Resumo

A Mucopolissacaridose tipo II (MPS II), ou Síndrome de Hunter, é uma doença genética rara ligada ao cromossomo X, caracterizada pelo acúmulo de glicosaminoglicanos (GAGs) devido à deficiência da enzima iduronato-2-sulfatase. O tratamento padrão é a terapia de reposição enzimática (TRE) com idursulfase, que, apesar de eficaz, pode provocar reações adversas graves, incluindo anafilaxia. A dessensibilização é uma opção em casos de reações alérgicas graves quando não há terapias substitutas viáveis. Relatamos o caso de menino de 9 anos, com MPS II, que após 2 anos e 9 meses de uso de idursulfase desenvolveu reações alérgicas graves durante as infusões. Testes cutâneos indicaram uma possível reação de hipersensibilidade mediada por IgE. Após várias tentativas de ajuste da infusão e uso de pré-medicações, optou-se pela dessensibilização, utilizando protocolo baseado no descrito pela Profa. Castells. A primeira tentativa foi malsucedida, porém, após modificações no tempo de infusão e uso de pré-medicação adicional, o paciente passou a tolerar a dose completa de idursulfase semanalmente. Reações de hipersensibilidade imediata à idursulfase são comuns, e os testes cutâneos são úteis na identificação de reações mediadas por IgE. A dessensibilização demonstrou ser eficaz neste caso, evitando a suspensão do tratamento. O protocolo foi ajustado conforme a resposta do paciente, destacando a importância de abordagens individualizadas. A dessensibilização à idursulfase é uma alternativa segura e eficaz para pacientes com MPS II que apresentam reações de hipersensibilidade imediata graves à TRE. Este caso contribui para a compreensão da gestão de reações alérgicas no tratamento com idursulfase, incentivando estudos futuros para aprimorar a técnica.

Abstract

Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II), or Hunter syndrome, is a rare X-linked disease characterized by the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) due to deficiency of the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase. Standard treatment is enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with idursulfase, which, although effective, can cause serious adverse reactions, including anaphylaxis. Desensitization is an option in cases of severe allergic reactions when no viable alternative treatment is available. We report the case of a 9-year-old boy with MPS II who, after 2 years and 9 months of idursulfase use, developed severe allergic reactions during infusion. Skin testing indicated a possible IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reaction. After several attempts to adjust the infusion rate and to use premedication, we decided to perform desensitization using a protocol based on that described by Professor Castells. The first attempt was unsuccessful. However, after adjustments to the infusion rate and use of additional premedication, the patient began to tolerate the full dose of idursulfase weekly. Immediate hypersensitivity reactions to idursulfase are common, and skin testing is useful to identify IgE-mediated reactions. Desensitization was effective in this case, avoiding treatment discontinuation. The adjustments were tailored to the patient’s response, highlighting the importance of an individualized approach. Idursulfase desensitization is a safe and effective option for patients with MPS II who experience severe immediate hypersensitivity reactions to ERT. This case contributes to the understanding of the management of allergic reactions during treatment with idursulfase, encouraging future studies to improve the technique.
