ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los estudios sobre la infección fúngica invasora (IFI) por Fusarium spp en pacientes pediátricos con patología hemato-oncológica, son escasos, correspondiendo en general a series clínicas descriptas en forma retrospectiva, lo que dificulta conocer en profundidad sus características y evolución. Objetivo: Analizar la evolución fatal de la IFI causada por Fusarium spp en pacientes pediátricos con patología hemato-oncológica, llevándose a cabo una revisión sistemática. Material y Métodos: La búsqueda bibliográfica se realizó con fecha 23 de marzo de 2023, en las principales bases de datos (Medline (a través de PubMed), Embase (a través de Embase-Elsevier), The Cochrane Library (a través de Wiley), Cinahl (a través de EbscoHOST), SCI-EXPANDED y Scielo (a través de la WOS) y Scopus (a través de Scopus-Elsevier) y libre (mediante el motor Google) y revisando las citas de los artículos incluidos. Resultados: Se rescataron 1.341 artículos, de los cuales se descartaron 931 por diversas razones. Mediante el análisis de los textos completos, finalmente se incluyeron 11 estudios. Todos los estudios eran de nivel 4 (serie de casos). Se detectó una notoria heterogeneidad (p < 0,008) entre los mismos. La mediana de la frecuencia de muerte observada implicó a un tercio de los afectados (Md 33 %; Q1:22,7-Q4:75). Conclusiones: La mortalidad por IFI por Fusarium spp fue alta en niños con patología hemato-oncológica, en especial en aquellos con neutropenia profunda y mala respuesta al tratamiento de su enfermedad de base


Background: Studies on invasive fungal infection (IFI) by Fusarium spp in pediatric patients with hemato-oncological pathology are scarce and limited and a few series of cases described retrospectively, which makes it difficult to fully understand their characteristics and outcome. With the aim of analyzing the fatal evolution of these patients, this systematic review was carried out. Methods: The literature search was performed up to March 23, 2023, in the main databases, as Medline (through PubMed), Embase (through Embase-Elsevier), The Cochrane Library (through Wiley), Cinahl (through EbscoHOST), SCI-EXPANDED and Scielo (through WOS) and Scopus (through Scopus-Elsevier) and free (through the Google engine) and reviewing the citations of the included articles. Results: 1341 articles were retrieved, of which 931 were discarded for various reasons. By analyzing its full texts, 11 studies were finally included. It was observed that heterogeneity among them was relevant (p < 0.008). Median frequency of death involved one third of those affected (Md 33%; Q1:22,7-Q4:75). Conclusions: Mortality due to IFI due to Fusarium spp was high in children with hemato-oncological pathology, especially in those with severe neutropenia and poor response to treatment of their underlying disease.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Presentamos el caso clínico de un paciente con una leucemia linfoblástica aguda (LLA) que desarrolló una fusariosis diseminada por Fusarium verticillioides durante un episodio prolongado de neutropenia febril post quimioterapia. Fue exitosamente tratado cuando se usó terapia combinada de voriconazol más anfotericina B deoxicolato.


We report a case of a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), who developed a disseminated infection by Fusarium verticillioides during chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. He was successfully treated only after combination therapy with voriconazole plus amphotericin B deoxycolate was used, but not when these compounds were used in an isolated form.

ABSTRACT

La infección diseminada por Fusarium se ha convertido en un problema creciente en las personas con neoplasias hematológicas malignas, principalmente en pacientes con leucemias agudas; se describen cada vez más casos en aquellos sometidos a un trasplante de médula ósea. No existe un tratamiento óptimo establecido para la fusariosis diseminada. La mortalidad global comunicada de esta infección oscila entre el 50 y el 80%. Se presenta a continuación el caso de un paciente de sexo masculino de 29 años, con diagnóstico de leucemia mieloide aguda, que presenta como complicación una fusariosis diseminada, y logra sobrellevar un trasplante alogénico de médula ósea en el Hospital Italiano de San Justo (Argentina) de forma exitosa. (AU)


Disseminated fusariosis has become an increasing problem in people with hematopoietic neoplasms, mainly in patients affected by acute leukemias, and even more in those who undergo hematopoietic cell transplantation. There is not an optimal treatment for disseminated fusariosis. The global mortality described in the literature is between 50% and 80%. We introduce a case of a 29 year old patient with diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia complicated with disseminated fusariosis, who copes with an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation with a successful outcome in the "Hospital Italiano de San Justo" (Argentina).
