Tem sido sugerida a utilidade dos corticosteróides no tratamento sintomático da conjuntivite alívio dos sinais e/ou sintomas e prevenção dos infiltrados subepiteliais. Por outro lado, observou-se o relato dos possíveis efeitos colaterais, como o prolongamento da transmissão invitro do vírus e, no âmbito da medicina clínica, ensaios clínicos revelaram a eficácia duvidosa dos colírios de corticosteróides. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar o uso dos corticosteróides tópicos, com quaisquer drogas usadas nos ensaios clínicos com o placebo. Objetivo: Avaliar se os corticosteróides tópicos são eficazes e seguros para o tratamento da ceratoconjuntivite adenoviral para melhorar os sintomas e evitar ou minimizar complicações relacionadas à doença. Desenho: Revisão sistemática. Métodos: Pesquisa documental na Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (que contém o Cochrane Eyes and Vision Group Trials Register), MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, nas listas de referência de relatórios de ensaio identificados e no o Science Citation Index. Foram incluídos ensaios clínicos aleatorizados comparando quaisquer apresentações de corticosteróides tópico com quaisquer outras formas de tratamentos da ceratoconjuntivite adenoviral aguda. Resultados: Foram incluídos ensaios clínicos randomizados onde os corticosteróides tópicos foram comparados com placebo no tratamento da ceratoconjuntivite adenoviral aguda. A busca digital inicial identificou quatro ensaios clínicos comparando corticosteroides e placebo no manejo da ceratoconjuntivite epidêmica somando 243 pacientes. Uma revisão sistemática foi realizada. Conclusão: Nenhum estudo mostrou melhora no alívio dos sinais ou sintomas. A prevenção dos infiltrados subepiteliais permanece controversa, mostrando mais comumente um adiamento na história natural da doença do que uma modificação nela. O uso destes colírios deve ser recomendado com cautela e novos ensaios clínicos são necessários para comprovar sua eficácia / Abstract: Introduction: Topical corticosteroids are commonly used in the treatment of acute viral keratoconjunctivitis. It has been suggested the usefulness of corticosteroids in symptomatic relief of the signs of conjunctivitis and / or symptoms and prevention of subepithelial infiltrates. On the other hand, we observed the reported possible side effects, such as the extension of transmission of the virus in vitro, and beside that, clinical trials showing the effectiveness of corticosteroids eye drops. The aim of this study was to compare the use of topical corticosteroids, with any drugs used in clinical trials with placebo. Objective: To assess whether topical corticosteroids are effective and safe for the treatment of adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis to improve symptoms and prevent or minimize complications related to the disease. Design: Systematic review. Methods: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (which contains the Cochrane Eyes and Vision Group Trials Register), MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed and the reference lists of identified trial reports. We used the Science Citation Index to look for articles that cited the relevant studies. We included masked randomized controlled trials in which any form of topical corticosteroid treatment had been compared with placebo in the management of acute adenoviral ceroconjuctivitis. Results: Were included randomized controlled trials in which any form of topical corticosteroid treatment had been compared with placebo in the management of acute adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis. The initial digital search identified 4 clinical trials comparing corticosteroids and placebo in the management of Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis totaling 243 patients. A narrative review was conducted. Conclusion: No study has shown improvement in relief of the signs or symptoms. Prevention of subepithelial infiltrates remains controversial, most commonly showing a delay in the natural history of disease than a change in it. The use of eye drops should be recommended with caution and new clinical trials are needed to prove its effectiveness / Mestrado / Oftalmologia / Mestre em Ciências Médicas

L’allogreffe de cellules souches hématopoïétiques (CSH) est un des seuls traitements curatifs des hémopathies bénignes ou malignes et des déficits immunitaires primitifs. Cependant, les infections notamment virales ainsi que la réaction du greffon contre l’hôte comptent parmi les complications les plus fréquentes des allogreffes associées à une morbidité et une mortalité élevées. Les infections virales surviennent souvent en l’absence de reconstitution immunitaire spécifique dans un contexte d’immunosuppression liée à la GVHD elle-même ou à la prophylaxie ou au traitement de la GVHD. Les traitements médicamenteux anti-viraux préconisés présentent une efficacité inconstante dans ce contexte d’immunodéficience et ne sont pas dénués de toxicité. L’alternative thérapeutique prometteuse est l’immunothérapie adoptive cellulaire notamment celle qui consiste en l’injection de lymphocytes T spécifiques anti-viraux isolés par technique immunomagnétique (VSTs). Cependant, ces lymphocytes T peuvent être la cible des traitements immunosuppresseurs administrés pour la GVHD mais également par eux-mêmes être potentiellement la cause de la survenue ou de la réactivation d’une GVHD. Nous avons montré dans ce travail que l’efficacité des VSTs, qui repose sur leur expansion in vivo lors de la rencontre avec le virus circulant, est principalement permise par les sous-populations lymphocytaires les plus immatures, même si elles ne sont présentes qu’en faible proportion. Nous défendons dans ce travail le fait que l’efficacité des VST ainsi que leur persistance repose prioritairement sur la présence des sous-populations lymphocytaires T les plus immatures et ce quel que soit le degré de compatibilité HLA entre les VSTs et le receveur. De plus, leur sensibilité modérée aux corticoïdes, que nous avons étudiée in vitro, ne justifie pas la modulation de l’immunosuppression lors de l’injection des ADV-VSTs, comme observé in vivo dans le protocole clinique multicentrique de phase I/II que nous avons mené entre 2012 et 2015. En effet, ce protocole clinique ne rapporte aucune GVHD de novo après injection d’ADV-VSTs ; en revanche, la modulation de l’immunosuppression peut potentiellement être incriminée dans la réactivation de GVHD dans les semaines suivant l’injection des ADV-VSTs. La réalisation d’un essai comparatif de phase II permettra de prouver très clairement le rôle des VSTs dans la réactivation de GVHD. / Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is one of the only curative treatments for benign or malignant hematological diseases and primary immune deficiencies. However, viral infections and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) are among the most frequent complications after HSCT associated with high morbidity and mortality. Viral infections often occur in the absence of specific immune reconstitution in the context of immunosuppression related to GVHD itself or to the prophylaxis or treatment of GVHD. The recommended anti-viral drug treatments have an inconsistent efficacy in this context of immunodeficiency and are not devoid of toxicity. The promising therapeutic alternative is adoptive immunotherapy, in particular the infusion of specific anti-viral T lymphocytes isolated by immunomagnetic technique (VSTs). However, these T lymphocytes may be targeted by immunosuppressive treatments administered for GVHD, but also may be the cause of the onset or reactivation of GVHD. We have shown in this work that the efficacy of VSTs, which is based on their in vivo expansion when they encounter the circulating virus, is mainly allowed by the most immature lymphocyte subpopulations, even in a small proportion. We argue in this work that the efficacy of VSTs and their persistence is mainly based on the presence of the most immature T lymphocyte subpopulations and this regardless of the degree of HLA compatibility between the VSTs and the recipient. Moreover, their moderate sensitivity to corticosteroids, which we have studied in vitro, does not justify the modulation of immunosuppression at the time of infusion of ADV-VSTs, as observed in vivo in the multicenter phase I / II clinical trial we conducted between 2012 and 2015. Indeed, this clinical trial does not report any de novo GVHD after ADV-VSTs infusion. On the other hand, modulation of immunosuppression may potentially be incriminated in the reactivation of GVHD within weeks of ADV-VST infusion. A Phase II comparative trial will bring the evidence of efficacy and will clearly determine the role of VSTs in the reactivation of GVHD
