In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical features and treatments, including the use of biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) in a large cohort of pediatric and adult immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV). Since data on the use of bDMARDs in IgAV are very limited, we collated the reasons for use of bDMARDs during the disease course. Patients who were enrolled in the Hacettepe University Vasculitis Research Centre (HUVAC) registry were included. In this prospective database dating from 2014, there were 436 IgAV patients classified as IgAV according to Ankara 2008 and/or American College of Rheumatology 1990 criteria. 88 adults and 330 pediatric IgAV patients were included as the main study group. Concomitant spondyloarthritis (SpA) was observed only in adult patients (10% vs 0% in children, p < 0.001). IgAV relapse was more common in adults than in children (p: 0.017). Adult patients were mostly treated with corticosteroid (p < 0.001) and conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug treatment (< 0.001), while more than half of the pediatric patients were followed up without immunosuppressive treatment. Ten (11%) adult patients used biologics. Among them, two patients used rituximab due to IgAV disease activity, three used infliximab due to SpA, three used etanercept due to SpA (one patient had a pediatric onset enthesitis-related arthritis), and two used anakinra due to recurrent familial Mediterranean fever attacks. This is the first study evaluating the use of all bDMARDs for any reason in the IgAV cohorts in the literature. None of the pediatric patients used biologics. Our data suggest biologics are mainly used for comorbid inflammatory diseases over refractory vasculitis in adult IgAV.
