Abstract

Introduction: House dust mite (HDM) allergy has been reported as an actual cause of asthma in children. Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) is a recommended treatment for HDM allergy patients. However, there were limited data about the characteristic of pediatric patients with HDM-SCIT, particularly in Indonesia. This study was aimed to evaluate the characteristic of pediatric patients with allergic asthma. Methods: Study participants were pediatric patients confirmed with HDM allergy from Skin Prick Test (SPT) in the pediatric allergy-immunology outpatient clinic in Saiful Anwar Hospital Malang, Indonesia. Patients who were treated with HDM-SCIT in the early build-up phase of treatment were included in this study. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients were recorded. Peripheral blood samples were drawn to evaluate the total eosinophil count (TEC), total basophil count (TBC), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), specific IgE (sIgE) and total IgE (t-IgE) level. Clinical diagnosis of asthma was classified according to the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) criteria. The evaluation of asthma control was assessed by the Asthma Control Test (ACT) score. Results: Thirty-two patients were enrolled in this study, including 14 male and 18 female. The mean age of children was 6.92 ± 2.60 years old. There were 21 subjects with uncontrolled asthma and 11 subjects with partially controlled asthma. Demographic characteristics including age, sex, nutritional status and family history were not significantly different between uncontrolled and partially controlled asthma groups (p> 0.05). TEC, TBC, NLR, and tIgE were not different significantly among groups (p> 0.05). This study showed that the mean of sIgE serum level was higher in uncontrolled asthma compared to partially controlled asthma group (p= 0.022). Moreover, it was a negative significant correlation between sIgE serum level and ACT score (p= 0.002, r= -0.532). Conclusion: Higher sIgE levels were correlated with poor asthma control in HDM-SCIT patients.

Abstract

Introduction: The prospective studies have estimated that the DRESS syndrome incidence rate is about 1 per 1000 to 10,000 with the mortality rate is to be around 10% to 20%. Case: We have been reported a case of DRESS in an eleven-year-old boy who came to the emergency room with the chief complaint of maculopapular rash in the body that had been happened for three days. The rash was first appeared in the arms area and thus spread to the trunk, abdomen, and lower extremities. The erythema was well-demarcated, purplish in color. There was a history of fever a week before admission which reached 40 0 Celcius. There are multiple histories of drug administration, either orally or intravenously to this patient, and made the diagnosis of drug reaction is highly possible. The management of these patients consists of suspending suspected drugs and implementing supportive measures. Conclusion: Regarding pharmacological treatment, the use of systemic corticosteroids for a prolonged period with a gradual decrease is suggested, to avoid relapses.

Abstract

Introduction: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic rheumatic disease in children, characterized by persistent joint inflammation. However, early diagnosis is often challenging due to heterogeneous clinical manifestations. Among its subtypes, oligoarthritis is the most common, involving up to four joints within six months of symptom onset. This case is distinctive due to its very early onset at the age of 3 years, prolonged diagnostic delay despite multiple healthcare visits, and diagnostic challenges related to nonspecific initial symptoms. Delayed diagnosis can result in joint deformity, growth retardation, and long-term disability, highlighting the importance of early recognition and timely management. Case Presentation: A 3-year-old male child presented with progressive joint pain, morning stiffness, and recurrent joint swelling that was initially associated with a history of trauma. Symptoms had been present since the age of 1.5 years, leading to a significant delay in definitive diagnosis. Based on clinical evaluation, imaging findings, and laboratory investigations, a diagnosis of oligoarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis was established according to the International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) criteria. The diagnostic process was further complicated by trauma-associated symptom onset and involvement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which underscores the need for heightened clinical suspicion. The patient received multidisciplinary management, including pharmacological therapy, physical rehabilitation, and nutritional support. Conclusion: This case illustrates the complexity of diagnosing and managing oligoarticular JIA in pediatric patients, particularly in cases with very early onset, delayed diagnosis, and TMJ involvement. A comprehensive multidisciplinary approach, along with increased clinical awareness and early diagnosis, is essential to control inflammation, preserve joint function, and prevent long-term complications in children with JIA.
