Alguns evidenciam a provável relação causal com o trabalho; outros alertam para a necessidade de repetição do teste quando ocorrem múltiplas reações, principalmente nas demandas trabalhistas. O objetivo foi analisar o perfil clínico-epidemiológico e os resultados dos testes de contato dos pacientes com suspeita de dermatite alérgica de contato ocupacional atendidos no Ambulatório de Medicina do Trabalho da Universidade Estadual de Campinas. Foi realizado um estudo descritivo transversal retrospectivo com pacientes atendidos entre 1 de janeiro de 1999 e 31 de dezembro de 2008, envolvendo as seguintes variáveis: idade, cor, sexo, ocupação, tempo na ocupação, agente referido como sensibilizante, local inicial do eczema, origem do encaminhamento, resultados dos testes de contato e nexo causal. Foram analisados 180 prontuários e os resultados mostraram que o perfil clínicoepidemiológico foi semelhante àqueles referidos na literatura, mas os índices desensibilização foram proporcionalmente maiores: 85% dos pacientes tiveram pelo menos uma reação positiva no primeiro teste de contato, a média de reações positivas por teste foi 3,38 e 68% dos testes positivos apresentaram mais de duas reações positivas. Os elevados índices de sensibilização e a existência simultânea de múltiplas reações na maioria dos pacientes podem ser explicados por condições predisponentes para polissensibilização - dermatite nas mãos cronificadas por repetidas exposições ocupacionais - e/ou pela interpretação de reações irritativas como reações positivas. Foi sugerida, então, uma Ficha de Coleta de Dados, a ser preenchida durante as avaliações clínicas e a repetição dos testes de contato quando ocorrerem mais de 2 reações positivas relevantes a substâncias não correlacionada / Abstract: Several studies describe the clinical and epidemiological profile and the results of patch tests of the targeted population with suspected allergic contact dermatitis. Some evidence the probable causal relationship to work; others warn of the need to repeat tests when multiple reactions occur, especially in the lawsuits. The objetive was to analyze the clinical and epidemiological profile and the results of patch tests of patients with suspected allergic contact dermatitis treated at the Campinas State University's Occupational Medicine Clinic. We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study with patients treated between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 2008 involving the following variables: age, race, sex, occupation, time in occupation, sensitizing agent, eczema locus, referral source, results of patch tests and causal relationship. We analyzed 180 medical records and the results show that clinical and epidemiological profile was similar to those reported in the literature, but the rates of awareness were proportionally larger: 85% of patients had at least one positive reaction in the first patch test, the average of positive reactions per test was 3.38 and 68% dos positive tests had more than two positive reactions. High levels of sensitization and the simultaneous existence of multiple reactions in most patients can be explained by predisposing factors to polysensization - cronic dermatitis on the hands caused by repeated occupational exposure - and/or by the interpretation of irritant reactions as positive reactions. It has been suggested then a sheet data collection to use in the clinic evaluation that includes the repetition of tests when more than 2 relevant positive reactions occurred to substances not correlated / Mestrado / Epidemiologia / Mestre em Saude Coletiva

Kontaktna senzibilizacija kod obolelih od hronične venske insuficijencije / Contact Sensitization in Patients with Chronic Venous Insufficiency

Vujanović Ljuba 07 November 2014 (has links)
<p>Pojava alergijskog kontatnog dermatitisa koji nastaje kao komplikacija tokom lečenja hronične venske insuficijencije je dobro poznata. Cilj istraživanja je bio da se kod obolelih od hronične venske insuficijencije utvrdi učestalost kontaktne senzibilizacije ekcemskog tipa, potom da li postoji rizik za nastanak kontaktne senzibilizacije kao i postojanje korelacije između dužine trajanja bolesti i kontaktne senzibilizacije. Hipoteza rada je da osobe sa hroničnom venskom insuficijencijom značajno če&scaron;će razvijaju kontaktnu senzibilizaciju nego osobe bez hronične venske insuficijencije, da imaju veći rizik za nastanak kontaktne senzibilizacije kao i da je učestalost kontaktne senzibilizacije u pozitivnoj korelaciji sa dužinom trajanja bolesti. Istraživanje je sprovedeno nad 266 ispitanika. Formirane su dve grupe. Eksperimentalnu grupu su činili oboleli od hronične venske insuficijencije upućeni na alergolo&scaron;ko testiranje pod sumnjom na postojanje kontaktnog dermatitisa, a kontrolnu grupu su činili bolesnici bez hronične venske insuficijencije epikutano testirani pod sumnjom na postojanje kontaktnog dermatitisa. Obolelima od hronične venske insuficijencije je procenjena težina bolesti na osnovu CEAP klasifikacije. Potom je svaki ispitanik podvrgnut alergolo&scaron;kom epikutanom testiranju pač testom. Istraživanje je pokazalo da je učestalost kontaktne senzibilizacije među obolelima od hronične venske insuficijencije iznosila 49,3%. Učestalost kontaktne senzibilizacije kod osoba sa hroničnom venskom insuficijencijom na alergene: iz sastava Evropske standardne baterije je iznosila 31,55%; baterije specifične za hroničnu vensku insuficijenciju je iznosila 28,45%; komercijalno dostupne baterije alergena ubikvitarnih korovskih biljaka iz porodice Compositae je iznosila 6,69%; originalno spravljene ekstrakte ubikvitarnih korovskih biljaka Vojvodine je iznosila 6,11%. Ne postoji statistički značajna razlika u odnosu na pol. Prevalencija kontaktne senzibilizacije kod osoba sa hroničnom venskom insuficijencijom se nije statistički značajno razlikovala od osoba koje nisu imale hroničnu vensku insuficijenciju. Pozitivnost epikutanog alergolo&scaron;kog testa kojim se potvrđuje postojanje kontaktne senzibilizacije je bila statistički značajno vi&scaron;a kod osoba sa hroničnom venskom insuficijencijom. Osobe sa hroničnom venskom insuficijencijom su imale 2,45 puta vi&scaron;i rizik za nastajanje kontaktne senzibilizacije na dva i vi&scaron;e alergena, a 3,69 puta vi&scaron;i rizik za nastajanje kontaktne senzibilizacije na pet i vi&scaron;e alergena u odnosu na one bez hronične venske insuficijencije. Učestalost kontaktne senzibilizacije je u pozitivnoj korelaciji sa dužinom trajanja bolesti.</p> / <p>Development of allergic contact dermatitis as a complication of treatment of chronic venous insufficiency is well known. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of eczematous contact sensitization in patients with chronic venous insufficiency, possible risks for the development of contact sensitization, and the correlation between disease duration and contact sensitization. The working hypothesis was that the incidence of contact sensitivity is significantly higher in individuals with chronic venous insufficiency than in those without chronic venous insufficiency, that they are at greater risk of developing contact sensitization, and that there is a positive correlation between the incidence of contact sensitization and the disease duration. The study included 266 patients. They were divided into two groups: the study group included patients with chronic venous insufficiency referred for allergy testing due to suspected contact dermatitis, and the control group included patients without chronic venous insufficiency patch tested for suspected contact dermatitis. The severity of chronic venous insufficiency was assessed by CEAP classification. Thereafter, each patient underwent patch testing. The research has shown that the incidence of contact sensitization among patients with chronic venous insufficiency was 49.3%. In these patients, the incidence of contact sensitization to the European standard battery of allergens was 31.55%; to the battery specific for chronic venous insufficiency it was 28.45%; to commercially available batteries of allergens of ubiquitous plants from the Compositae family it was 6.69%; and to originally prepared extracts of ubiquitous plants found in Vojvodina it was 6.11%. There was no statistically significant difference in relation to sex. The prevalence of contact sensitization in patients with chronic venous insufficiency was not significantly different from those without chronic venous insufficiency. Positive patch test reaction rates, confirming the existence of contact sensitization, were significantly higher in patients with chronic venous insufficiency. Patients with chronic venous insufficiency had a 2.45-fold higher risk for developing contact sensitization to two or more allergens, and a 3.69-fold higher risk for developing contact sensitization to five or more allergens compared to those without chronic venous insufficiency. There was a positive correlation between the incidence of contact sensitization and the duration of the disease.</p>

Avaliação da dermatite de contato alérgica ao níquel através da técnica de  imuno-histoquímica / Evaluation of nickel allergic contact dermatitis using the immunohistochemical technique

Silvestre, Marilene Chaves 22 May 2017 (has links)
A dermatite de contato alérgica (DCA) ao íon níquel (Ni2+) é uma dermatose inflamatória frequente nos países industrializados. Envolve a ativação de células T específicas ao Ni2+, seguida da proliferação e indução de um perfil misto de citocinas, tanto pró-inflamatórias quanto reguladoras, sugerindo que vários subtipos de células T (helper - Th e citotóxica - Tc) estão envolvidos na resposta imune. Este estudo teve como objetivo a análise das citocinas TNF-alfa, INF-y, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17 e IL-23 pela técnica de imuno-histoquímica, para tentar identificar a prevalência de um ou mais subtipos de células T (Th/Tc), nos eczemas crônico e agudo de pacientes com DCA ao Ni2+. Avaliamos 20 pacientes (17 mulheres e 3 homens, com idade mediana de 46 anos) apresentando eczema crônico, pelo contato cotidiano do paciente com o Ni2+. Foram coletadas duas biópsias de pele em cada um dos 20 pacientes, a primeira no local do eczema crônico ao Ni2+, antes da aplicação do teste de contato (TC); e a segunda no local do eczema agudo, provocado pelo TC com o sulfato de níquel, 48 horas após sua fixação, nas leituras positivo forte (++) ou positivo muito forte (+++). Foram 160 amostras de eczema agudo e 160 de eczema crônico, perfazendo um total de 320 amostras. Apenas três amostras foram excluídas devido a algum tipo de falha técnica, como, por exemplo, o descolamento dos cortes de pele da lâmina. Para a análise dos dados utilizou-se o software estatístico STATA versão 13. As amostras coradas revelaram resultados positivos para as oito citocinas estudadas, e estas apresentaram valores heterogêneos. Esta heterogeneidade foi medida pelo coeficiente de variação, indicando a variabilidade do conjunto dos dados obtidos. O TNF-alfa, IFN-y, IL-4, IL-13 e IL-17 tiveram prevalência maior no eczema crônico do que no eczema agudo, a IL-2 e IL-23 apresentaram maior prevalência no eczema agudo, em comparação com o eczema crônico e a IL-10 apresentou prevalência similar tanto no eczema agudo quanto no crônico, porém, estas prevalências foram muito baixas, em ambos os eczemas. O TNF-alfa foi a citocina que mais prevaleceu no eczema crônico e a IL-2 foi a mais prevalente no eczema agudo. Porém, estas prevalências foram estatisticamente significantes apenas para a IL-4 e IL-13. Verificamos, nos eczemas crônico e agudo, a presença de um perfil misto de citocinas dos subtipos de células T (Th/Tc), sugerindo que as respostas imunes são expressas ao mesmo tempo. Entretanto, são necessários mais estudos para uma compreensão mais ampla sobre o perfil das citocinas na DCA ao Ni2+, o que poderia levar a novas abordagens terapêuticas / Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to nickel (Ni+2) is a inflammatory dermatosis, common in industrialized countries. It involves the activation of nickel-specific T cells, followed by the proliferation and induction of a mixed profile of both proinflammatory and regulatory cytokines, suggesting that several T cell subtypes (helper - Th and cytotoxic - Tc) are involved in the immune response. This study aimed to analyze the cytokines TNF-alfa, INF-y, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17 and IL-23 using the immunohistochemistry technique in order to try to identify the prevalence of one or more T cell subtypes (Th/Tc) in the chronic and acute eczema of patients with ACD to Ni+2. We evaluated 20 patients (17 women and 3 men, median age of 46 years) with chronic eczema, by the patient\'s daily contact with Ni+2. Two skin biopsies were collected in each of the 20 patients, the first at the site of the chronic eczema to Ni+2, prior to the application of the contact test (CT); and the second at the site of acute eczema caused by CT with nickel sulphate, 48 hours after its fixation in the strong positive (++) or very strong positive (+++) readings. There were 160 samples of acute eczema and 160 of chronic eczema, a total of 320 samples. Only three samples were excluded due to some kind of technical failure, such as detachment of the skin cuts from the microscope slide. Statistical software STATA version 13 was used to analyze the data. The stained samples showed positive results for the eight cytokines studied, and these presented heterogeneous values. This heterogeneity was measured by the coefficient of variation, indicating the variability of the data set obtained. TNF-alfa, IFN-y, IL-4, IL-13 and IL-17 had a higher prevalence in chronic eczema than in acute eczema, IL-2 and IL-23 were more prevalent in acute eczema compared to chronic eczema and IL-10 presented similar prevalence in both acute and chronic eczema, however, a very low prevalence in both eczema. TNF-alfa was the most prevalent cytokine in chronic eczema and IL-2 was the most prevalent in acute eczema. However, these prevalences were statistically significant only for IL-4 and IL-13. In chronic and acute eczema, we observed the presence of a mixed cytokine profile of the T cell subtypes (Th/Tc), suggesting that immune responses are expressed at the same time. However, further studies are needed for a broader understanding of the cytokine profile in ACD to Ni+2, which could lead to new therapeutic approaches
