OBJECTIVES: In patients with early arthritis naive to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, we evaluated the prevalence of initial and persistent lymphopenia, underlying diagnoses, and risk of infection or malignancy.
METHODS: Eight hundred and thirteen patients with early arthritis included in the ESPOIR cohort had a clinical examination, laboratory tests (viral serology, immunological tests, and cytokine profile), and radiographs. We determined the prevalence of lymphopenia at baseline and after 3 years, associated factors, diagnoses, and risk of infection or malignancy.
RESULTS: At baseline, 50/813 (6.2%) patients had lymphopenia. Lymphopenia was associated with positive rheumatoid factor (P=0.02), cytopenia (P≤0.05), hepatitis C (P=0.05), higher C-reactive protein and DAS28 (P≤0.05 for both). Cytokine profile and radiological progression were not significantly different between patients with and without lymphopenia. Suspected diagnoses at inclusion were rheumatoid arthritis (RA, n=27), unclassified arthritis (n=15), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, n=3), spondyloarthritis (n=2), Sjögren's syndrome (n=1), hematologic disease (n=1), and fibromyalgia (n=1). Fifteen patients out of 42 (35.7%) with initial lymphopenia had persistent lymphopenia after 3 years, including 5 with documented causes (lupus, hepatitis C, undernutrition, azathioprine, and tamoxifen); none had PVB19, HIV, or HBV infection and none experienced infections, solid or hematologic malignancies during follow-up. Final diagnoses in these 15 patients were RA (n=6), unclassified arthritis (n=6), SLE (n=1), spondyloarthritis (n=1), and fibromyalgia (n=1).
CONCLUSIONS: Lymphopenia is rare in early arthritis. The most common rheumatic cause is RA, in which marked inflammation and other cytopenias are common. Lymphopenia in early arthritis is often short-lived, even when methotrexate is prescribed.
