This study aimed to describe the clinical spectrum of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) patients with anti-Ro/SS-A and anti-La/SS-B negativity.
From a single-center study population of consecutive SS patients fulfilling the 2016 ACR-EULAR classification criteria, those with triple seronegativity anti-Ro/SS-A (anti-Sjögren's-syndrome-related antigen A autoantibody), anti-La/SS-B (anti-Sjögren's-syndrome-related antigen B autoantibody), rheumatoid factor (RF) (-) and antinuclear antibody (ANA)(+)] or [anti-Ro/SS-A(-), anti-La/ SS-B(-), RF(+) and ANA(-)] and quad¬ruple seronegativity [anti-Ro/SS-A(-), anti-La/SS-B(-), RF(-) and ANA(-)] were identified retrospectively. Clinical, serological, and laboratory features were compared. A comparison between triple and quadruple seronegative pSS patients was also performed.
We included 184 patients (168 women, 16 men) with a mean age at diagnosis of 50.1±13.1 years. The most common subjective presenting features at the time of the diagnosis were dry mouth (94.5%) and dry eye (91.3 %). ANA positivity was 57.0%, and RF positivity was 30.4%. Salivary gland enlargement, arthritis, Raynaud's phenomenon, vasculitis, interstitial lung disease (ILD), neurological involvement, primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), lymphopenia, and thrombocytopenia were observed in ANA+ and RF+ patients but not in seronegative patients (p<0.0001). Arthritis was observed most frequently in RF-positive patients and secondly in ANA-positive patients, whereas arthritis was not observed in seronegative patients (p<0.0001). Autoimmune thyroiditis was present in 65 patients (35.0%), 84.6% of these patients were ANA positive while 12.3% were ANA negative (p=0.0014), RF positivity was 30.7% while RF negativity was 6.15% (p=0.001), 23.0% were both ANA and RF positive while 12.3% were seronegative (p<0.002). Cryoglobulinemia, renal disease, and lymphoma were not observed in any of the patients.
We confirm the strong influence of immunological markers on the phenotype of primary SS at diagnosis.
本研究旨在描述原发性干燥综合征(pSS)患者中抗 Ro/SS-A 和抗 La/SS-B 阴性的临床谱。
从一项单中心连续 SS 患者研究人群中,选取同时满足 2016 年 ACR-EULAR 分类标准、三联阴性(抗 Ro/SS-A[抗 Sjögren 综合征相关抗原 A 自身抗体]、抗 La/SS-B[抗 Sjögren 综合征相关抗原 B 自身抗体]、类风湿因子[RF](-)和抗核抗体[ANA](+)]或 [抗 Ro/SS-A(-)、抗 La/SS-B(-)、RF(+)和 ANA(-)])和四联阴性[抗 Ro/SS-A(-)、抗 La/SS-B(-)、RF(-)和 ANA(-)]的患者。回顾性比较临床、血清学和实验室特征。还比较了三联和四联阴性 pSS 患者之间的差异。
我们纳入了 184 名患者(168 名女性,16 名男性),诊断时的平均年龄为 50.1±13.1 岁。最常见的首发症状是口干(94.5%)和眼干(91.3%)。ANA 阳性率为 57.0%,RF 阳性率为 30.4%。唾液腺肿大、关节炎、雷诺现象、血管炎、间质性肺病(ILD)、神经系统受累、原发性胆汁性胆管炎(PBC)、淋巴细胞减少和血小板减少仅见于 ANA 和 RF 阳性患者,而在血清学阴性患者中未观察到(p<0.0001)。关节炎最常发生在 RF 阳性患者中,其次是 ANA 阳性患者,而血清学阴性患者中未观察到关节炎(p<0.0001)。自身免疫性甲状腺炎见于 65 名患者(35.0%),其中 84.6%的患者 ANA 阳性,而 12.3%的患者 ANA 阴性(p=0.0014),RF 阳性率为 30.7%,RF 阴性率为 6.15%(p=0.001),23.0%的患者同时存在 ANA 和 RF 阳性,而 12.3%的患者为血清学阴性(p<0.002)。任何患者均未观察到冷球蛋白血症、肾脏疾病和淋巴瘤。
我们证实了免疫标志物对原发性 SS 诊断时表型的强烈影响。
