the American-European Consensus Group criteria. RESULTS: The patients and controls had comparable ages (44.7±12.4 vs. 47.2±12.2 years) and frequencies of female gender (93 vs. 95%) and Caucasian ethnicity (71.4 vs. 85%). Ocular symptoms (47.7 vs. 24.4%) and oral symptoms (52.3 vs. 9.7%) were significantly more frequent in patients than in controls. Fourteen (31.8%) patients fulfilled Sjögren's syndrome criteria, seven of whom (50%) did not have this diagnosis prior to study inclusion. A further comparison of patients with mixed connective tissue disease with or without Sjögren's syndrome revealed that the former presented significantly lower frequencies of polyarthritis and cutaneous involvement than did the patients without Sjögren's syndrome. Moderate to severe dry eye was found in 13 of 14 patients with mixed connective tissue disease and Sjögren's syndrome (92.8%). CONCLUSIONS: Sjögren's syndrome, particularly with moderate to severe dry eye, is frequent in patients with mixed connective tissue disease. These findings alert the physician regarding the importance of the appropriate diagnosis of this syndrome in such patients. .

ABSTRACT

El síndrome de Sjögren es una inflamación crónica de las glándulas salivales y lagrimales, las que presentan una infiltración linfoplasmocitaria. Clínicamente se manifiesta por xeroftalmia y xerostomía. Se reconocen formas primarias y secundarias asociadas a algunas mesenquimopatías (lupus, esclerosis sistémica o artritis reumatoídea). Además del compromiso de las glándulas lagrimales y salivales, la afección tiene manifestaciones sistémicas especialmente pulmonares, renales y articulares. El diagnóstico es clínico y se confirma mediante sialografía parotídea, ecotomografía, cintigrafía salival y biopsia. El tratamiento es básicamente sintomático y está dirigido a disminuir la sequedad ocular y bucal

ABSTRACT

Background: Salivary gland scintigraphy allows a non invasive, morphological and functional assessment of parotid and submaxillary salivary glands. Aim: To describe the main features of salivary gland scintigraphy in patients with Sjögren syndrome, rheumatic fibromyalgia and normal controls and compare the results with lip biopsy. Patients and methods: Sixty one normal controls, 66 patients with Sjögren syndrome and 18 patients with rheumatic fibromyalgia were studied. For the diagnosis of Sjögren syndrome and fibromyalgia rheumatica, the Modified European and American College of Rheumatology criteria were used, respectively. Lip biopsies were obtained in 52 patients with Sjögren syndrome. Scintigraphy was done with a gamma camera and computer after the administration of 99mTc-pertechnetate, obtaining images during 30 min and creating time/activity curves. Scintigraphy was classified as normal, with mild or severe alterations. Results: Scintigraphy was normal in 74 percent of control subjects and in 26 percent, it had mild alterations. In 72 percent of patients with rheumatic fibromyalgia, scintigraphy was normal whereas in 28 percent, it had mild alterations. In 27 percent of patients with Sjögren syndrome, scintigraphy was normal, in 27 percent it had mild alterations and in 46 percent, severe alterations. There was a positive and significant correlation between pathological alterations of salivary glands and scintigraphic alterations (r=0.642, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Severe scintigraphic alterations of salivary glands strongly support the diagnosis of Sjögren syndrome. Mild alterations are non specific and anormal scintigraphy does not exclude the diagnosis

ABSTRACT

El objetivo del presente estudio fue conocer si el síndrome de Sjögren presenta una mayor prevalencia en los pacientes con diabetes mellitus que la población general. Se realizó un estudio prospectivo, ciego simple, comparativo en 50 pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo I, 50 pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo II y 50 sujetos control a los que se le diagnosticó síndrome de Sjögren definitivo o probable en base a criterios universalmente aceptados. Los pacientes con síndrome de Sjögren definitivo y probable en el grupo con diabetes mellitos tipo I fueron cinco, en el tipo II y en los controles dos sujetos, sin existir diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre ellos (x2=1.53, p=NS). Se puede concluir que la prevalencia del síndrome de Sjögren en los pacientes con diabetes mellitus no es mayor que en la población general

ABSTRACT

Las manifestaciones orales del síndrome de Sjögren son precoces y concomitantes con los signos y síntomas oculares permitiendo llegar a diagnóstico clínico previo se desencadene la sintomatología clásica de la enfermedad. Este diagnóstico clínico siempre deberá ser confirmado con el diagnóstico anatomopatológico. El dentista está en condiciones de reconocer y diagnosticar un síndrome de Sjögren por estas tempranas manifestaciones. El médico necesita estar en antecedentes de las mismas para así adelantarse a los hechos e instituir la terapia apropiada. El tratamiento dentario del portador de la enfermedad, dados los adelantos técnicos actuales, será predominantemente conservador y no como antaño, mutilador

ABSTRACT

Se estudian dos casos de Síndrome de Sjögren (SS) que se asocian al componente monoclonal (IgG Kappa y Lambda) describiendo especialmente la presentación con vasculitis a repetición del primero y el agrandamiento de glándulas salivales en el segundo. Ambos no cubren criterios para enfermedad alguna del colágeno ni se confirma la existencia de proceso linfoproliferativo maligno hasta la fecha. Se delimitan dos subsets en SS con distinta orientación evolutiva y se discute el significado de la aparición en sangre periférica de una paraproteína como estado pre-linfomatoso a veces de duración indefinida, siendo considerada la glándula salivar el primer sitio de transformación maligna

ABSTRACT

Se presneta un caso de Síndrome de Sjögren primario de aproximadamente 10 años de evolución por historia clínica, que se confirma por estudio anatomopatológico de las glándulas salivales menores, y el desarrollo de un linfoma primario de pulmón demostrado por estudios anatomopatológicos convencionales. Desde el punto de vista histoquímico se trata de una proliferación maligna de células B, lo que confirma su origen en el tejido linfoide asociado a las mucosas (MALT), cuya localización más frecuente es en estómago, pero también puede verse en el pulmón, dependiente del tejido linfoide asociado a la mucosa bronquial (BALT)
