RESUMO

PURPOSE: We aimed to describe the clinical, immunological, and genetic features of patients with DOCK8 deficiency (DOCK8-Def) in a tertiary care center for children. METHODS: Retrospective chart review of patients' clinical, immunological, and genetic characteristics with DOCK8-Def. Genetic analysis was performed with targeted- or whole-exome sequencing; we also assessed DOCK8 protein expression and a lymphoproliferation assay and analyzed survival by the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: We described 11 patients from 8 unrelated kindreds. The median age at symptoms' onset was 10 months (range 1-54 months). The median follow-up time was 53.4 months (4.8-118.8). All patients presented eczema and recurrent sinopulmonary and cutaneous infections. Besides those symptoms, the most frequent manifestations were bronchiectases (8/11), food allergies (6/11), and severe infections (6/11). Infrequent characteristics were detection of CMV in bronchial lavage, C. parvum-driven sclerosing cholangitis, Takayasu vasculitis, neurological syndromes, pulmonary tuberculosis, and lymphomatoid granulomatosis. CONCLUSION: DOCK8-Def has a broad spectrum of manifestations, including allergy, autoimmunity, inflammation, infection, and cancer. The hallmark of this inborn error of immunity is IEI-associated eczema with eosinophilia and increased IgE. Here, we report six new mutations causing human DOCK8 deficiency and symptoms previously unrecognized to occur in DOCK8-Def. Therefore, an early diagnosis of DOCK8-Def is essential to facilitate an adequate treatment such as HSCT.

RESUMO

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a heterogeneous group of arthritis of autoimmune aetiology. Systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (soJIA) presents with fever, transient erythematous rash, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, and serositis. SoJIA presents multiple complications, and the most severe is the macrophage activation syndrome (MAS); the timely treatment of MAS must be established early and aggressively to avoid a fatal outcome. Therapeutic plasma exchange has anecdotally been used in refractory cases. A 66-month-old male with a 1-year illness characterized by evening-predominant, intermittent fever, adenomegalies, urticarial-like rash, arthralgia, and arthritis. Biochemical analysis revealed anaemia, leukocytosis, neutrophilia, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperferritinemia, and hypofibrinogenemia; bone marrow aspirate showed hemophagocytosis. He was diagnosed with SoJIA complicated with MAS. He received multiple treatments with IV human gammaglobulin, cyclosporine, dexamethasone, and tocilizumab without improvement. Plasma replacement treatment was performed. Afterwards, he presented significant improvement. After 3-year-follow-up, he remains in good general condition. We present a refractory case of soJIA complicated with MAS successfully treated with plasma exchange.

RESUMO

Combinedimmunodeficiency (CID) due to DOCK8 deficiency is an inborn error of immunity (IBD) characterized by dysfunctional T and B lymphocytes; The spectrum of manifestations includes allergy, autoimmunity, inflammation, predisposition to cancer, and recurrent infections. DOCK8 deficiency can be distinguished from other CIDs or within the spectrum of hyper-IgE syndromes by exhibiting profound susceptibility to viral skin infections, associated skin cancers, and severe food allergies. The 9p24.3 subtelomeric locus where DOCK8 is located includes numerous repetitive sequence elements that predispose to the generation of large germline deletions and recombination-mediated somatic DNA repair. Residual production DOCK8 protein contributes to the variable phenotype of the disease. Severe viral skin infections and varicella-zoster virus (VZV)-associated vasculopathy, reflect an essential role of the DOCK8 protein, which is required to maintain lymphocyte integrity as cells migrate through the tissues. Loss of DOCK8 causes immune deficiencies through other mechanisms, including a cell survival defect. In addition, there are alterations in the response of dendritic cells, which explains susceptibility to virus infection and regulatory T lymphocytes that could help explain autoimmunity in patients. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative treatment; it improves eczema, allergies, and susceptibility to infections.


Lainmunodeficiencia combinada (IDC) por deficiencia de DOCK8 es un error innato de la inmunidad, caracterizado por alteración en linfocitos T y B; el espectro de manifestaciones incluye alergia, autoinmunidad, inflamación, predisposición a cáncer e infecciones recurrentes. La deficiencia de DOCK8 se puede distinguir de otras IDC o dentro del espectro de síndromes de hiper-IgE porque presenta una profunda susceptibilidad a las infecciones virales de la piel, con cánceres de piel asociados y alergias alimentarias graves. El locus subtelomérico 9p24.3, donde se ubica DOCK8, incluye numerosos elementos repetitivos de secuencia que predisponen a la generación de grandes deleciones de la línea germinal, así como a la reparación del ADN somático, mediada por recombinación. La producción residual de la proteína DOCK8 contribuye al fenotipo variable de la enfermedad. Las infecciones virales graves de la piel y la vasculopatía asociada a virus de la varicela zóster (VVZ) reflejan una función importante de la proteína DOCK8, que normalmente se requiere para mantener la integridad de los linfocitos a medida que las células migran a través de tejidos. La pérdida de DOCK8 provoca deficiencias inmunitarias a través de otros mecanismos, incluido un defecto de supervivencia celular. Existen alteraciones en la respuesta de las células dendríticas, lo que explica la susceptibilidad a infección por virus, así como en los linfocitos T reguladores que podrían ayudar a explicar la autoinmunidad en los pacientes. El trasplante de células hematopoyéticas pluripotenciales es por el momento el único tratamiento curativo, mejora el eccema, la alergia y la susceptibilidad a infecciones.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Lung cancer is one the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Symptomatic manifestations of the disease generally occur in the advanced-stage setting, and therefore an important number of patients have advanced or metastatic disease by the time they are diagnosed. This situation contributes to a poor prognosis in the treatment of lung cancer. Evidencebased clinical recommendations are of great value to support decision-making for daily practice, and thus improving health care quality and patient outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This document was an initiative of the Mexican Society of Oncology (SMEO) in collaboration with Mexican Center of Clinical Excellence (Cenetec) according to Interna- tional Standards. Such standards included those described by the IOM, NICE, SIGN and GI-N. An interdisciplinary Guideline Development Group (GDG) was put together which included medical oncologists, surgical oncologistsc, radiation therapists, and methodologists with expertise in critical appraisal, sys- tematic reviews and clinical practice guidelines development. RESULTS: 62 clinical questions were agreed among members of the GDG. With the evidence identified from systematic reviews, the GDG developed clinical recommendations using a Modified Delphi Panel technique. Patients' representatives validated them. CONCLUSIONS: These Clinical Practice Guideline aims to support the shared decision-making process for patients with different stages of non-small cell lung cancer. Our goal is to improve health-care quality on these patients.


OBJETIVO: El cáncer de pulmón es una de las principales causas de mortalidad alrededor del mundo. Su historia natural, con la manifestación de síntomas en etapas avanzadas y el retraso en su diagnóstico hacen que una gran proporción de pacientes se diagnostiquen en estadios tardíos de la enfermedad, lo que hace muy complicado el tratamiento exitoso de la misma. De esto deriva la importancia de dar origen a recomendaciones basadas en evidencia para soportar la toma de decisiones clínicas por parte de los grupos interdisicplinarios que se encargan del manejo de este padecimiento. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Este documento se desarrolló por parte de la Sociedad Mexicana de Oncología en colaboración con el Centro Nacional de Excelencia Tec- nológica de México (Cenetec) a través de la dirección de integración de Guías de Práctica Clínica en cumplimiento a estándares internacionales como los descritos por el Ins- tituto de Medicina de EUA (IOM, por sus siglas en inglés), el Instituto de Excelencia Clínica de Gran Bretaña (NICE, por sus siglas en inglés), la Red Colegiada para el Desarrollo de Guías de Escocia (SIGN, por sus siglas en inglés), la Red Internacional de Guías (G-I-N, por sus siglas en inglés); entre otros. Se integró en representación de la Sociedad Mexicana de Oncología un Grupo de Desarrollo de la Guía (GDG) de manera interdisciplinaria, considerando oncólogos médicos, cirujanos oncólogos, cirujanos de tórax, radio-oncólogos, y metodólogos con experiencia en revisiones sistemáticas de la literatura y guías de práctica clínica. RESULTADOS: Se consensuaron 62 preguntas cllínicas que abarcaron lo establecido previamente por el GDG en el documento de alcances de la Guía. Se identificó la evidencia científica que responde a cada una de estas preguntas clínicas y se evaluó críticamente la misma, antes de ser incorporada en el cuerpo de evidencia de la Guía. El GDG acordó mediante la técnica de consenso formal de expertos Panel Delphi la redacción final de las recomendaciones clínicas. C. CONCLUSIONES: Esta Guía de Práctica Clínica pretende proveer recomendaciones clínicas para el manejo de los distintos estadios de la enfermedad y que asistan en el proceso de toma de decisiones compartida. El GDG espera que esta guía contribuya a mejorar la calidad de la atención clínica en las pacientes con cáncer de pulmón de células no pequeñas.
