Juvenile localized scleroderma : A single‐centre experience from India
Abstract Background Juvenile localized scleroderma (JLS) or morphoea, a rare chronic autoimmune disease predominantly affects skin, subcutaneous tissue and occasionally the adjacent muscle, fascia and bone. We report the largest single‐centre cohort of patients with JLS from India. Methods Patients who were diagnosed to have JLS were enrolled from the Paediatric Dermatology Clinic and the Paediatric Rheumatology Clinic of a tertiary care referral hospital in India. Collected data included details of the clinical profile, laboratory investigations and management. Results We analysed 84 patients with Juvenile localized scleroderma. Median age of disease onset was 5 years, and median age at diagnosis was 8 years. Commonest subtype was linear scleroderma (57 patients, 67.7%) followed by plaque morphoea and generalized morphoea. Fourteen patients (16.6%) were noted to have extracutaneous manifestations (ECMs). These included arthritis in eight (33.3%), brain parenchymal abnormalities in four (4.7%) and pulmonary involvement in two (8.3%) patients. Antinuclear antibody (ANA) was positive in eight/25 patients (32%; diffuse and speckled pattern in four patients each). One amongst these also had elevated anti‐dsDNA titres. Positive ANA was found to have no association with ECMs ( p1.000). Patients were treated using methotrexate (61 patients; 72.6%), dexamethasone oral mini‐pulse (OMP; 35 patients; 41.6%), calcipotriol (39 patients; 46.4%), topical corticosteroids (32 patients; 38%) and topical tacrolimus (three patients; 3.7%). Using linear regression analysis, administration of dexamethasone OMP and calcipotriol was found to be a predictor of good treatment response ( p0.034 and 0.019, respectively). Conclusion Early use of systemic corticosteroids along with methotrexate may be more beneficial than methotrexate therapy alone..
