ABSTRACT

Com grande distribuição mundial e incidência significativa, a toxoplamose é uma doença comum em mamíferos e pássaros, causada pelo protozoário Toxoplasma gondii. No homem, o parasitismo na fase proliferativa intracelular pode se apresentar sem sintomas, ou causar clínica transitória caracterizada por febre, fadiga e linfadenopatia. Por se tratar de patologia com sintomas inespecíficos e comuns a muitas outras, é fundamental a correta pesquisa de diagnósticos diferenciais, como citomegalovírus e Epstein-Barr. Relatamos o caso de um jovem e hígido, que desenvolveu pneumonia e, após confirmação sorológica para toxoplasmose e o tratamento adequado, apresentou melhora clínica.


With great worldwide distribution and significant incidence, toxoplamosis is a common disease in mammals and birds, caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. In humans, the parasitism in its intracellular proliferative phase may present no symptoms, or cause a transient condition characterized by fever, fatigue, and lymphadenopathy. Because it is a pathology with nonspecific symptoms that are common to many other conditions, it is fundamental to find the correct research of differential diagnoses, such as for Cytomegalovirus and Epstein Barr. We report a case of a young and healthy man who developed pneumonia and, after serological confirmation for toxoplasmosis and the appropriate treatment, presented clinical improvement

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Demonstrar casos de Chikungunya cujos paciente evoluíram com Síndrome da Angústia Respiratória do Adulto. Métodos: Estudo descritivo e documental cuja a amostra foi composta por pacientes internados em um hospital no município de Campos dos Goytacazes, diagnosticados com sorologia IgM positiva para febre do vírus Chikungunya, que evoluíram para Síndrome da Angústia Respiratória do Adulto. Foram feitas análises de prontuários e de imagens radiológicas, além de revisão de literatura. Resultados: Foram incluídos três pacientes no estudo, sendo que um evoluiu ao óbito e os outros dois obtiveram recuperação de suas funções após o quadro agudo da doença. Conclusão: A Chikungunya é uma doença recente em território nacional, com possível evolução para quadros graves, especialmente em sua fase aguda. Por essa razão, estudos aprofundados são necessários para maior conhecimento e entendimento da patologia e de suas factíveis complicações.


Objective: To report cases of Chikungunya that progressed with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Methods: This is a descriptive and documental study, the sample of which consisted of patients who were hospitalized, in the city of Campos dos Goytacazes, diagnosed with positive IgM serology for Chikungunya fever, which progressed to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Medical records and radiological images were analyzed, and literature reviewed. Results: Three patients were included in the study, with one of them progressing to death, and the other two having their functions recovered after acute illness. Conclusion: Chikungunya is a recent disease in the national territory, with possible progression to severe conditions, especially on its acute phase. For this reason, in-depth studies are necessary for a better knowledge and understanding of the pathology and its likely complications
