ABSTRACT

Se hizo un estudio prospectivo de pacientes sometidos a terapia corticoesteroidea por diversas causas, con el objeto de evaluar la integridad del eje hipotálamo-hipofisiario-suprarrenal. Cuatro pacientes habían recibido terapia corticoesteroidea a corto plazo (menor o igual a una semana). 6 pacientes, terapia intermedia (entre 1 y 2 semanas) y 20 pacientes recibieron terapia corticoesteroidea a tiempo prolongado (mayor a 6 semanas). Se describe el tipo de inhibición del eje hipotálamo-hipofisiario-suprarrenal, y se hizo un seguimiento en aquellos pacientes inhibidos a quienes se pudo descontinuar la terapia corticoesteroidea. Con respecto a la inhibición del eje hipotálamo-hipofisiario-suprarrenal nos encontramos lo siguiente: 12 casos (un 40%) tenían niveles normales de cortisol basal; mientras que los 18 pacientes restantes, (un 60%) mostraron niveles plasmáticos de cortisol basal bajo, luego de suspendido el tratamiento. Se observó que el mayor número de pacientes inhibidos corresponden al grupo que recibió tratamiento corticoesteroideo prolongado, (mayor a 6 semanas)

ABSTRACT

Fifty three adult patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) were diagnosed at the University District Hospital (UDH) during the last 10 years (1976-1986). There were 33 females (62%) and 20 males (38%). All the patients were over 15 years old with a mean age of 3o years. Only 13 patients gave a history of a viral syndrome preceding the onset of symptoms. The most frequent chief complaint was petechiae and/or ecchymotic lesions. The mean initial platelet count was 10,000/mm. Bone marrow aspiration showed an increased number of megakaryocytes without platelet production in 49 patients (86%). Of the fifty three patients, 37 (70%) had a complete response to steroids. Of those not responding to steroids, 15 underwent splenectomy and 11 (73%) achieved a permanent response. Immunosupresion was prescribed in 4 patients with a 50% complete response
