ABSTRACT

Background:

Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is one of the most severe forms of primary immunodeficiency. The objectives of this study were to analyze the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of SCID in Brazil and to document the impact of BCG vaccine.

Methods:

We actively searched for cases by contacting all Brazilian referral centers.

Results:

We contacted 23 centers and 70 patients from 65 families. Patients were born between 1996 and 2011, and 49 (70%) were male. More than half (39) of the diagnoses were made after 2006. Mean age at diagnosis declined from 9.7 to 6.1 months ( P= .058) before and after 2000, respectively, and mean delay in diagnosis decreased from 7.9 to 4.2 months ( P= .009). Most patients (60/70) were vaccinated with BCG before the diagnosis, 39 of 60 (65%) had complications related to BCG vaccine, and the complication was disseminated in 29 of 39 (74.3%). Less than half of the patients (30, 42.9%) underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Half of the patients died (35, 50%), and 23 of these patients had not undergone HSCT. Disseminated BCG was the cause of death, either alone or in association with other causes, in 9 of 31 cases (29%, no data for 4 cases).

Conclusions:

In Brazil, diagnosis of SCID has improved over the last decade, both in terms of the number of cases and age at diagnosis, although a much higher number of cases had been expected. Mortality is higher than in developed countries. Complications of BCG vaccine are an important warning sign for the presence of SCID and account for significant morbidity during disease progression (AU)
RESUMEN
Antecedentes La inmunodeficiencia severa combinada (IDSC) es una de las formas más graves de la inmunodeficiencia primaria. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el estado del diagnóstico, tratamiento y pronóstico de esta enfermedad en Brasil y documentar el impacto de la vacunación con BCG (bacillus Calmette-Guérin).

Métodos:

Los casos fueron seleccionados tras contactar con los centros de referencia de Brasil.

Resultados:

Se contactaron 23 centros en total, que permitieron recopilar a 70 pacientes entre los años 1996 y 2011 procedentes de 65 familias, 49 de ellos (70%) varones. En más de la mitad de ellos (39), el diagnóstico fue realizado con posteriridad al año 2006. La edad media en el diagnóstico varió entre los 9,7 a los 6,1 meses (p=0.058), antes y después del año 2000, respectivamente, y el tiempo en que se realizó el diagnóstico disminuyó de los 7,9 a los 4,2 meses (p=0.009). La mayoría de ellos (60/70) se habían vacunado con BCG antes del diagnóstico, 39/60 (65%) tuvieron complicaciones con la BCG y en 29/39 (74.3%) la enfermedad se diseminó. En menos de la mitad de los pacientes (30/70, 42,9%) se realizó un trasplate de células madre (HSCT). La mitad de los pacientes (35/70, 50%) murieron; 23/35 de ellos sin HSCT. La diseminación del BCG fue la causa de la muerte, sola o asociada con otras causas, en 9/31 casos (29%, en 4 casos sin datos).

Conclusiones:

En conclusión, el diagnóstico de IDSC en Brasil ha mejorado en la última década, tanto en términos numéricos, cómo respecto a la edad de detección de la enfermedad. La mortalidad es alta en comparación con los países desarrollados. La vacuna con BCG provoca complicaciones importantes en estos pacientes, lo cual alerta sobre el posible diagnóstico y progresión de esta enfermedad (AU)
