Prevalence of human T-lymphotropic virus type I in patients with psoriasis and its effect on treatment choice: A multicenter observational study.
Journal of dermatological science(2023)
摘要
Biologics have benefited psoriasis patients due to their high therapeutic efficacy. In 2019, the Japanese Dermatological Association has revised Guidance for the Use of Biologics in Psoriasis [ [1] Saeki H. Terui T. Morita A. Sano S. Imafuku S. Asahina A. et al. Biologics Review Committee of the Japanese Dermatological Association for Psoriasis: Chair: O. Mamitaro, Japanese guidance for use of biologics for psoriasis (the 2019 version). J. Dermatol. 2020; 47: 201-222 Crossref PubMed Scopus (52) Google Scholar ] for the safe use of biologics. It recommended screening tests for latent infections such as tuberculosis and viral hepatitis before starting the use of biologics. Human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-1) is a human retrovirus [ [2] Forlani G. Shallak M. Accolla R.S. Romanelli M.G. HTLV-1 infection and pathogenesis: new insights from cellular and animal models. Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2021; 22 Crossref Scopus (13) Google Scholar ]. Some individuals with HTLV-1 infection develop adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) [ [3] Schierhout G. McGregor S. Gessain A. Einsiedel L. Martinello M. Kaldor J. Association between HTLV-1 infection and adverse health outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiological studies. Lancet Infect. Dis. 2020; 20: 133-143 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (96) Google Scholar ]. In Japan, HTLV-1 carriers are more common in the southwestern area [ [4] Satake M. Yamaguchi K. Tadokoro K. Current prevalence of HTLV-1 in Japan as determined by screening of blood donors. J. Med. Virol. 2012; 84: 327-335 Crossref PubMed Scopus (150) Google Scholar ]. Serum anti-HTLV-1 antibody testing is listed as one of the screening tests in the Japanese guidance on biologics [ [1] Saeki H. Terui T. Morita A. Sano S. Imafuku S. Asahina A. et al. Biologics Review Committee of the Japanese Dermatological Association for Psoriasis: Chair: O. Mamitaro, Japanese guidance for use of biologics for psoriasis (the 2019 version). J. Dermatol. 2020; 47: 201-222 Crossref PubMed Scopus (52) Google Scholar ], but there is no description about the management of HTLV-1–positive patients. To date, the evidence has been very limited. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic systemic inflammatory disease similar to psoriasis, several case series have reported the prevalence of HTLV-1 carrier status [ [5] Iwamoto N. Araki T. Umetsu A. Takatani A. Aramaki T. Ichinose K. et al. The Association of Increase of Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus Type-1 (HTLV-1) Proviral Load (PVL) With Infection in HTLV-1-Positive Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Longitudinal Analysis of Changes in HTLV-1 PVLs in a Single Center Cohort Study. Front. Immunol. 2022; 13887783 Crossref Scopus (0) Google Scholar ]. HTLV-1 carriers are reportedly less responsive to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors than non-carriers [ [6] Suzuki T. Fukui S. Umekita K. Miyamoto J. Umeda M. Nishino A. et al. Brief report: attenuated effectiveness of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors for anti-human T lymphotropic virus type I antibody-positive rheumatoid arthritis. Arthritis Rheuma. 2018; 70: 1014-1021 Crossref PubMed Scopus (13) Google Scholar ]. Although the sample sizes were limited, these research studies suggested that treatment with TNF-α inhibitors does not affect the development of ATL. Almost no information is available about biologic therapy for patients with psoriasis and HTLV-1 carrier status. Therefore, a multicenter retrospective study was conducted to characterize the prevalence of HTLV-1 carrier status in patients with psoriasis and how they are currently being treated.
