O Lúpus Eritematoso Sistêmico (LES) é uma doença inflamatória crônica de origem autoimune que apresenta manifestações clínicas variáveis, sendo progressiva e potencialmente fatal, se não tratado. Os tratamentos padrões incluem antimaláricos, corticosteroides (CS) e imunossupressores. No entanto, apesar do melhor entendimento do processo da doença, ainda há uma necessidade significativa e não atendida de novo tratamento devido ao alto risco continuado de mortalidade e progressão de danos aos órgãos. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi fazer um levantamento bibliográfico acerca dos diferentes tratamentos publicados para o manejo do LES relacionando com a melhora clínica do paciente. Para tanto, utilizou-se as bases de dados Lilacs, SciELO, PubMed e Google Acadêmico e os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS) utilizados foram: “lúpus eritematoso sistêmico”, “terapêutica” e “qualidade de vida”. Os artigos selecionados foram publicados em língua inglesa e portuguesa, entre os anos de 2014 e 2020. As referências encontradas permitiram constatar que os antimaláricos e a infusão de plasma fresco congelado são os recursos terapêuticos com maior eficácia. Além disso, a suplementação com vitamina D apresentou mostrou ter função benéfica sob o quadro clínico de pacientes lúpicos. Outro tratamento efetivo para as lesões dermáticas foi a utilização de laser de corante pulsado. Desse modo, são necessários mais estudos acerca da demonstração da eficácia dos diferentes tratamentos para o LES, a fim de elucidar a eficácia e a segurança das diversas terapias utilizadas.
Introduction: The chromosomal region 15q11-13 contains a group of genes essential for normal neurodevelopment and alterations in this region result in different syndromes. Among the most frequent alterations, there are chromosomal deletions and duplications. Duplications of chromosome region 15q11q13 occur as a supernumerary chromosome 15, and may occur as interstitial duplications. The main clinical manifestations are intellectual impairment, problems with vision, hearing, teething and in bones and joints. Currently, there are few cases reported in the literature about this genetic condition, which justifies the relevance of this study. Objective: To report a case of duplication in the chromosomal region 15q11q13 and describe the clinical manifestations. Methodology: This is a case report of a qualitative nature. Case report: J.V.A.S., male, eight years old, attended at the Associação de Pais e Amigos dos Excepcionais (APAE), in Anápolis, Goiás, Brazil, in 2017, diagnosed with neuropsychomotor developmental delay (ADNPM) and macrocrania. No complications during childbirth. The patient had head support at six months, sat up at nine months, walked and talked at one year and ten months. He attends school and has good interaction, but has learning difficulties. In 2018, the CGH – ARRAY (aCGH) revealed the presence of a duplication in 15q11.2q13.1 of approximately 6.1Mb classified as pathogenic. Results and discussion: Due to the rarity of this syndrome, we did not find a satisfactory number of articles that specifically addressed this duplication. Conclusion: It is necessary to carry out more studies, in the long term and through satisfactory samples, in order to elucidate the main aspects involved in this pathology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
