RESUMO

Interstitial lung disorders are a group of respiratory diseases characterized by interstitial compartment infiltration, varying degrees of infiltration, and fibrosis, with or without small airway involvement. Although some are idiopathic (e.g., idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, and sarcoidosis), the great majority have an underlying etiology, such as systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease (SARD, also called Connective Tissue Diseases or CTD), inhalational exposure to organic matter, medications, and rarely, genetic disorders. This review focuses on diagnostic approaches in interstitial lung diseases associated with SARDs. To make an accurate diagnosis, a multidisciplinary, personalized approach is required, with input from various specialties, including pulmonary, rheumatology, radiology, and pathology, to reach a consensus. In a minority of patients, a definitive diagnosis cannot be established. Their clinical presentations and prognosis can be variable even within subsets of SARDs.

RESUMO

Rationale: In addition to rare genetic variants and the MUC5B locus, common genetic variants contribute to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) risk. The predictive power of common variants outside the MUC5B locus for IPF and interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) is unknown. Objectives: We tested the predictive value of IPF polygenic risk scores (PRSs) with and without the MUC5B region on IPF, ILA, and ILA progression. Methods: We developed PRSs that included (PRS-M5B) and excluded (PRS-NO-M5B) the MUC5B region (500-kb window around rs35705950-T) using an IPF genome-wide association study. We assessed PRS associations with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) metrics for IPF, ILA, and ILA progression. Measurements and Main Results: We included 14,650 participants (1,970 IPF; 1,068 ILA) from six multi-ancestry population-based and case-control cohorts. In cases excluded from genome-wide association study, the PRS-M5B (odds ratio [OR] per SD of the score, 3.1; P = 7.1 × 10-95) and PRS-NO-M5B (OR per SD, 2.8; P = 2.5 × 10-87) were associated with IPF. Participants in the top PRS-NO-M5B quintile had ∼sevenfold odds for IPF compared with those in the first quintile. A clinical model predicted IPF (AUC, 0.61); rs35705950-T and PRS-NO-M5B demonstrated higher AUCs (0.73 and 0.7, respectively), and adding both genetic predictors to a clinical model yielded the highest performance (AUC, 0.81). The PRS-NO-M5B was associated with ILA (OR, 1.25) and ILA progression (OR, 1.16) in European ancestry participants. Conclusions: A common genetic variant risk score complements the MUC5B variant to identify individuals at high risk of interstitial lung abnormalities and pulmonary fibrosis.

RESUMO

With the previous worldwide initial coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a notable rise in spontaneous pneumomediastinum with/without pneumothorax (SPP) has been noted. Most cases were initially reported as complications secondary to barotrauma from mechanical ventilation (MV) with COVID-19. However, with the Delta strain, starting from December 2020, there have been multiple reports of SPP. The SPP is an uncommon complication outside use of assisted ventilation with either noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) or MV. COVID-19 has been linked to higher incidence of SPP without use of NIPPV or MV. We present a series of 5 cases with a polymerase chain reaction-confirmed COVID-19 diagnostic testing whose hospital course was complicated by SPP unrelated to the use of either NIPPV or MV.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common extra-muscular manifestation of antisynthetase (AS) syndrome. ILD prevalence is higher with anti-Jo-1 antibody positivity. Data on long-term outcomes in these patients are lacking. METHODS: Over 15 years, we identified subjects with anti-Jo-1 positive AS syndrome and ILD. Demographics, pulmonary function testing (PFT), high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), histopathology, and long-term survival were analyzed. RESULTS: We identified 103 subjects (mean age 49.2 years, female predominance [70%]). The predominant myopathy was polymyositis (64%) followed by dermatomyositis (24%). In approximately half of studied subjects, AS syndrome and ILD were diagnosed within 6 months of each other. The majority had restriction on PFTs (98%). Non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) was the most common HRCT pattern (52%), followed by NSIP overlapping with organizing pneumonia (OP) (22%). Thirty-nine subjects had biopsy data. Ten-year survival was 68%. Multivariable analysis adjusted for age at ILD diagnosis, gender, FVC and DLCO, revealed that male gender (HR = 2.60, p = 0.04) and DLCO at presentation (HR = 0.94, p = 0.05) significantly predicted mortality. CONCLUSIONS: We present a large cohort of anti-Jo-1 positive AS syndrome with ILD and note good overall survival.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Amyloid-associated cystic lung disease is rare. It can be associated with collagen vascular disease (CVD). We aimed to describe the clinical, radiology, and pathology findings of this entity. METHODS: We reviewed the records of subjects having biopsy-proven pulmonary amyloidosis with cystic lung disease demonstrated at high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). Demographic characteristics, association with CVD and lymphoproliferative disorders, pulmonary function, and pathology results were reviewed. HRCT appearance was analyzed for number, size, distribution, and morphology of cysts and nodules. RESULTS: Twenty-one subjects (13 female, eight male; median age, 61 years) with cystic pulmonary amyloidosis were identified. The most common pulmonary function patterns were normal (42%) and obstructive (32%). The most common associated CVD was Sjögren syndrome (10 of 12). Nine subjects had no CVD. Cysts tended to be multiple (≥ 10 in 14 of 21, 67%), round (21 of 21, 100%), or lobulated (20 of 21, 95%); thin-walled (< 2 mm in 17 of 21, 81%); and of small (< 1 cm in 21 of 21, 100%) to moderate (1-2 cm in 17 of 21, 81%) size. Peribronchovascular (19 of 21, 90%) and subpleural (19 of 21, 90%) cysts were typically present. Seventeen (81%) subjects had lung nodules, which tended to be numerous (≥ 10 in 10 of 17, 59%; 4-9 in six of 17, 35%). At least one calcified nodule was present in 14 of 17 subjects (82%). Pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALToma) was diagnosed in seven subjects (33%). CONCLUSIONS: Amyloid-associated cystic lung disease can occur with or without underlying CVD. Cystic lesions in the lung are commonly numerous, often are peribronchovascular or subpleural, and are frequently associated with nodular lesions that are often calcified. MALToma was a relatively frequent association.

RESUMO

Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder commonly found in individuals of Puerto Rican ancestry. We present 2 cases of familial pulmonary fibrosis in 2 Mexican sisters with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Pulmonary fibrosis was biopsy-proven in 1 of the patients. This report shows that Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome may occur in individuals of Mexican ancestry.

RESUMO

Local and systemic complications following injected silicone have been described, especially after cosmetic procedures by unlicensed practitioners. We report a retrospective case series of acute pneumonitis following silicone injection to the buttock. Medical records, pulmonary function tests, blood arterial gases, chest radiographs, and high-resolution computed tomography scans were reviewed. Five patients with acute pneumonitis after injected silicone were identified. All cases were men with a mean age was 25 years. Three patients had the procedure performed by the same practitioner. The amount of injected silicone ranged from 30 to 500 ml. The onset of clinical symptoms began as early as 24 h after injection to as late as 15 days. All cases had diffuse, peripheral, occasionally wedge-shaped opacities on high-resolution computed tomography. At presentation the mean oxygen saturation was 84%. All were treated with steroids and had clinical resolution of their illness within 1 month of presentation. Injection of silicone can lead to serious pulmonary complications but treatment with steroids seems to be beneficial.

RESUMO

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is a lung inflammatory disease caused by the inhalation of a variety of antigens. Previous studies support the role of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II genes in the susceptibility to develop HP. However, the putative role of other MHC loci has not been elucidated. Transporters associated with antigen processing (TAP) genes are located within the MHC class II region and play an important role transporting peptides across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane for MHC class I molecules assembly. The distribution of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TAP1 genes was analyzed in 73 hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) patients and 58 normal subjects. We found a significant association of the allele Gly-637 (GGC) (p=0.00004, OR=27.30, CI=3.87-548.04) and the genotypes Asp-637/Gly-637 (p=0.01, OR=16.0, CI=2.19-631.21), Pro-661/Pro-661 (p=0.006, OR=11.30, CI=2.28-75.77) with HP. A significant decrease in the frequency of the allele Pro-661 (CCA) (p=0.008, OR=0.06, CI=0-0.45), the genotype Asp-637/Asp-637 (p=0.01, OR=0.17, 95% CI=0.05-0.58) and the haplotype [Val-333 (GTC), Val-458 (GTG), Gly-637 (GGC), Pro-661 (CCA)] was detected in HP patients compared with controls (p=0.002, OR=0.07, CI=0.0-0.57). These findings suggest that TAP1 gene polymorphisms are related to HP risk, and highlight the importance of the MHC in the development of this disease.

RESUMO

RATIONALE: Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) exhibits a diverse outcome. Patients with acute/subacute HP usually improve, whereas patients with chronic disease often progress to fibrosis. However, the mechanisms underlying this difference are unknown. OBJECTIVES: To examine the T-cell profile from patients with subacute HP and chronic HP. METHODS: T cells were obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage from 25 patients with subacute HP, 30 patients with chronic HP, and 8 control subjects. T-cell phenotype and functional profile were evaluated by flow cytometry, cytometric bead array, and immunohistochemistry. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Patients with chronic HP showed higher CD4+:CD8+ ratio (median, 3.05; range, 0.3-15; subacute HP: median, 1.3; range, 0.1-10; control: median, 1.3; range, 0.7-2.0; P < 0.01), and a decrease of gammadeltaT cells (median, 2.0; range, 0.5-3.4; subacute HP: median, 10; range, 4.8-17; control: median, 15; range, 5-19; P < 0.01). Patients with chronic HP exhibited an increase in the terminally differentiated memory CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell subsets compared with patients with subacute HP (P < 0.05). However, memory cells from chronic HP showed lower IFN-gamma production and decreased cytotoxic activity by CD8+ T lymphocytes. Chronic HP displayed a Th2-like phenotype with increased CXCR4 expression (median, 6%; range, 1.7-36, vs. control subjects: median, 0.7%; range, 0.2-1.4; and subacute HP: median, 2.2%; range, 0.1-5.3; P < 0.01), and decreased CXCR3 expression (median, 4.3%; range, 1.4-25%, vs. subacute HP: median, 37%; range, 4.9-78%; P < 0.01). Likewise, supernatants from antigen-specific-stimulated cells from chronic HP produced higher levels of IL-4 (80 +/- 63 pg/ml vs. 25 +/- 7 pg/ml; P < 0.01), and lower levels of IFN-gamma (3,818 +/- 1671 pg/ml vs. 100 +/- 61 pg/ml; P < 0.01) compared with subacute HP. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that patients with chronic HP lose effector T-cell function and exhibit skewing toward Th2 activity, which may be implicated in the fibrotic response that characterizes this clinical form.

RESUMO

Up to 80% of patients with scleroderma have lung disease, with interstitial lung disease (ILD) being the most common manifestation. Currently, there is no definitive therapy for this condition. The objective of the study is to investigate the use of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) to treat scleroderma interstitial ILD. We report a retrospective chart review of 17 patients with scleroderma ILD treated with MMF (2g/day) for at least 12 months. Demographics, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) findings, pulmonary physiology and high-resolution computed tomography were recorded at baseline and after 12 and 24 months of therapy. Baseline BAL (n=12) showed alveolitis (median of 18% neutrophils). Ninety-four percent of subjects had either improved or stable lung function after 12 months of treatment: four improved, 12 were stable and only one worsened. All patients had radiographic abnormalities consistent with ILD. After 12 months of therapy, radiological findings (n=15) were stable in 11 patients, worse in three, and improved in one. There were no side effects attributable to MMF therapy recorded. Treatment of patients with scleroderma ILD for up to 24 months with MMF was generally associated with stable pulmonary function. These data argue for a prospective trial using MMF to treat scleroderma ILD.
