(1,3)-Béta-D-Glucan Levels at Diagnosis of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and Its Correlation With Activity's Disease : a Cohort Sudy (BDG -JIA)

January 17, 2023 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common pediatric rheumatic disease of childhood. Most children still experience prolonged periods of active disease, however, there is still lack of effective and specific markers for early diagnosis of relapse. The pathogenesis of JIA is thought to be the result of a combination of host genetic and environmental triggers and The microbiota is a potential contributing factor to the development of the disease. (1-3)-ß-D-Glucan (BDG), a component of most fungal cell walls, possess immunomodulatory activities. Latest studies demonstrate that it acts as a trigger for autoimmune arthritis in adult. However the relation with JIA is not clearly defined. The objective of this study was to evaluate the (1,3)-Béta-D-Glucans level in patients with JIA and whether higher serum BDG levels are correlated with JIA activity of disease, comparatively with usual markers.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Measure of (1,3)-Beta-D-Glucans level in patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Time Frame: one year
(1-3)-ß-D-Glucan (BDG), a component of most fungal cell walls, possess immunomodulatory activities. Latest studies demonstrate that it acts as a trigger for autoimmune arthritis in adult. BDG assays (Fungitell®) will be performed on serum of each JIA patients.
one year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Correlation of (1,3)-Beta-D-Glucans level in patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis score (JADAS)
Time Frame: one year
The JADAS includes the following four measures: physician's global assessment of disease activity, measured on a 0-10 visual analog scale (VAS) where 0 = no activity and 10 = maximum activity; parent global assessment of well-being, measured on a 0-10 VAS where 0 = very well and 10 = very poor; the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), normalized to a 0 to 10 scale; and a count of joints with active disease.
