Patients with cystic fibrosis often complain of joint manifestations. However, only a few studies have reported the association between cystic fibrosis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis and addressed the therapeutic challenges of these patients. We describe the first paediatric case of a patient affected by cystic fibrosis, Basedow's disease and juvenile idiopathic arthritis who was contemporarily treated with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) and anti-tumor necrosis factor α (anti-TNFα). This report seems to reassure regarding the potential side effects of these associations. Moreover, our experience suggests that anti-TNFα is an effective option in CF patients affected by juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and is even safe for children receiving a triple modulator.
囊性纤维化患者常主诉有关节表现。然而,仅有少数研究报道了囊性纤维化与幼年特发性关节炎之间的关联,并探讨了这些患者的治疗挑战。我们描述了首例同时患有囊性纤维化、格雷夫斯病和幼年特发性关节炎的儿科患者,该患者同时接受了依列卡福/替扎卡福/艾伐卡福(ELX/TEZ/IVA)和抗肿瘤坏死因子α(抗TNFα)治疗。本报告似乎消除了对这些联合用药潜在副作用的担忧。此外,我们的经验表明,抗TNFα对于患有幼年特发性关节炎的囊性纤维化患者是一种有效的选择,对于接受三联调节剂治疗的儿童甚至也是安全的。
