ABSTRACT

Los niños con alteración de su sistema inmunológico son más vulnerables ante las infecciones que el resto de la población. Una de las formas de protegerlos de infecciones graves es a través de la vacunación, deben ser correctamente evaluados al planear los esquemas a fin de establecer los riesgos vs. los beneficios que implican inmunizarlos. El rol del médico pediatra y del médico especialista trabajando en equipo es fundamental, para que puedan beneficiarse con vacunas y esquemas especiales que requieran por su patología de base. Una protección óptima de estos pacientes incluye además la adecuada inmunización de los convivientes y del equipo médico tratante. La inmunización de los huéspedes especiales es una situación clínica compleja que requiere un análisis exhaustivo personalizado en cada caso, debido a las diferentes características de estos pacientes con enfermedades crónicas y/o inmunosuprimidos, los diversos grupos y muchos tipos de terapias inmunosupresoras que se están desarrollando y utilizando en un número cada vez mayor. Es fundamental el trabajo en equipo del médico especialista y el pediatra de cabecera para lograr el mejor control de las enfermedades inmunoprevenibles en estos pacientes de tan alta complejidad


Children with weakened immune systems are more vulnerable to infections than the rest of the population. One of the ways to protect them against serious infections is vaccination; they must be correctly evaluated when planning schedules in order to define the risks versus the benefits involved by their immunization. The role of pediatricians and medical specialists working as a team is fundamental, so that patients can benefit from vaccines and special schedules that they may require due to their underlying pathologies. Optimal protection of these patients also includes the adequate immunization of household members and their treating medical teams. The immunization of special hosts is a complex clinical situation that requires an exhaustive personalized case-by-case analysis, due to the different characteristics of these patients who have chronic diseases and / or are immunosuppressed, the various groups and many types of immunosuppressive therapies that are being developed and increasingly used. The teamwork of specialists and family pediatricians is essential to achieve the best control of immuno-preventable diseases in these highly complex patients

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Neonatal cholestasis due to endocrine diseases is infrequent and poorly reco-gnized. Referral to the pediatric endocrinologist is delayed. OBJECTIVE: We characterized cholestasis in infants with congenital pituitary hormone deficiencies (CPHD), and its resolution after hormone replacement therapy (HRT). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Sixteen patients (12 males) were included; eleven with CPHD, and five with isolated central hypocortisolism. RESULTS: Onset of cholestasis occurred at a median age of 18 days of life (range 2-120). Ten and nine patients had elevated transaminases and γGT, respectively. Referral to the endocrinologist occurred at 32 days (range 1 - 72). Remission of cholestasis occurred at a median age of 65 days, whereas liver enzymes occurred at 90 days. In our cohort isolated, hypocortisolism was a transient disorder. CONCLUSION: Cholestasis due to hormonal deficiencies completely resolved upon introduction of HRT. Isolated hypocortisolism may be a transient cause of cholestasis that needs to be re-evaluated after remission of cholestasis.


INTRODUÇÃO: A colestase neonatal causada por doenças endócrinas é pouco frequente e reconhecida. Existe um atraso no encaminhamento dos pacientes a um endocrinologista pediátrico. OBJETIVO: Caracterizamos a colestase em recém-nascidos com deficiências congênitas de hormônio hipofisário (DCHH) e sua resolução após a terapia de reposição hormonal (TRH). SUJEITOS E MÉTODOS: Dezesseis pacientes (12 do sexo masculino) foram incluídos; sete com DCHH, e cinco com hipocortisolismo central isolado. RESULTADOS: O início da colestase ocorreu aos 18 dias de vida (variação 2-120). Dez e nove pacientes apresentaram elevação das transaminases e γGT, respectivamente. A consulta com um endocrinologista aconteceu aos 32 dias (variação 1-72). A remissão da colestase ocorreu em uma idade mediana de 65 dias, enquanto a remissão das enzimas hepáticas aconteceu aos 90 dias. Na coorte isolada, o hipocortisolismo foi uma desordem transitória. CONCLUSÃO: A colestase causada por deficiências hormonais foi completamente resolvida após a introdução da TRH. O hipocortisolismo pode ser uma causa transitória da colestase e precisa ser reavaliado após a remissão da colestase.
