Patients with autoimmune and inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIRDs) are at high risk of developing COVID-19. Vaccination is an effective method of preventing this disease, which may be unsafe for patients with AIRDs. The aim of the study is to assess the safety of Gam-COVID-Vac in patients with IVRD in real clinical practice. Material and methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out. The main group consisted of patients with AIRDs, the control group consisted of individuals without AIRDs. All participants were interviewed by the research physician using a unified questionnaire, additional information was obtained from medical records. Results. The study included 222 patients with AIRDs (119 with rheumatoid arthritis, 36 with ankylosing spondylitis, 17 with psoriatic arthritis, 17 with Sjögren's disease, 10 with undifferentiated spondyloarthritis, 8 with systemic lupus erythematosus, 4 with metabolic arthritis, 3 with systemic scleroderma, 3 with systemic vasculitis, 2 with polymyalgia rheumatica, 2 with undifferentiated systemic connective tissue disease, 1 with adult Still's disease) and 111 patients without AIRDs. The number of patients with AIRDs who had a combination of local and systemic adverse events (AE) on the introduction of the first component of the vaccine was significantly less than in the control group (22.1 and 44.1%, respectively, P<0.001). Similar differences were also noted after the introduction of the second component (14.0 and 29.7%, respectively, P<0.001). AEs such as pain at the injection site without restriction of movement, weakness, fever, arthralgia/myalgia, headache, and chills were significantly more common in the control group after the introduction of the first component of the vaccine. After complete immunization, AEs were absent in 35.6% of patients with AIRDs and in 21.6% of control group patients (P=0.01). Exacerbations of AIRDs and new autoimmune phenomena were not registered in any cases. Conclusions. According to preliminary data, immunization of patients with AIRDs with the Gam-COVID-Vac combined vector vaccine appears to be quite safe.","PeriodicalId":8471,"journal":{"name":"Antibiotics and Chemotherapy","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84710394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Another purpose of the study was determination of cytotoxicity and antiviral activity of compounds on cell lines permissive for influenza virus and betacoronavirus. The antiviral activity of 6 adamantane derivatives against strains of the influenza virus (H1N1) and betacoronavirus was studied. It was established that the NO-donor derivative of aminoadamantane succinate and the dopamine derivative of adamantanebenzoic acid had the greatest ability to suppress the development of the influenza virus with a chemotherapeutic index above 60.

Material and methods. The study included 156 patients admitted to the City Clinical Hospital No. 15 of the Moscow Health Department with COVID-19 diagnosis, who received remdesivir as an antiviral drug. The frequency of adverse reactions (bradycardia, dyspeptic disorders), as well as various laboratory parameters (ALT, AST, creatinine, ferritin, interleukin-6, and d-dimer levels) were compared between the carriers of wild-type and polymorphic variants of the studied genes. Results. Carriers of CYP3A5*3 polymorphic variants (GA+AA) had higher ALT levels after the treatment with remdesivir than carriers of the wild variant (GG). When comparing the level of interleukin-6 after therapy with remdesivir, carriers of the polymorphic variant of the CYP3A4*22 (CT) gene had a significantly higher level of this cytokine. Conclusion. An association between the carriage of polymorphic variants of CYP3A5*3 and an increase in the level of liver enzymes was found. Polymorphic variants of CYP3A4*22 were associated with higher levels of interleukin-6.

To analyze formation features of the epidemic situation for tuberculosis (TB) in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to predict the further actions of medical organizations. Materials and methods. The data for the region for the last 5 years (2017-2021) were analyzed, including 1,762 newly diagnosed cases of patients with TB and comorbidities (according to the data of the Regional Public Health Organization «Regional Clinical Anti-Tuberculosis Dispensary»). All cases were verified using standard diagnostic methods, including molecular genetic methods, to determine the resistance of pathogens to antibacterial drugs. Results. It was revealed that the epidemiological situation in the region was multidirectional: thus, during the COVID-19 epidemic, the most pronounced incidence decrease was observed among cases of chronic course hepatitis (by 16.4 times), while among patients with tuberculosis the incidence decreased by 2.75 times, and among patients with acute hepatitis - only by 1.5 times (P<0.05). Among the cases of comorbid infection, the most severe course was observed in patients with combined (TB + HIV) infection: there was both a more severe general condition, and the development of adverse (undesirable) reactions to anti-TB drugs, which required an extension of maintenance therapy. Conclusions. The results of the study showed that against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic in the region, there was no tendency towards a worsening of the epidemic situation, primarily for the more socially significant infection - tuberculosis. At the same time, there was an increase in the number of cases of comorbid pathology, including HIV + TB. In the treatment of patients with comorbid forms of infection, it is necessary to take into account the possibility of developing hepatotoxic reactions and, as a result, the appointment of accompanying drugs with hepatoprotective and detoxification effects in therapy.","PeriodicalId":8471,"journal":{"name":"Antibiotics and Chemotherapy","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82820376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As one of the methods of combating the current COVID-19 pandemic, most experts suggest the widespread use of vaccination. The use of anticovid vaccines in patients with rheumatic diseases raises a number of questions related to efficacy, immunogenicity (especially in patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy), as well as safety of immunization. With that in mind, it is very important to analyze the data on the above-mentioned aspects in real time. This review presents the results of studies on COVID-19 vaccination immunogenicity in rheumatology conducted over the past two years. The ability of a number of antirheumatic drugs to have a negative effect (to varying degrees) on the post-vaccination response has been demonstrated. Interpretation and comparison of the results of vaccine immunogenicity studies are complicated by a number of factors usually associated with the design of works.
