ABSTRACT

Introduction: India has a huge disease burden of thalassemia major with an estimated 40 million carriers and over a million thalassemia major patients. Very few patients are optimally treated, and the standard of care “hematopoietic stem cell transplant” (HSCT) is out of reach for most patients and their families. The cost of HSCT is significant, and a substantial proportion of it goes to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) testing of family members (HLA screening) in hope of getting a matched related donor (MRD) for HSCT. The aim of this study was to establish that a new proposed testing algorithm of HLA typing would be more cost-effective as compared to the conventional HLA screening within MRD families for possible HSCT. Material and Methods: Buccal swab samples of 177 thalassemia patients and their prospective family donors (232) were collected. Using a new HLA testing algorithm, samples were tested for HLA typing in a sequential manner (first HLA-B, then HLA-A, and finally HLA-DR) using the sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe method on the Luminex platform. Results: The new sequential HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DRB1 testing algorithm showed a 49.1% reduction in cost compared to the conventional HLA testing algorithm. Furthermore, 40 patients (22.59%) were found to have HLA-MRD within the family among other samples that were tested. Conclusion: The new HLA testing algorithm proposed in the present study for identifying MRD for HSCT resulted in a substantial reduction in the cost of HSCT workup.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Bone marrow transplants primarily depend on people who previously registered to be donors. From then on, the search for compatibility between donor and recipient begins. OBJECTIVE: To describe the historical landmarks and the legal apparatus of bone marrow donor banks in Brazil based on an integrative review. METHODS: LILACS database and PubMed and SciELO journals were used. The term bone marrow transplantation was the descriptor. Eligibility criteria were: articles with the theme of Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) and studies carried out on the national territory. RESULTS: A total of 88,855 articles were identified, among which 185 met the eligibility criteria. After they were thoroughly read, 14 articles were selected. The studies pointed out fragments that dealt with important historical landmarks for the establishment of bone marrow transplantation as a conventional treatment for oncohematological diseases. CONCLUSION: The use of BMT has a history of more than thirty years in Brazil. However, none of the articles identified specifically addresses the historical content of bone marrow transplantation.

ABSTRACT

Resumo: O objetivo desta tese foi avaliar as alterações da qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde dos pacientes adultos com câncer hematológico, submetidos ao transplante de células-tronco hematopoéticas, nos primeiros cinco anos após o procedimento. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, longitudinal, observacional e analítico, realizado em hospital público do sul do Brasil, referência na América Latina para esta modalidade de tratamento. Foram incluídos 55 participantes com idade igual ou superior a 18 anos, que se submeteram a esta terapia. A coleta de dados ocorreu de setembro de 2013 a janeiro de 2021, com avaliações em dez etapas: pré-transplante (antes de iniciar o condicionamento), pancitopenia, pré-alta hospitalar, após 100 dias, após 180 dias, Follow up 1 (após 360 dias), e anualmente até completar cinco anos da realização do procedimento. Foram aplicados um instrumento para coleta de dados sociodemográficos e clínicos e os questionários de Qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde Quality of life Questionnaire Core 30 e Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Bone Marrow Transplant, ambos traduzidos, adaptados e validados para o português - Brasil. Em relação ao diagnóstico, as leucemias estão presentes em 65% dos casos; quanto à modalidade de tratamento, o transplante de células-tronco alogênico foi realizado em 71% dos pacientes. No que diz respeito aos óbitos, a causa de maior incidência foi por recidiva da doença (44%), e o maior número ocorreu no primeiro ano (37%). A qualidade de vida global (56,6/100) e geral (90,7/148) apresentou os menores escores na etapa de pancitopenia, com melhores índices no quinto ano, (80,4/100) e (116,1/148), respectivamente. A análise com o modelo linear generalizado misto evidenciou alterações significativas nos escores dos domínios de qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde entre as etapas ao longo do tempo. Foi comprovada a hipótese de que os pacientes com melhores escores nos domínios de qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde observados no início do tratamento têm maior sobrevida. Os resultados do estudo inferem as correlações entre os domínios mensurados e encontram, assim, sustentação no modelo conceitual teórico utilizado. As contribuições consistem em reafirmar a dimensionalidade do constructo qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde, além de agregar conhecimento acerca das alterações autopercebidas pelos pacientes durante o tratamento.


Abstract: The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the changes in the health-related quality of life of adult patients with hematological cancer undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the first five years after the procedure. This is a quantitative, longitudinal, observational and analytical study carried out in a public hospital in southern Brazil, a reference in Latin America for this treatment modality. We included 55 participants aged 18 years and over, who underwent this therapy. Data collection took place from September 2013 to January 2021, with evaluations in ten stages: pre-transplantation (before starting conditioning), pancytopenia, pre-hospital discharge, after 100 days, after 180 days, Follow up 1 ( after 360 days), and annually until completing five years of the procedure. An instrument for collecting sociodemographic and clinical data and the Health-related Quality of life Questionnaire Core 30 and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Bone Marrow Transplant questionnaires were applied, both translated, adapted and validated for Portuguese - Brazil. Regarding diagnosis, leukemias are present in 65% of cases; regarding the treatment modality, allogeneic stem cell transplantation was performed in 71% of the patients. With regard to deaths, the cause of highest incidence was disease recurrence (44%), and the highest number occurred in the first year (37%). The global (56.6/100) and general (90.7/148) quality of life had the lowest scores in the pancytopenia stage, with better rates in the fifth year (80.4/100) and (116.1/148), respectively. The analysis with the mixed generalized linear model showed significant changes in the scores of the health-related quality of life domains between the stages over time. The hypothesis was confirmed that patients with better scores in the domains of health-related quality of life observed at the beginning of treatment have greater survival. The study results infer the correlations between the measured domains and thus find support in the theoretical conceptual model used. The contributions consist of reaffirming the dimensionality of the health-related quality of life construct, in addition to adding knowledge about the self-perceived changes by patients during treatment.


Resumen: El objetivo de esta tesis fue evaluar los cambios en la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud de pacientes adultos con cáncer hematológico, sometidos a trasplante de células madre hematopoyéticas, en los primeros cinco años después del procedimiento. Se trata de un estudio cuantitativo, longitudinal, observacional y analítico realizado en un hospital público del sur de Brasil, referencia en América Latina para esta modalidad de tratamiento. Se incluyeron 55 participantes mayores de 18 años que se sometieron a esta terapia. La recolección de datos ocurrió de septiembre de 2013 a enero de 2021, con evaluaciones en diez etapas: pretrasplante (antes de iniciar el acondicionamiento), pancitopenia, alta prehospitalaria, después de 100 días, después de 180 días, Seguimiento 1 (después de 360 días), y anualmente hasta completar cinco años del procedimiento. Se aplicó un instrumento de recolección de datos sociodemográficos y clínicos y los cuestionarios Health-related Quality of life Questionnaire Core 30 y Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Bone Marrow Transplant, ambos traducidos, adaptados y validados para portugués - Brasil. En cuanto al diagnóstico, las leucemias están presentes en el 65% de los casos; en cuanto a la modalidad de tratamiento, se realizó trasplante alogénico de células madre en el 71% de los pacientes. En cuanto a las defunciones, la causa de mayor incidencia fue la recidiva de la enfermedad (44%) y el mayor número se produjo en el primer año (37%). La calidad de vida global (56,6/100) y general (90,7/148) tuvieron las puntuaciones más bajas en la etapa de pancitopenia, con mejores tasas en el quinto año (80,4/100) y (116,1/148), respectivamente. El análisis con el modelo lineal generalizado mixto mostró cambios significativos en las puntuaciones de los dominios de calidad de vida relacionada con la salud entre las etapas a lo largo del tiempo. Se confirmó la hipótesis de que los pacientes con mejores puntajes en los dominios de calidad de vida relacionada con la salud observados al inicio del tratamiento tienen mayor sobrevida. Los resultados del estudio infieren las correlaciones entre los dominios medidos y así encuentran apoyo en el modelo teórico conceptual utilizado. Los aportes consisten en reafirmar la dimensionalidad del constructo calidad de vida relacionada con la salud, además de sumar conocimientos sobre los cambios autopercibidos por los pacientes durante el tratamiento.

ABSTRACT

Este artigo é parte inicial de uma pesquisa realizada em um centro de transplante de medula óssea, do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), cujos usuários são pessoas em situação de extrema vulnerabilidade. Sua proposta é analisar dimensões que atravessam a prática em saúde e não se reduzem a resultados imediatamente mensuráveis, podendo ser chamadas de dimensões intangíveis do cuidar. O objetivo é refletir sobre o encontro profissional-paciente, em sua relação com o adoecimento e a morte, sob o conceito psicanalítico de inconsciente. Para isso, foi realizado o relato de situações vividas no campo denominadas vinhetas clínicas; e, com base nas articulações teóricas elaboradas, consideram-se os vetores da biopolítica, ética e afeto como axiais à assistência. Conclui com a necessidade de propor perspectivas do cuidar que reconheçam a subjetividade concernida à prática assistencial. (AU)


This article is based on the initial stages of a study undertaken in a public bone marrow transplant center for extremely vulnerable people. We analyze dimensions that cut across health care practice not reduced to immediately measureable results, otherwise called intangible dimensions of care. We reflect on the intersection between health professionals and patients in relation to illness and death drawing on the psychoanalytic concept of the unconscious. To this end, we document situations experienced in the field called clinical vignettes. Drawing on the theoretical framework, we consider the vectors biopolitics, ethics and affection to be core aspects of care. We conclude that there is a need for approaches to care that recognize the subjectivity of health care practice. (AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction: The reactivations of latent virus after bone marrow transplants affect the outcome of these patients. Hemorrhagic cystitis caused by BK virus, constitute a frequently lethal complication characterized by abdominal pain, hematuria and renal damage. The incidence is between 13-70 % in hematopoietic transplant receptors. The management includes antibiotics, antivirals, hyperhydration and forced diuresis, platelets and hyperbaric oxygen. Condyloma acuminatum of the anus associated to human papillomavirus is rare among transplanted patients (0.3-1.3 %). It is characterized by an invading mass in the region of the anus producing pain and bleeding. The treatment of choice is the surgical resection of the tumor. Objectives: To describe the clinical characteristics and evolution of hemorrhagic cystitis and anal condyloma acuminatum in a receptor of haploidentical hematopoietic transplant. Discussion: A 20-year-old man with diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia, on day +21 post-transplant presented macroscopic hematuria associated to BK virus reactivation and resolved with hyperbaric oxygen. On day + 59 post-transplant, anal pain started and a perianal, cauliflower-like mass over 5 cm, was observed. He was diagnosed with condyloma acuminatum of the anus and surgical resection was successfully performed. Conclusions: We reported a unique case of concurrence of both, hemorrhagic cystitis and condyloma acuminatum of the anus after haploidentical hematopoietic transplant. The proper management of these two pathologies allowed a satisfactory evolution of the patient.


RESUMEN Introducción: La reactivación de virus latentes en el organismo después del trasplante de progenitores hematopoyéticos (TPH) afecta la evolución de estos pacientes. La cistitis hemorrágica por virus BK constituye una complicación frecuentemente mortal caracterizada por dolor suprapúbico, hematuria y daño renal. La incidencia varía entre 13 y 70 % de los receptores de trasplante hematopoyético. El tratamiento comprende el uso de antibióticos, antivirales, hidratación y diuresis forzada, plaquetas y oxígeno hiperbárico. El condiloma acuminado del ano asociado al virus del papiloma humano es extremadamente raro en pacientes trasplantados (0,3-1,3 %). Se caracteriza por una masa que invade la región del ano produciendo dolor y sangramiento. El tratamiento de elección consiste en la resección quirúrgica del tumor. Objetivos: Describir las características clínicas, el manejo y la evolución de cistitis hemorrágica y condiloma acuminado anal en un receptor de trasplante hematopoyético haploidéntico. Presentación del caso: Paciente de 20 años de edad con diagnóstico de leucemia mieloide aguda que en el día + 21 del trasplante comenzó con hematuria macroscópica asociada a virus BK que resolvió con oxígeno hiperbárico. En el día +59 comenzó con dolor anal y se observó una masa perianal en forma de coliflor de aproximadamente 5 cm. Se diagnosticó condiloma acuminado del ano y se realizó resección quirúrgica del tumor con todo éxito. Conclusiones: Se presenta un caso único donde concurren cistitis hemorrágica y condiloma acuminado del ano después del trasplante hematopoyético haploidéntico. El manejo apropiado de estas dos patologías condujo a la evolución satisfactoria del paciente.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: La anemia aplásica es una enfermedad rara, potencialmente mortal sin diagnóstico y tratamiento temprano. El objetivo del estudio fue describir la epidemiología de la anemia aplásica en la población de 0 a 13 años a nivel nacional, atendida en el Hospital Nacional de Niños "Dr. Carlos Sáenz Herrera", de la Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social, único centro del país disponible para la atención en hematología pediátrica. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo de los pacientes atendidos en el Servicio de Hematología Pediátrica, con diagnóstico de anemia aplásica adquirida y las diversas formas de aplasias congénitas, en el periodo de enero 2006 a junio de 2016. Se registró el tipo de tratamiento recibido, su respuesta y la mortalidad asociada con la enfermedad, así como algunos datos epidemiológicos. Resultados: Se analizó un total de 27 casos, 23 con anemia aplásica adquirida y 4 con diversos tipos de anemias congénitas. La edad media al momento del diagnóstico fue de 81,7 meses, con una relación hombre: mujer de 1.1:1. De los 23 pacientes con anemia aplásica adquirida, 10 recibieron tratamiento con globulina antitimocito y presentaron respuesta a la globulina equina 2/5 pacientes como primera línea de tratamiento y 1 como segunda línea; con la globulina de conejo se obtuvo respuesta en 1/5 pacientes como primera línea y en 2 como segunda línea. Tres pacientes recibieron tratamiento con trasplante de médula ósea y presentaron una respuesta completa, sin evidenciar datos de enfermedad de injerto versus huésped u otras complicaciones al finalizar el estudio. No se logró demostrar diferencia significativa respecto al sexo, edad de diagnóstico, valores del hemograma, frecuencia de requerimiento de plaquetas o glóbulos rojos, grado de severidad ni mortalidad. Conclusión: Se confirmó la baja prevalencia de la anemia aplásica; la muestra obtenida durante el periodo analizado es pequeña y limita la observación de características relevantes ante referentes internacionales.


Abstract Objective: Aplastic anemia is a rare and life-threatening disease without diagnosis and early treatment. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiological characters of patients with aplastic anemia and 0-13 years old in Costa Rica, to treat in the Hospital Nacional de Niños Dr.Carlos Sáenz Herrera, CajaCostarricense de Seguro Social; only there offers Pediatric Hematology service. Methods: We performed an observational retrospective study, there including the patients diagnosed with both acquired aplastic anemia and inherited bone marrow failure syndromes from January 2006 to June 2016, regardless of sex or ethnicity. We evaluated the treatment received, the response to each treatment, and mortality associated with the disease. Results: An overall of 27 patients were included, 23 diagnosed with acquired aplastic anemia and, 4 with bone marrow failure syndrome. The mean age of diagnosis was 81.7 months, with a male to female ratio of 1.1:1. Of the 23 patients diagnosed with acquired aplastic anemia, 10 received immunosuppressive therapy with antithymocite globulin, with a response to horse globulin as a first line treatment in 2/5 patients, and 1 as a second line treatment. Patients with rabbit globulin showed to response in 1/5 cases when used as a first line treatment, and a response as a second line treatment after a no response treatment with horse globulin in 2/3 patients. Three patients treated with a matched related donor bone marrow transplant and showed complete response, without complications including graft versus host disease by the end of the study period. There was no statistical difference regarding sex, age of diagnosis, blood cell counts, frequency of blood product transfusions, degree of severity associated or, mortality. Conclusions: Our results confirm the low incidence of aplastic anemia, it's a little study population and has limited results of relevant characteristics and can´t compare with international studies.

ABSTRACT

Resumo: Os objetivos desta dissertação foram descrever o impacto do transplante de células tronco hematopoiéticas na qualidade de vida de pacientes transplantados e elaborar um vídeo com seus relatos, demonstrando as estratégias de enfrentamento da doença que possibilitaram melhorar sua qualidade de vida. Para sua estruturação procurou-se atender as recomendações do Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research, o que foi realizado em duas etapas: na primeira foi feita uma pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, com cinco participantes, de julho a agosto de 2017, em um hospital paranaense que é referência para este tipo de tratamento no Brasil. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevista semiestruturada, autoaplicada em suas residências e em formato de vídeo, com questões sobre a vivência da terapêutica. E, em seguida, tratados com a técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. Após, foi realizada a edição para a composição de um vídeo. Os resultados demonstraram que, nesse estudo, a idade para o transplante de células-tronco hematopoiéticas dos participantes variou entre 21 e 52 anos, e houve a predominância de diagnósticos de leucemias e anemia aplásica severa. Emergiram cinco categorias: o impacto do adoecimento na descoberta da doença; as dificuldades do tratamento e alterações na qualidade de vida; a família como o primeiro suporte no enfrentamento da doença; espiritualidade e religiosidade como estratégias de enfrentamento, e a superação e o sentimento de gratidão. A presente pesquisa concluiu que os impactos na percepção da qualidade de vida se deram nos âmbitos familiar, social, emocional e físico. E as estratégias de enfrentamento que o estudo mostrou foram o amparo e o acolhimento da família, a religiosidade e a espiritualidade.


Abstract: The objectives of this dissertation were to describe the impact of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on the quality of life of transplanted patients and to elaborate a video with their reports, demonstrating the overcoming strategies of the disease that enabled them to improve their quality of life. The purpose of this study was to meet the recommendations of the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research, which was carried out in two stages: a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study that was carried out with five participants from July to August 2017, in a hospital in Paraná considered a reference for this type of treatment in Brazil. The data were obtained through semi-structured interviews, self-applied in their homes and in video format, with questions about the experience of the therapy. And then selected and edited with the Content Analysis technique. Afterwards, editing was done for the composition of a video. The results showed that in the present study, the age for the transplantation of the hematopoietic stem cells of the participants ranged from 21 to 52 years old and there was a predominance of diagnoses of leukemia and severe aplastic anemia. Five categories emerged the impact of illness on the discovery of the disease; the difficulties of treatment and changes in quality of life; the family as the first support in coping with the disease; spirituality and religiosity as overcoming strategies, and the overcoming and feeling of gratitude. The present study concluded that the impacts on the perception of the quality of life occurred in the family, social, emotional and physical environments. And the coping strategies that the study showed were the shelter and shelter of the family, religiosity and spirituality.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: La infección del torrente sanguíneo es una complicación usual, que puede comprometer la vida de los pacientes que recibieron trasplante de precursores hematopoyéticos. Objetivo: Analizar las características de las infecciones del torrente sanguíneo en receptores de trasplante de precursores hematopoyéticos. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio observacional, retrospectivo. Se revisaron los registros de 451 pacientes (trasplantes autólogos y alogénicos), desde enero de 2009 a octubre de 2015. Resultados: Hubo 99 hemocultivos positivos en 73 pacientes con infección del torrente sanguíneo (16%). Mortalidad atribuible a causas infecciosas: 17%. De las 99 infecciones sanguíneas, 63% fueron provocados por bacilos gramnegativos (Escherichia coli 45%, Klebsiella spp 23%, Pseudomonas spp 11%, Acinetobacter spp 6% y otros bacilos gramnegativos 15%), 33% por cocáceas grampositivas, 3% por hongos y 1% por bacilos grampositivos. Se observó resistencia a ciprofloxacina (81%), piperacilina/tazobactam (48%), Enterobacteriaceae productoras de β-lactamasa de espectro extendido (BLEE) (40%), cefepime (39%) y ausencia de resistencia a amikacina. Discusión: Existe mayor frecuencia de infección por bacilos gramnegativos, con un importante porcentaje de aislados multi-resistentes, y consecuente, alta resistencia al tratamiento antimicrobiano empírico.

We reviewed the records of 451 patients (autologous and allogeneic transplants) from January 2009 to October 2015. Results: 99 positive blood cultures in 73 patients with bloodstream infection (16%) were found. Mortality attributable to infectious causes was 17%. From the 99 bloodstream infection, 63% were caused by gram-negative bacilli (Escherichia coli 45%, Klebsiella spp 23%, Pseudomonas spp 11% Acinetobacter spp % and other bacilli 15%), 33% by gram-positive cocci, 3% by fungi and 1% by gram-positive bacilli. The gram-negative bacilli were ciprofloxacin resistant (81%), piperacillin/tazobactam resistant (48%), extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae (40%), cefepime resistant (39%) and there was no resistance noted to amikacin. Discussion: There is a higher frequency of gram-negative bacilli infection, with a high percentage of multiresistant microorganisms and high resistance to empirical antibiotic treatment.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes adultos com câncer hematológico submetidos ao transplante de células-tronco hematopoéticas nos primeiros seis meses e comparar entre as modalidades de transplante. Método: estudo observacional, longitudinal, com 55 participantes, acompanhados nas etapas pré-transplante, pós 100 dias e pós 180 dias, em um hospital de ensino, referência no Brasil para este tratamento. Para avaliação foram utilizados dois instrumentos internacionais, ambos validados e traduzidos para a língua portuguesa (Brasil): Quality of Life Questionnarie-Core 30 e Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy-Bone Marrow Transplantation. Resultados: os resultados evidenciaram que a média de idade dos participantes foi de 36 anos, 65% (n=36) possuem diagnóstico de leucemia e 71% (n=39) foram submetidos ao transplante alogênico. Quanto ao instrumento Quality of Life Questionnarie-Core 30, foram resultados significantes a função social e fadiga, e no questionário Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy-Bone Marrow Transplantation os domínios bem-estar funcional e índice de avaliação de resultado do tratamento foram significantes entre a primeira e a segunda etapa. Conclusões: apesar do transplante ser um tratamento complexo e agressivo, percebe-se que os pacientes consideram sua qualidade de vida geral satisfatória ao longo do processo terapêutico. Os achados do estudo evidenciam que uma parcela significativa, 69% dos pacientes, recupera sua qualidade de vida após os primeiros seis meses de tratamento.

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the quality of life of adult patients with hematologic cancers undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the first six months and comparing the transplant modalities. Method: an observational longitudinal study with 55 participants followed during pre-transplantation, after 100 days, and after 180 days in a reference teaching hospital for this treatment in Brazil. Two international instruments were used for the evaluation, both validated and translated into Portuguese (Brazil): The Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 and the Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy-Bone Marrow Transplantation. Results: The results showed that the average age of the participants was 36 years old; 65% (n=36) had a diagnosis of leukemia, and 71% (n=39) underwent allogeneic transplantation. Regarding the Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 instrument, social function and fatigue were significant results, while the functional well-being and treatment outcome evaluation index for the Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy-Bone Marrow Transplantation questionnaire had significant domains between the first and the second stage. Conclusions: despite transplantation being a complex and aggressive treatment, it can be noticed that patients generally perceive their quality of life as satisfactory throughout the therapeutic process. The findings of the study show that a significant portion (69% of patients) recover their quality of life after the first six months of treatment.

ABSTRACT

Cryptococcosis is caused by several Cryptococcus species, including C. neoformans and C. gattii. Skin involvement is seen in 10~20% of systemic cryptococcosis. There are also rare cases of primary cutaneous cryptococcosis in which skin-penetrating trauma is the alleged mechanism of infection. A 16-year-old male presented with multiple, 0.2~0.3 cm-sized, brownish papules on the whole body for 2 weeks. He had past history of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and received bone marrow transplant 1 year ago. After leukemia had recurred 1 month ago and after chemotherapy, multiple brownish papules developed. Histopathologic examinations revealed narrow-based budding yeasts in hematoxylin and eosin, Periodic acid-Schiff, and Gomori methenamine silver stains. Also in mucicarmine stain there were pink-colored capsules around the cell walls. Finally it was diagnosed as deep fungal infection due to Cryptococcus species. In spite of administrating fluconazole, the patient expired due to respiratory failure caused by pneumonia. Herein, we report a case of Cryptococcus species infection in a bone marrow transplant patient.

ABSTRACT

Background & objectives: This study was aimed to report the occurrence of ocular graft versus host disease (oGVHD) in allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) patients in a tertiary care hospital setting. Methods: A cross-sectional study of ocular surface of allo-HSCT patients was done. Slit lamp biomicroscopy, symptom score, tear meniscus height, fluorescein tear break-up time, Schirmer’s test I, ocular surface staining, dry eye severity, ocular surface disease index score were done. Indications for allo-HSCT, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching, GVHD risk factor, systemic manifestation and treatment were also noted. Results: GVHD occurred in 44.4 per cent of 54 allo-HSCT patients (mean age 26.7 ± 12 yr) included in the study. GVHD risk factors identified included female gender, relapse, older age of donor, cytomagelo virus (CMV) reactivation, and multiparous female donors. oGVHD was noted in 31.5 per cent with mean time to occurrence being 17.8 ± 21.9 months after the allo-HSCT and was observed in 89.5 per cent of chronic GVHD cases. Acute GVHD (oral and dermatological) involvement showed a significant association with GVHD in our patients (P< 0.001, 0R 23.0, CI 6.4-82.1). Chronic GVHD was observed to be associated with the occurrence of oGVHD (dry eye) (P<0.001, OR = 24.0, CI 0.02 - 0.29). Of the 34 eyes with oGHVD, dry eye of level 3 severity was seen in 16, level 2 in six, level 1 in 12 eyes. Interpretation & conclusions: GVHD occurred in 44.4 per cent of the patients studied in the present study. Acute and chronic GVHD showed a strong association with oGVHD. Dry eye disease due to chronic oGVHD was observed in 17 (31.5%) of 54 allo-HSCT patient with chronic oGVHD occurring in 17 (89.4%) of chronic GVHD cases in allo-HSCT patients. Our study on oGVHD in post allo-HSCT patients in tertiary care centre points towards the fact that ocular morbidity due to dry eye disease as a result of oGVHD is a cause for concern in these patients.

ABSTRACT

Fanconi Anemia is a recessive and rare genetic disorder, characterized by chromosomal instability that induces congenital alterations in individuals. Aplastic anemia due to the progressive failure of the bone marrow, malignant neoplasias such as acute myeloid leukemia, liver tumors and squamous cell carcinoma are some of the possible evolutions of Fanconi Anemia. Some of these diseases develop mainly after bone marrow transplantation. The aim of this critical review of the literature was to discourse about the main oral manifestations and their involvement in the health of individuals who are ill with Fanconi Anemia. The clinical oral findings described in the literature include periodontal changes, such as gingivitis and aggressive periodontitis, recurrent aphthous ulcers and traumatic lesions. Papillary atrophy, macroglossia, melanic pigmentation and squamous cell carcinoma are the most common oral manifestations on the tongue. An increased risk for the development of malignant neoplasias in individuals with Fanconi Anemia has been reported, and this is progressive after bone marrow transplantation. In radiographs, dental anomalies such as the presence of supernumerary teeth, tooth agenesis, tooth rotation and transposition of teeth are observed. Salivary flow and some salivary components are also altered. Due to the increased susceptibility to the development of cancer in this specific population, it is important for the dentist to know the common oral manifestations and potentially cancerous lesions, in order to make an early diagnosis in individuals with Fanconi Anemia.


A Anemia de Fanconi é uma desordem genética recessiva e rara caracterizada por uma instabilidade cromossômica que induz a alterações congênitas nos indivíduos. Anemia aplásica pela falência progressiva da medula óssea, neoplasias malignas como leucemia mielóide aguda, tumores de fígado e carcinoma espinocelular, são algumas das possíveis evoluções da Anemia de Fanconi. Algumas dessas doenças desenvolvem-se principalmente após o transplante de medula óssea. O objetivo desta revisão crítica da literatura é discorrer sobre as principais manifestações bucais e sua implicação na saúde dos indivíduos doentes da Anemia de Fanconi. Os achados clínicos bucais descritos na literatura incluem alterações periodontais, como gengivite e periodontite agressiva; úlcera aftosa recorrente e lesão traumática. A atrofia papilar, macroglossia, pigmentação melânica e o carcinoma espinocelular são as manifestações bucais mais comuns na língua. Um aumento do risco ao desenvolvimento de neoplasias malignas em indivíduos com Anemia de Fanconi é relatado, sendo este progressivo após o transplante de medula óssea. Nas radiografias são observadas anomalias dentárias como a presença de supranumerários, agenesias dentárias, giroversão e transposição dentária. O fluxo salivar e alguns componentes salivares também estão alterados. Devido à suscetibilidade aumentada ao desenvolvimento do câncer nessa população específica, torna-se importante para o cirurgião dentista conhecer as manifestações bucais comuns e as lesões cancerizáveis para realizar um diagnóstico precoce nos indivíduos com Anemia de Fanconi.

ABSTRACT

Aim: The objective was to describe an outbreak of bloodstream infections by Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) in bone marrow transplant and hematology outpatients. Methods: On February 15, 2008 a Bcc outbreak was suspected. 24 cases were identified. Demographic and clinical data were evaluated. Environment and healthcare workers' (HCW) hands were cultured. Species were determined and typed. Reinforcement of hand hygiene, central venous catheter (CVC) care, infusion therapy, and maintenance of laminar flow cabinet were undertaken. 16 different HCWs had cared for the CVCs. Multi-dose heparin and saline were prepared on counter common to both units. Findings: 14 patients had B. multivorans (one patient had also B. cenopacia), six non-multivorans Bcc and one did not belong to Bcc. Clone A B. multivorans occurred in 12 patients (from Hematology); in 10 their CVC had been used on February 11/12. Environmental and HCW cultures were negative. All patients were treated with meropenem, and ceftazidime lock-therapy. Eight patients (30%) were hospitalized. No deaths occurred. After control measures (multidose vial for single patient; CVC lock with ceftazidime; cleaning of laminar flow cabinet; hand hygiene improvement; use of cabinet to store prepared medication), no new cases occurred. Conclusions: This polyclonal outbreak may be explained by a common source containing multiple species of Bcc, maybe the laminar flow cabinet common to both units. There may have been contamination by B. multivorans (clone A) of multi-dose vials.


O objetivo foi descrever um surto de infecções da corrente sanguínea por complexo B. cepacia (Bcc) nos ambulatórios de hematologia e transplante de medula óssea. Métodos: Em 15/02/2008, um surto de Bcc foi suspeitado. 24 casos foram identificados. Os dados demográficos e clínicos foram avaliados. Mãos de profissionais da saúde e ambiente foram cultivadas. Espécies foram determinadas e tipadas. Reforço da higiene das mãos, cuidados com cateteres, terapia de infusão e manutenção da câmara de fluxo laminar foram realizadas. 16 profissionais de saúde (PS) diferentes manipularam os cateteres. Heparina multidoses e soro eram preparadas em um balcão comum a ambas as unidades. Resultados: 14 pacientes tiveram B. multivorans (um paciente teve também B. cenopacia), 6 Bcc não-multivorans e um teve um agente não pertencente a Bcc. Clone A de B. multivorans ocorreu em 12 pacientes (da Hematologia), em 10 o cateter havia sido utilizado nos dias 11 ou 12 de fevereiro. Culturas ambientais e de PS foram negativos. Todos os pacientes foram tratados com meropenem e selo de ceftazidima. Oito pacientes (30%) foram hospitalizados. Não ocorreram mortes. Após as medidas de controle, nenhum novo caso ocorreu. Conclusões: Este surto policlonal pode ser explicado por uma fonte comum contendo várias espécies de Bcc, talvez a câmara de fluxo laminar comum a ambas as unidades. Pode ter havido contaminação por B. multivorans (clone A) de frascos multi-dose.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender como o processo de luto antecipatório se instala em pacientes a serem submetidos ao Transplante de Células Tronco-hematopéticas (TCTH). Foi realizado um estudo transversal, na abordagem clínico-qualitativa. Amostra de 17 pacientes, a maioria mulheres casadas, entre 20 e 42 anos de idade e diagnóstico de Leucemia Mieloide Crônica. Dados coletados por um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturada, aplicado individualmente e submetidos à análise de conteúdo temática. Os resultados indicam que a perda da saúde impõe um luto em uma história de vida já permeada por privações e perdas prematuras. Constatou-se que as reações esperadas frente ao luto normal foram expressas pelos participantes e que a estratégia de enfrentamento privilegiada foi o apego à fé. Os planos futuros envolviam alcançar a cura, retorno à normalidade e reinserção profissional. Os resultados podem auxiliar as equipes multiprofissionais a compreenderem as implicações emocionais do adoecimento/tratamento para implantação de estratégias preventivas e interventivas. Como pontos críticos, a equipe deve atentar para a forma de comunicar o diagnóstico e a possibilidade de traçar um plano terapêutico que mantenha vivo o espírito de luta do paciente, reforçando o elo de confiança com os profissionais de saúde.


The scope of this study was to understand how the process of anticipated grieving is imbued in patients undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT). A cross-sectional clinical-qualitative study was conducted on a sample of 17 patients, mostly women, married, aged between 20 and 42 years and diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. Data was collected by semi-structured interviews applied individually and subjected to thematic content analysis. The results indicate that the loss of health imposes a new challenge in a life history already permeated by great hardships and premature losses. It was found that the expected reactions faced with normal grieving were expressed by the participants and that the most prevalent coping strategy was holding steadfast to their faith. Future plans involved being healed, returning to normality and vocational rehabilitation. The results may help the multidisciplinary teams to understand the emotional implications of the illness/treatment for implementing both preventive and intervention strategies. The critical aspect is that staff must be attentive as to how to communicate the diagnosis and the possibility of outlining a therapeutic plan, in order to augment the fighting spirit of the patient and strengthen the bond of trust with health professionals.

ABSTRACT

This study sought to investigate the significance of death for doctors who work with terminally ill patients in the Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) context. The research was based on a qualitative, methodological and collective case study approach, and used Dejours' psychodynamics of work as a theoretical framework. Five practitioners linked to a Bone Marrow Transplant Unit in a university hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, participated in the research. A semi-structured script was applied which addressed the personal, academic and professional experiences elicited by a terminal situation. Data were organized into two categories: "Work and professional identity: the doctor's battle against death" and "Vocation and medical training: it all beggins at home." The results show that, in the medical and hospital context, death is almost always reduced to technical rationality and this must be avoided at all costs. The significances attributed to death are rooted in the values of contemporary society and subjectively perceived through the physician's life trajectory and academic training, which influence how these professionals experience the dying process of the patients.


Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar o significado da morte para médicos que atuam com pacientes em condição crítica no contexto do Transplante de Medula Óssea (TMO). A pesquisa foi fundamentada no enfoque metodológico qualitativo e no estudo de caso coletivo, e utilizou o referencial teórico da psicodinâmica do trabalho. Participaram os cinco médicos vinculados a uma Unidade de TMO de um hospital universitário do interior paulista. Aplicou-se um roteiro semiestruturado, que abordava as vivências pessoais, acadêmicas e profissionais suscitadas pela situação de terminalidade. Os dados foram sistematizados nas categorias: "Trabalho e identidade profissional: a peleja do médico contra a morte" e "Vocação e formação médica: tudo começa em casa". Os resultados mostram que, no âmbito médico-hospitalar, a morte é quase sempre reduzida à racionalidade tecnicista e por isso deve ser combatida a qualquer custo. As significações atribuídas à morte são ancoradas nos valores da sociedade contemporânea e subjetivadas nos percursos e percalços enfrentados pelo médico ao longo de sua história de vida e na formação acadêmica, que influenciam o modo como os profissionais vivenciam o processo do morrer dos pacientes.

ABSTRACT

Las cédulas madres y hematopoyéticas son células indiferenciadas con una amplia capacidad de proliferación y de autorrenovación; están presentes en medula ósea (1%-3%) y en sangre (0,1%), identificándose por la expresión del marcador CD34. Pueden ser movilizadas desde la médula ósea a la sangre después de quimioterapia o con citoquinas, En este estudio se identificaron células madres en sangre de fetos, neonatos y adultos. Se analizaron 278 muestras de sangre de fetos de 17-32 semanas, neonatos, y en productos de aféresis de células madres de pacientes con enfermedades malignas. La cantidad de células CD34 ± disminuyó con el aumento de la edad gestacional de 6,10% a 1,03%. De estas células se obtuvo la formación de colonias granulocíticas y eritrocíticas en cultivos. En sangre de cordón se obtuvieron 0,86 ± 0,33% células CD34+. Se analizan las indicaciones y resultado de trasplantes de médula ósea y de sangre de cordón en diferentes patologías. Hasta ahora no existe indicación médica para el uso de células madres autólogas de sangre de cordón en leucemias infantiles, ni en enfermedades genéticas. En infarto del miocardio no se han obtenido resultados satisfactorios con los protocolos clínicos evaluados, mientras que en daño neurológico, el uso de células madres permanece todavía como una aproximación experimental.


Hematopoietic stem cells are undifferentiated cells with high proliferative rate and autorenovation; they are found in bone marrow (1%-3%) and blood (0.1%), being identified by the expression of the marker CD34. They may be mobilized from bone marrow (B.M.) into the blood after chemotherapy or cytokine treatment. In this study, stem cells were identified in fetal and adult blood. Two hundred and seventy eigh blood samples were analyzed; they were obtained from fetuses (17-32 weeks-old), neonates, and in the products from apheresis performed to patients with malignancies. The amount of CD34+ cells decreased as the gestational age increased (6.10% to 1.03%). These cells grew in culture to produce granulocytic and erytrocytic colonies. In cord blood CD34+ cell were identified (0,86% ± 0,33%). Indications and results of bone marrow and cord blood stem cell transplants in different pathologies are analyzed. The transplant of allogeneic cord blood stem cells in patients not having a compatible donor is the worldwide approved indication for this procedure. No satisfactory results has been obtained in cases of myocardial infarct. The treatment of neurological damage remains experimental.

ABSTRACT

O Transplante de Células-Tronco Hematopoiéticas é um procedimento que gera múltiplos sofrimentos ao paciente e seus familiares. Este estudo analisa as mudanças ocorridas nos papéis ocupacionais de pacientes submetidos ao transplante, na sua fase tardia (a partir de um ano pós-transplante), atendidos em um hospital universitário terciário, de grande porte, localizado no interior de São Paulo. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, baseado na aplicação de um protocolo internacional validado no Brasil - Lista de Identificação de Papéis Ocupacionais. A casuística é composta por 52 sujeitos, sendo 26 do grupo de estudo e 26 do grupo-controle. Através da análise comparativa entre os grupos, constataram-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os papéis ocupacionais de trabalhador, voluntário, amigo e participante em organizações. Concluiu-se que, passada a fase crítica pós-transplante, embora tenham ocorrido perdas, as pessoas transplantadas de medula óssea mudaram sua vida ocupacional, tendo resgatado ou mudado seus papéis ocupacionais


The transplant of hematopoietic stem-cells is a procedure that causes a lot of distress to the patient and family. This study analyses the changes occurred in the occupational roles of patients that have undergone transplants, in the late stage, assisted in a considerable university hospital located in the interior of the State of Sao Paulo. It is a quantitative research based on the use of an international protocol validated in Brazil: The Occupational Role Checklist. The survey consists of 52 subjects: 26 of the experimental group and 26 of the control group. Through the comparative analysis between the groups, statistically significant differences were observed between the occupational roles of workers, volunteers, friends and participants in organizations. It was possible to conclude that, after the critic stage right after transplant, although they have experienced some losses, the bone marrow transplanted subjects changed their occupational lives, having resumed or changed their occupational roles

ABSTRACT

Estudo qualitativo buscou compreender as vivências de adultos submetidos ao transplante de medula óssea autólogo e identificar as implicações no cotidiano dos sujeitos que o vivenciam. Foram realizadas entrevistas orientadas por roteiro semiestruturado, com sete adultos transplantados residentes em um município do interior de Minas Gerais e que tiveram alta entre de outubro de 2004 e setembro de 2010. Evidenciaram-se questões relativas às implicações no cotidiano das pessoas com mudanças na vida após o transplante de medula óssea. Após a análise de conteúdo temática surgiram três categorias empíricas: Afastamento do trabalho; Estado de vigília: preocupação constante com recidivas após a alta e Reestruturação da vida após o transplante de medula óssea - ressignificações do existir. Conclui-se que é necessária a incorporação de condutas profissionais permeadas de adaptação, utilizando-se diferentes estratégias, como criatividade, emoção e, sobretudo, saber científico.


This qualitative study sought to understand the experiences of adults who had submitted to autologous bone marrow transplant and to identify the implications for daily routines in the individuals who had gone through it. Interviews were undertaken, guided by a semi-structured script, with seven adult inpatients who had undergone the transplant, in a country town in the state of Minas Gerais, and who had been discharged between October 2004 and September 2010. Evidence was found for questions relevant to implications for daily routines of the people, with changes in life after the bone marrow transplant. After thematic content analysis, three empirical categories emerged: Withdrawal from work; Sleeplessness: Constant worry about relapses after discharge and Restructuring of one's life after bone marrow transplant - redefining existing. It is concluded that it is necessary to incorporate thoroughly adaptive professional conduct, using different strategies such as creativity, emotion and, above all, scientific knowledge.
