RESUMO

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a novel post-infectious disease occurring in the context of SARS-CoV2 infection. COVID-19 vaccines have been authorized since December 2020, and adverse events including myocarditis have been reported following vaccination. We describe the cases of two pediatric patients presenting with clinical and laboratory features suggestive of MIS-C a few days after receiving their first dose of the Pfizer BNT162b2 vaccine. The outcome was favorable for both patients (after corticosteroid and immunoglobulin administration for one patient). These cases suggest an association between the COVID-19 vaccine and the occurrence of MIS-C.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Thiopurines represent an effective and widely prescribed therapy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Concerns about toxicity, mainly resulting from a wide inter-individual variability in thiopurine metabolism, restrict their use. Optimal thiopurine dosing is challenging for preventing adverse drug reactions and improving clinical response. AIM: To review efficacy and toxicity of thiopurines in IBD. To provide pharmacogenetic-based therapeutic recommendations. METHODS: We conducted a query on PubMed database using 'inflammatory bowel disease', 'thiopurine', 'azathioprine', '6-mercaptopurine', 'TPMT', 'pharmacogenetics', 'TDM', and selected relevant articles, especially clinical studies. RESULTS: Thiopurine metabolism - key enzyme: thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) - modulates clinical response, as it results in production of the pharmacologically active and toxic metabolites, the thioguanine nucleotides (6-TGN). Adjusting dosage according to TPMT status and/or metabolite blood levels is recommended for optimising thiopurine therapy (e.g. improving response rate up to 30% or decreasing haematological adverse events of 25%). Other enzymes or transporters of interest, as inosine triphosphatase (ITPase), glutathione S-transferase (GST), xanthine oxidase (XO), aldehyde oxidase (AOX), methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and ATP-binding cassette sub-family C member 4 (ABCC4) are reviewed and discussed for clinical relevance. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the literature data, we provide a therapeutic algorithm for thiopurines therapy with starting dose recommendations depending on TPMT status and thereafter dose adjustments according to five metabolite profiles identified with therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). This algorithm allows a dosage individualisation to optimise the management of patients under thiopurine. Furthermore, identification of new pharmacogenetic biomarkers is promising for ensuring maximal therapeutic response to thiopurines with a minimisation of the risk for adverse events.
