ABSTRACT

Resumen El síndrome de sensibilidad a drogas con eosinofilia y síntomas sistémicos es una reacción de hipersensibilidad que se desencadena por múltiples drogas, tales como antibióticos, antiinflamatorios, anticonvulsivantes que ocurre en el 2,2 % de los pacientes hospitalizados. Su importancia radica en la alta mortalidad, que puede alcanzar hasta un 30 %. Se presenta el caso de un niño de 5 años, con antecedentes de epilepsia diagnosticada, tratada con carbamazepina, que al corto tiempo de iniciar tratamiento anticonvulsivante evolucionó con fiebre de 11 días. Posteriormente aparecieron lesiones cutáneas eritematosas maculopapulares pruriginosas. Se ingresó con el diagnostico de síndrome febril prolongado. Los exámenes de laboratorio revelaron eosinofilia, elevación de pruebas hepáticas y de proteína C reactiva. Se planteó síndrome de sensibilidad a drogas inducido por carbamazepina, tras resultado de la biopsia de piel se suspende el anticomicial, remitiendo así el cuadro, con normalización de eosinófilos y función hepática. El paciente evolucionó sin fiebre y en buen estado general. Se presenta este caso por la baja prevalencia de este síndrome en el Hospital Pediátrico Universitario Paquito González Cueto de Cienfuegos.


Abstract Drug reaction syndrome with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms is a reaction of hypersensitivity which triggers due to multiple drugs such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, anti-convulsants which occur in 2,2 % of admitted patients. Its importance is related in the high mortality that can achieve 30 %. A case of a 5 year old boy with antecedents of diagnosed epilepsy, treated with carbamazepine, who short time after starting the treatment had fever for 11 days. Posteriorly cutaneous erythematous pruritic maculopapular skin lesions appeared. He was admitted with the diagnosis of prolonged febrile syndrome. Laboratory test showed eosinophilia, elevation of liver tests and C-reactive protein. A syndrome of drug sensitivity was considered induced by carbamazepine, after the result of skin biopsy anti-comicial is suspended thus improving the condition, with normalization of eosinophils and liver function. The patient progressed without fever and good general condition. The case is presented due to the low prevalence of this syndrome in the University Pediatric Hospital Paquito González Cueto. Cienfuegos.

ABSTRACT

Presentation of one case of extraocular muscle enlargement caused by cysticercosis, its clinical, diagnostic and treatment aspects, and review of the literature on this theme. A female 38-year-old patient with extraocular muscle enlargement and a small cystic lesion at the superior rectus muscle insertion was treated with oral prednisone for almost one year, with a non-specific inflammation of right orbit diagnosis. There were important ocular motility restriction and pain. Computerized tomography disclosed a superior rectus muscle thickening with a small cystic and apparently empty lesion at the muscle's insertion. Excisional biopsy and histopathological study confirmed the clinical suspicion of cysticercosis. There was partial resolution of the restricted motility. Extraocular muscle cysticercosis is the most common site of this disease when involving the orbit. Oral albendazole and prednisone are efficient, but a long history of disease can lead to important residual ocular motility restriction.


Apresentação de um caso de aumento de músculo extra-ocular causado por cisticercose, seus aspectos diagnósticos, clínicos, tratamento e revisão da literatura sobre o tema. Paciente de 38 anos do sexo feminino com aumento de músculo reto superior e pequena lesão cística foi tratada por um ano com prednisona oral com o diagnóstico de inflamação inespecífica da órbita. Havia importante restrição da motilidade ocular e dor. Tomografia computadorizada demonstrou espessamento do reto superior e pequena lesão cística, aparentemente sem conteúdo, na inserção do músculo. Biópsia excisional e estudo histopatológico confirmaram a suspeita de cisticercose. Houve melhora parcial da restrição de motilidade. A cisticercose de músculo extra-ocular é a mais frequente forma orbitária da doença. Tratamento clínico com albendazol e prednisona é eficiente, mas um atraso no diagnóstico pode levar a importante restrição residual na motilidade ocular.
