Síndrome Antissintetase: relato de dois casos e revisão da literatura

ResumoA Síndrome Antissintetase (SAS) é caracterizada por miosite, fenômeno de Raynaud, febre, doença pulmonar intersticial, artropatia e mãos de mecânico associados à presença de anticorpos contra a sintetase do RNAt especialmente anti‐Jo‐1. Este artigo tem como objetivo revisar a literatura sobre SAS e relatar dois casos, sendo o caso 1 de uma paciente com Polimiosite que desenvolveu, após alguns anos de doença, subluxação da articulação interfalangeana proximal do primeiro quirododáctilo direito, associada a manifestações pulmonares e anti‐Jo‐1 positivo. O caso 2 é de uma paciente com Dermatomiosite que evoluiu com subluxação dos dois primeiros quirodáctilos, anti‐Jo‐1 positivo e alterações pulmonares intersticiais na TC de tórax, porém assintomática. Esses casos demonstram a importância do diagnóstico precoce. Os autores descrevem dois casos dessa síndrome rara, enfatizando a sua gravidade do ponto de vista pulmonar e articular.AbstractAntissintetase Syndrome (ASS) is characterized by myositis, Raunaud's phenomenon, fever, intertitial lung disease, mechanic's hands and arthropathy associated with the presence of antibodies against tRNA synthetase, especially anti‐Jo‐1. This article aims to review the literature on ASS and report two cases where the first is a patient with polymyositis who developed subluxation on the proximal interphalangeal joint of bilateral first right finger after a few years of the disease, associated with pulmonary manifestations and positive anti‐JO‐1. In the second case, we present a patient with dermatomyositis, who developed a subluxation of the two first fingers, anti‐Jo1 positive and chest CT changes, but without clinical evidence of pulmonary involvement. These cases reveal the importance of performing early diagnosis. The authors describe two cases of this rare syndrome, emphasizing the severity of interstitial lung disease and arthritis
