We compared histological and clinical profiles of primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) small fiber neuropathy (SFN; pSS-SFN) with idiopathic SFN (i-SFN) and hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis SFN (hATTR-SFN) and described the evolution of pSS-SFN.
All patients with pSS-SFN, i-SFN, and hATTR-SFN confirmed by reduced intraepidermal nerve fiber density on skin biopsy were retrospectively included, and their characteristics were compared. To analyze prognosis of pSS-SFN, patients prospectively underwent a second evaluation.
Fifteen pSS-SFN, 17 hATTR-SFN, and 11 i-SFN were included. Time to diagnosis SFN was longer in pSS-SFN and i-SFN than in hATTR-SFN. Painful and non-length-dependent patterns were more frequent in pSS-SFN than in hATTR-SFN. Twelve (80%) patients with pSS-SFN had a non-length-dependent pattern. Ten patients with pSS were reassessed after 3.1 years (1.7-4.7); none developed large fiber neuropathy linked to pSS.
Primary Sjögren syndrome SFN is characterized by a more frequent non-length-dependent pattern compared with i-SFN and hATTR-SFN. Primary Sjögren syndrome SFN did not evolve through large fiber neuropathy.
我们比较了原发性干燥综合征(pSS)小纤维神经病(SFN;pSS-SFN)与特发性 SFN(i-SFN)和遗传性转甲状腺素蛋白淀粉样变性 SFN(hATTR-SFN)的组织学和临床特征,并描述了 pSS-SFN 的演变过程。
所有经皮肤活检证实的减少表皮内神经纤维密度的 pSS-SFN、i-SFN 和 hATTR-SFN 患者均被回顾性纳入,并对其特征进行比较。为了分析 pSS-SFN 的预后,前瞻性对患者进行了第二次评估。
共纳入 15 例 pSS-SFN、17 例 hATTR-SFN 和 11 例 i-SFN。pSS-SFN 和 i-SFN 患者的 SFN 诊断时间长于 hATTR-SFN。pSS-SFN 比 hATTR-SFN 更常出现疼痛和非长度依赖性模式。12 例(80%)pSS-SFN 患者为非长度依赖性模式。10 例 pSS 患者在 3.1 年后(1.7-4.7 年)再次评估,均未出现与 pSS 相关的大纤维神经病。
与 i-SFN 和 hATTR-SFN 相比,pSS-SFN 的特征更常为非长度依赖性模式。pSS-SFN 未通过大纤维神经病进展。
