Prevalência e diversidade genética do torque teno vírus em pacientes com lúpus eritematoso sistêmico em serviço de referência no Mato Grosso do Sul

Abstract: Recent studies on the torque teno virus (TTV), genus Anellovirus, have allowed formulating the hypothesis that TTV may trigger autoimmune rheumatic diseases or have some pathogenic role in them. Objectives: To determine the frequency of TTV infection in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the genetic diversity of TTV, the correlation between TTV infection and SLE clinical manifestations, and SLE clinical course and serological profi le. Patients and methods: Serum samples were obtained from 46 SL… Show more

“…ii) TTV and AV-sp, which exhibited relatively low positive rates, are categorized as non-pathogenic anelloviruses that are believed to be widely present in the human blood virome 23 . It is noteworthy that multiple studies have reported a higher positive rate of anelloviruses in SLE patients compared to that in healthy people 30,35 . Our results concerning VSIGs suggested that TTV, compared to other viruses, had a highly similar expression profile with HHV5 after viral infection of SLE patients (Figure S2), implying a possible similar mechanism of their influences on SLE.…”

“…Segundo Costa et al (2012), entende-se por sintomas inespecíficos de LES, fadiga, mal-estar, febre baixa, perda de peso e adenomegalia e que costuma evoluir com períodos de atividade inflamatória com manifestações cutâneas e articulares, alterações hematológicas e sorológicas embora não se possa ignorar a possibilidade de manifestações isoladas em outros órgãos ou sistemas, manifestações muito incaracterísticas levam à perseguição de diagnósticos alternativos mais frequentemente.…”

“…TTV infection is not solely found in hepatitis or liver diseases but is also detected in other non-related liver diseases as well. The rate of TTV infection in diseases related to other systems such as respiratory, genetic and cancerous is proved to be significantly high in many studies (Pifferi et al, 2005;Alavi et al, 2011;Costa et al, 2012;Cimponeriu et al, 2013). The number of studies conducted to observe any association of TTV pathogenesis with any non-hepatic diseases are increased by the year.…”
