Excellent Clinical Outcome

We report the case of a 56-year-old male patient, who over two decades, sequentially presented with a combination of clinical manifestations. These included thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), right leg deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and eventually constitutional symptoms, arthralgia, diffuse lymphadenopathy, pancytopenia, skin rash, pericarditis, and glomerulonephritis. Serologic tests and renal pathology uncovered a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and immunosuppressive therapy was initiated. Soon after, the patient developed striking cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia, requiring prolonged antiviral therapy and reduction of immunosuppression. Finally, an acute embolic stroke complicated the disease course. Prompt interventions allowed an excellent clinical outcome.

To reveal the clinical significance of criteria and non-criteria antiphospholipid antibodies detected by line immunoassay in comparison with ELISA, systemic lupus erythematosus patients with and without thrombotic events were investigated. Thus, 107 systemic lupus erythematosus patients (48% with deep vein thrombosis or/and arterial thrombosis) and 120 healthy donors were enrolled. Serum antiphospholipid antibodies were detected by ELISA (Orgentec Diagnostika, Germany) and line immunoassay (GA Generic Assays, Germany). Lupus anticoagulant and IgG to cardiolipin and β2GPI but not IgM as well as triple positivity by ELISA and line immunoassay were linked with thrombosis in systemic lupus erythematosus. IgG to phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylserine by line immunoassay showed significantly higher levels in systemic lupus erythematosus with deep vein thrombosis/arterial thrombosis than without and were independent risk factors for deep vein thrombosis (odds ratio 3.9, 95% confidence interval 1.1, 13.2) and arterial thrombosis (odds ratio 5.1, 95% confidence interval 1.3, 19.8) as well as thrombosis (odds ratio 3.6, 95% confidence interval 1.1, 11.3) and recurrence thereof (odds ratio 6.9, 95% confidence interval 2.1, 22.6), respectively. The occurrence of >4 IgG antiphospholipid antibodies by line immunoassay was an independent risk factor for thrombosis (odds ratio 10.9, 95% confidence interval 1.2, 101.5), arterial thrombosis (odds ratio 14.6, 95% confidence interval 2.5, 86.3), deep vein thrombosis (odds ratio 5.8, 95% confidence interval 1.0, 32.4) and recurrence of thrombosis (odds ratio 35.9, 95% confidence interval 3.8, 342.8). Line immunoassay is a promising multiplex test for the simultaneous detection of criteria and non-criteria antiphospholipid antibodies. Profiling of antiphospholipid antibodies by line immunoassay can differentiate systemic lupus erythematosus patients with thrombosis from systemic lupus erythematosus patients without and assess the risk for thrombosis and recurrence thereof.

Pediatric venous thrombosis is associated with a variety of chronic diseases. Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is one of them and is commonly related to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Warfarin is the mainstream of anticoagulation treatment in pediatric APS currently but it needs close monitoring and frequent dose adjustment. New oral anticoagulants (NOAC) is one of the innovative options in recent years but there is a lack of report in secondary prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), especially pediatric APS. Herein we reported the significant therapeutic effect of edoxaban in a 11-year-old girl of newly diagnosed SLE and APS, who had deep vein thrombosis as the initial presentation.

AbstractThrombotic events (TE), including deep vein thrombosis, stroke, and myocardial infarction, occur in 30–40% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality. We explored the risk factors for TE in SLE patients. We analyzed data obtained during a prospective cohort based on the KORean lupus NETwork (KORNET) registry, and enrolled 259 SLE patients with clinical data available at the onset of SLE. TE was defined as the presence of arterial or venous thrombosis. Multivariate Cox-proportional hazards analysis was performed to investigate risk factors for TE. During a mean follow-up of 103.3 months (SD 53.4), 27 patients (10.4%) had a TE. In multivariate analysis, hypertension (hazard ratio [HR] 7.805, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.929–31.581; P = 0.004), anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS) (HR 12.600, 95% CI: 4.305–36.292; P < 0.001), mean daily prednisolone > 5 mg/day (HR 3.666, 95% CI: 1.318–10.197; P = 0.013), and SLICC/ACR Damage Index (SDI) score (HR 1.992, 95% CI: 1.465–2.709; P < 0.001) were significantly associated with the development of TE in SLE patients. Instead, use of an ACEi or ARB (HR 0.159, 95% CI: 0.043–0.594; P = 0.006) was a protective factor against TE development in these patients. In conclusion, hypertension, higher mean daily dose of prednisolone, diagnosis of APS, and higher SDI were risk factors for TE in patients with SLE. On the other hand, the use of an ACEi or ARB was associated with a reduced risk of TE.
