Abstract

Objectives To characterize the phenotypic presentation at diagnosis of childhood-onset primary SS. Methods The Big Data Sjögren Project Consortium is an international, multicentre registry using worldwide data-sharing cooperative merging of pre-existing clinical SS databases from the five continents. For this study, we selected those patients in whom the disease was diagnosed below the age of 19 years according to the fulfilment of the 2002/2016 classification criteria. Results Among the 12 083 patients included in the Sjögren Big Data Registry, 158 (1.3%) patients had a childhood-onset diagnosis (136 girls, mean age of 14.2 years): 126 (80%) reported dry mouth, 111 (70%) dry eyes, 52 (33%) parotid enlargement, 118/122 (97%) positive minor salivary gland biopsy and 60/64 (94%) abnormal salivary US study, 140/155 (90%) positive ANA, 138/156 (89%) anti-Ro/La antibodies and 86/142 (68%) positive RF. The systemic EULAR Sjögren’s syndrome disease activity index (ESSDAI) domains containing the highest frequencies of active patients included the glandular (47%), articular (26%) and lymphadenopathy (25%) domains. Patients with childhood-onset primary SS showed the highest mean ESSDAI score and the highest frequencies of systemic disease in 5 (constitutional, lymphadenopathy, glandular, cutaneous and haematological) of the 12 ESSDAI domains, and the lowest frequencies in 4 (articular, pulmonary, peripheral nerve and CNS) in comparison with patients with adult-onset disease. Conclusions Childhood-onset primary SS involves around 1% of patients with primary SS, with a clinical phenotype dominated by sicca features, parotid enlargement and systemic disease. Age at diagnosis plays a key role in modulating the phenotypic expression of the disease.

Abstract

Objectives. To study the clinical spectrum and evolution of Churg-Strauss syndrome in order to assess the clinicopathological features of the disease, the response to treatment and the long-term outcome.
Methods. Thirty-two patients with proven allergic and granulomatous angiitis (Churg-Strauss syndrome) and followed up at a single institution were evaluated. They were recruited between 1977 and 1999 from internal medicine departments. Data were obtained retrospectively from medical files in 15 cases and prospectively, using a standardized form, for the remaining patients.
Results. All patients had asthma and hypereosinophilia. The lungs, skin and peripheral nervous system were the organs most frequently involved. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies with antimyeloperoxidase specificity (MPO-ANCA) were detected in 77.8% of tested patients but they were not useful for monitoring disease activity. Extravascular granulomas were rarely seen in tissue biopsies. Forty per cent of the patients were treated with steroids alone. Immunosuppressive agents were added to the treatment when severe neurological, cardiac or gastrointestinal involvement was present. The outcome and long-term survival were good. Clinical relapse was rare after the first year of therapy. Dysaesthesiae of the distal limbs, neurophatic pain and cardiac failure were the most frequent sequelae.
Conclusions. Churg-Strauss syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by hypereosinophilia and systemic vasculitis occurring in patients with asthma and allergic rhinitis. Vasculitis commonly affects the lungs, skin and peripheral nervous system. Outcome and long-term survival is usually good with steroids alone or in combination with immunosuppressive agents. The syndrome has a low mortality rate compared with other systemic vasculitides.
