Title in Portuguese

Abstract in Portuguese
Eritrodermia é condição cutânea caracterizada por eritema generalizado ocasionado pelo agravamento de dermatoses pré-existentes, por farmacodemias, neoplasias viscerais e por linfomas cutâneos de células T (micose fungóide e síndrome de Sézary). O diagnóstico é realizado pelo exame histopatológico da pele, que entretanto, em muitos casos é inespecífico, não permitindo a conclusão causal para a eritrodermia. MÉTODOS: O presente trabalho avaliou o sangue periférico de 13 doentes com eritrodermias por linfoma cutâneo e 24 com eritrodermias reativas. Analisou-se as alterações quantitativas dos leucócitos, linfócitos e eosinófilos no hemograma, as anomalias linfocitárias classificadas como células de Sézary e linfócitos pleomórficos em esfregaços de sangue periférico e quantificadas em cem leucócitos e, as subpopulações linfocitárias T CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, TCRaß, CLA e CD25 através da avaliação quantitativa e de possíveis anomalias fenotípicas pela técnica de citometria de fluxo. OBJETIVOS: Identificar padrões auxiliares para o diagnóstico de linfoma cutâneo em pacientes com eritrodermias classificadas como idiopáticas. RESULTADOS: Observou-se que o número absoluto de linfócitos (p<0,018), o percentual de células de Sézary (p<0,014), de linfócitos pleomórficos (p<0,021) e de subpopulação de linfócitos T CD3/CD4 (p<0,049), assim como a relação CD4:CD8 (p<0,015), estiveram significantemente aumentados nos pacientes eritrodérmicos com diagnóstico de micose fungóide/síndrome de Sézary em relação aos pacientes com eritrodermias reativas e indivíduos normais e, que aberrações fenotípicas, como perda de marcadores de células T maduras (CD2, CD4, TCRaß) foram observadas exclusivamente na síndrome de Sézary.

Abstract in English
Erythroderma is a generalized erythema of the skin caused by the worsening of pre-existing dermatoses, by drug-eruptions, visceral cancers and cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome). The diagnosis of these conditions is usually done by histopathological examination of the diseased skin, although it is not always conclusive, with many cases remaining without a correct diagnosis for many years. METHODS: Peripheral blood from 13 patients with erythrodermic cutaneous lymphoma and from 24 patients with reactive erythroderma was analyzed. The study searched for quantitative alterations in total lymphocytes, pleomorphic lymphocytes and Sézary cells in the hemogram and peripheral blood smears and for quantitative changes in CD2, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, TCRaß, CLA and CD25 subsets of T-cells, as well as for phenotypically abnormal T cells, by flow cytometry. The aim of this study was to identify a simple auxiliary profile to diagnose cutaneous lymphoma in patients with erytroderma classified as idiopathic. RESULTS: The comparison of the mean and median values of the studied parameters between patients with erythrodermic cutaneous lymphoma and the reactive ones revealed expanded counts of absolute lymphocytes (p<0,018), pleomorphyc lymphocytes (p<0,021), Sezary cells (p<0,014) and the CD4 T-cell subset (p<0,049) with increased CD4:CD8 ratio (p<0,015) in the former. Phenotypically abnormal CD2, CD4 and TCRaß T cells were found only in patients with Sezary syndrome.
