ABSTRACT

La anemia de Diamond Blackfan es un trastorno genético y clínico raro, caracterizado por aplasia eritrocitaria, que clásicamente se manifiesta durante el primer año de vida, típicamente a los 2-3 meses de edad. El 25% de los afectados presentan anemia severa en la infancia, normo o macrocitosis, reticulocitopenia y disminución selectiva de células precursoras eritroides en medula ósea. Es causada por mutaciones que afectan genes que codifican para proteínas ribosomales, inicialmente fue identificado RPS19, que codifica la proteína S19 y las mutaciones a otros genes que codifican proteínas ribosomales. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de cuatro meses de edad quien debutó con anemia severa, quien no mejoró con la suplencia de hierro, vitamina B12, y ácido fólico y además fueron descartadas sistemáticamente causas frecuentes de anemia. El diagnóstico de anemia de Diamond Blackfan en nuestro medio es un diagnóstico de exclusión, dada la dificultad para acceso a pruebas de confirmación genética. Se establece el diagnóstico y se da manejo con glucocorticoides con buena respuesta clínica y paraclínica


The Diamond Blackfan anemia is a rare genetic and clinical disorder. It is characterized by red cell aplasia, which typically occurs during the first year of life, typically during the second to the third month of age. 25% of the patients had severe anemia during their childhood, normo or macrocytosis, reticulocyte and selective decrease in the number of erythroid precursor cells in bone marrow. It is caused by mutations affect genes encoding ribosomal proteins, RPS19 initially was identified, which encodes S19 protein and mutations in other genes encoding ribosomal proteins. We present a case of a four-month-old who debuted with severe anemia in whom the substitution were iron supplements, vitamin B12 and folic acid, showed no improvement and who also were systematically discarded as common causes of anemia. The diagnosis of Diamond Blackfan anemia in our country is a diagnosis of exclusion, given the difficulty of access to genetic confirmation tests. In this article the diagnosis is established and gives management with glucocorticoid with good clinical and paraclinical response
