Recommendations for evaluation and diagnosis of extra-glandular manifestations of primary sjogren syndrome: results of an epidemiologic systematic review/meta-analysis and a consensus guideline from the Brazilian Society of Rheumatology (articular, pulmonary and renal). Adv Rheumatol 2022; 62:18. [PMID: 35650656 DOI: 10.1186/s42358-022-00248-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2021] [Accepted: 05/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Sjogren's Syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands and other organs, associated with sicca syndrome but also with systemic involvement with varying degrees of severity. Despite their importance, these systemic manifestations are not routinely evaluated and there is no homogenous approach to their diagnosis or evaluation. To close this gap, a panel of experts from the Brazilian Society of Rheumatology conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the identification of epidemiologic and clinical features of these manifestations and made recommendations based on the findings. Agreement between the experts was achieved using the Delphi method. The first part of this guideline summarizes the most important topics, and 11 recommendations are provided for the articular, pulmonary, and renal care of SS patients.

Abstract
The therapy of inflammatory bowel disease, particularly with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers, may be associated with a number of cutaneous adverse effects, including psoriasis-like, eczema-like, and lichenoid eruptions. Other rare skin complications are neutrophilic dermatoses such as amicrobial pustulosis of the folds (APF), which is a chronic relapsing pustular disorder classified in this spectrum.The authors analyzed clinical, histopathologic, and cytokine expression profiles of 3 inflammatory bowel disease patients with APF triggered by adalimumab (patient 1) and infliximab (patients 2 and 3).All 3 patients presented with sterile pustules involving the cutaneous folds, genital regions, and scalp 6 months after starting adalimumab (patient 1) and 9 months after starting infliximab (patients 2 and 3). Histology was characterized by epidermal spongiform pustules with a dermal neutrophilic and lymphocytic infiltrate. Tumor necrosis factor blocker withdrawal associated with topical and systemic corticosteroids induced complete remission of APF in all 3 patients. The expressions of interleukin (IL)-1 beta and its receptors as well as TNF alpha and its receptors were significantly higher in APF than in controls. Also IL-17, leukocyte selectin, and chemokines, such as IL-8, [C-X-C motif] chemokine ligand 1/2/3 (C = cysteine, X = any amino acid), [C-X-C motif] chemokine ligand 16 (C = cysteine, X = any amino acid), and RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted) were significantly overexpressed. Finally, the authors found significant overexpression of both metalloproteinases 2/9 and their inhibitors 1/2.The observation of 3 patients with APF following anti-TNF therapy expands not only the clinical context of APF but also the spectrum of anti-TNF side effects. Overexpression of cytokines/chemokines and molecules amplifying the inflammatory network supports the view that APF is autoinflammatory in origin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To reach a European consensus on the definition and characterization of the main organ-specific extraglandular manifestations in primary SS. METHODS The EULAR-SS Task Force Group steering committee agreed to approach SS-related systemic involvement according to the EULAR SS Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) classification and proposed the preparation of four separate manuscripts: articular, cutaneous, pulmonary and renal ESSDAI involvement; muscular, peripheral nervous system, CNS and haematological ESSDAI involvement; organs not included in the ESSDAI classification; and lymphoproliferative disease. Currently available evidence was obtained by a systematic literature review focused on SS-related systemic features. RESULTS The following information was summarized for articular, cutaneous, pulmonary and renal involvement: a clear, consensual definition of the clinical feature, a brief epidemiological description including an estimate of the prevalence reported in the main clinical series and a brief list of the key clinical and diagnostic features that could help physicians clearly identify these features. Unfortunately we found that the body of evidence relied predominantly on information retrieved from individual cases, and the scientific information provided was heterogeneous. The analysis of types of involvement was biased due to the unbalanced reporting of severe cases over non-severe cases, although the main sources of bias were the heterogeneous definitions of organ involvement (or even the lack of definition in some studies) and the heterogeneous diagnostic approach used in studies to investigate involvment of each organ. CONCLUSION The proposals included in this article are a first step to developing an optimal diagnostic approach to systemic involvement in primary SS and may pave the way for further development of evidence-based diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines.

Abstract
Amicrobial pustulosis associated with autoimmune disease (APAD) is a rare clinical condition, characterized by relapsing pustular eruption, affecting mainly the skin folds. Almost all previously described cases were young women with varying underlying autoimmune diseases. We report a 36-year-old woman with the interesting triad of APAD, Sjögren syndrome and IgA nephropathy. Her rashes responded to oral prednisolone and cyclophosphamide.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Amicrobial pustulosis of the skin folds represents a new entity within the spectrum of neutrophilic dermatoses. This disease is characterized by acute onset of pustular lesions in the skin folds, association with an autoimmune disorder, and improvement under systemic corticosteroids. OBSERVATION A 24-year-old woman had been presenting pustular dermatosis for several months involving the inguinal folds and the scalp. The pustules coalesced to form oozing and crusting plaques. Eczematous lesions were located on the trunk. She also presented macrocytic anemia related to autoimmune erythroblastopenia. Bacteriological culture was negative. Antinuclear antibodies were found with anti-SSA specificity. Histopathological examination of a skin biopsy specimen showed pustules in the epidermis together with an inflammatory dermal infiltrate. Cutaneous direct immunofluorescence testing was negative. The patient responded to systemic corticosteroids. DISCUSSION Thirty-six cases of amicrobial pustulosis of the skin folds have been reported in the literature. All but two previously reported patients were females with an autoimmune disorder (chiefly systemic lupus erythematosus). The clinical picture is characterized by aseptic pustular lesions of the major and minor skin folds of the scalp and the anogenital area associated with eczematous lesions. Diagnostic criteria have recently been proposed. This disease responds to systemic corticosteroids. We report a new case of amicrobial pustulosis of the skin folds associated with autoimmune erythroblastopenia, which to the best of our knowledge has been described only once in the literature.

Abstract
Concurrent glomeruli and liver involvement in patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) has seldom been reported. Meanwhile, IgA nephropathy (IgAN) associated with SS is not as common as other types of glomerulonephritis, such as membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) and membranous nephropathy (MN). Two patients with SS and IgAN are presented. Case 1 was diagnosed as SS complicated with IgAN (Haas subclass III) and severe AIH, while case 2 was diagnosed as SS and IgAN (Haas subclass I) with serious tubulointerstitial lesions. The true prevalence of IgAN secondary to SS is certainly underestimated and the crucial pathogenetic factors may be polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia and hypocomplementemia (especially C4). The frequent presence of multiple immunoglobulin and complement deposition in glomeruli, especially weak deposits of C4 and (or) C1q, is an immunofluorescence staining feature of IgAN secondary to SS and may be associated with disease severity and activity.
