ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to clarify the rate of late diagnosis of HIV infection and to identify relationships between the reasons for HIV testing and a late diagnosis. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study was conducted among HIV-positive patients at the Jikei University Hospital between 2001 and 2014. Patient characteristics from medical records, including age, sex, sexuality, the reason for HIV testing and the number of CD4-positive lymphocytes at HIV diagnosis, were assessed. RESULTS: A total of 459 patients (men, n=437; 95.2%) were included in this study and the median age at HIV diagnosis was 36 years (range, 18-71 years). Late (CD4 cell count <350/mm3) and very late (CD4 cell count <200/mm3) diagnoses were observed in 61.4% (282/459) and 36.6% (168/459) of patients, respectively. The most common reason for HIV diagnosis was voluntary testing (38.6%, 177/459 patients), followed by AIDS-defining illness (18.3%, 84/459 patients). Multivariate analysis revealed a significant association of voluntary HIV testing with non-late and non-very-late diagnoses and there was a high proportion of AIDS-defining illness in the late and very late diagnosis groups compared with other groups. Men who have sex with men was a relative factor for non-late diagnosis, whereas nonspecific abnormal blood test results, such as hypergammaglobulinemia and thrombocytopenia, were risk factors for very late diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: Voluntary HIV testing should be encouraged and physicians should screen all patients who have symptoms or signs and particularly hypergammaglobulinemia and thrombocytopenia, that may nonspecifically indicate HIV infection.

ABSTRACT

El síndrome de Hiper EgE (SHIE) es una rara inmunodeficiencia caracterizada por abscesos cutáneos, neumonías recurrentes, conformación de neumatoceles y elevados niveles de IgE en suero. Se ha reconocido la asociación de rasgos faciales, esqueléticos y dentales, pero su frecuencia es poco conocida. Objetivo: describir la epidemiología, presentación clínica, hallazgos de laboratorio y tratamiento de este síndrome desde el punto de vista médico y odontológico, con énfasis en las manifestaciones estomatológicas y dentales. Métodos. Métodos: realizamos una revisión científica sistemática de todos los reporte y series de casos de SHIE en las bases de datos Lilacs, Medline, SciELO y Biblioteca Cochrane, utilizando como descriptores DeCS/MeSH las palabras claves: hyper IgE AND immunodeficiency, hypereosinophilia, Job´s syndrome, hiperinmunoglobulinemia E. Resultados: revisamos 31 publicaciones con 328 pacientes. Los abscesos cutáneos se encontraron en 89 pior ciento de los casos, la neumonía en el 87 por ciento y la IgE sérica dio una mediana de 3.417 Ul/mL. Los rasgos faciales característicos estuvieron en el 69 por ciento, las alteraciones dentarias en 58 por ciento y la candidiasis oral fue reportada en 53 por ciento de los pacientes. Conclusión: el síndrome de IgE es un desorden multisistémico que afecta a la dentición, el esqueleto, el tejido conectivo y el sistema inmune. Por esto, el odontopediatra debe ser capaz de reconocer el fenotipo orofacial para mejorar la calidad del diagnóstico y brindar el abordaje terapéutico apropiado...
