ABSTRACT

La colestasis neonatal es la forma de presentación de diversas enfermedades; es necesario un diagnóstico etiológico temprano, ya que el tratamiento antes de los 60 días de vida cambia el pronóstico en los niños que presentan atresia biliar. La toxoplasmosis congénita puede ser asintomática en el recién nacido, o presentar fundamentalmente alteraciones neurológicas, oftalmológicas y hepáticas (hepatomegalia, ictericia no colestásica). La colestasis neonatal secundaria a toxoplasmosis congénita no es una situación informada con frecuencia. Se presenta el caso de un lactante con colestasis neonatal cuya etiología responde a una toxoplasmosis congénita, con el objetivo de discutir las difcultades en establecer el diagnóstico etiológico y las indicaciones de realizar estudios invasivos, como la biopsia hepática, en estas situaciones.


Neonatal cholestasis is the manifestation of many different diseases. Its early etiological diagnosis is crucial, since treatment before 60 days of life changes the prognosis in children with biliary atresia. Congenital toxoplasmosis can be asymptomatic in the newborn, or have mainly neurological, ophthalmological or gastrointestinal symptoms (hepatomegaly, cholestatic jaundice). Neonatal cholestasis secondary to congenital toxoplasmosis is not a situation frequently reported. We report the case of an infant with neonatal cholestasis due to a congenital toxoplasmosis, in order to discuss the diffculties in establishing the etiological diagnostic and to review the indications of invasive studies such as liver biopsy in these situations.

ABSTRACT

Biliary and duodenal aspirates were collected from 60 patients to detect Cryptosporidium parvum [C. parvum] and microsporidial species in obstructive biliary diseases. Patients were classified into three groups: Group I, benign obstructive biliary diseases [30 cases]; Group II, malignant obstructive biliary diseases [30 cases] and Group III, ten normal persons served as controls. C. parvum oocysts were detected in higher percentage in malignant obstructive biliary diseases than benign obstructive biliary diseases, but no oocysts were detected in stool samples. Microspora was also detected in higher percentage in group II than group I. Concerning types of obstructive biliary diseases in benign type, C. parvum and microspora were detected with a higher percentage in calcular type than stricture or dyskinesia. In malignant obstructive group, a higher percentage of C. parvum oocysts was detected in carcinoma of biliary tree

ABSTRACT

A middle aged woman presented with obstructive jaundice of 6 months duration. Radiological investigations revealed multiple pyogenic liver abscesses with the possibility of choledocholithiasis. Exploration of common bile duct revealed that Fasciola hepatica was responsible for the illness. The case is reported because of its rarity.

ABSTRACT

La Fasciola hepática es un tremátodo que infesta accidentalmente al ser humano cuando éste ingiere plantas acuáticas y aguas contaminadas por el parásito. A pesar de que su localización natural en el hombre son las vías biliares, son poco frecuentes las manifestaciones clínicas de colangitis y pancreatitis agudas. En algunos países, el ganado ovino y bovino está infestado entre el 10 y el 90% por lo que se han producido brotes epidémicos de fascioliasis controlados adecuadamente. En nuestro país se han informado 16 casos de fascioliasis coledociana desde 1955 en que se comunicó el primer caso. La rareza de la entidad y la ausencia de manifestaciones clínicas características de la parasitosis hacen que el diagnóstico preoperatorio sea ocasional. En este artículo se informan tres casos que clínicamente experimentaron manifestaciones de obstrucción biliar y uno de ellos además, un cuadro grave de abscesos hepáticos múltiples. Se hace referencia a los métodos diagnósticos de esta parasitosis así como de su tratamiento médico y quirúrgico
