ABSTRACT

La rinoplastia es una de las intervenciones más comunes en cirugía plástica. Se opera aquí una rinoplastia secundaria por vía abierta injertando los alares y la punta con cartílagos auriculares, mientras el tabique cartilaginoso fue usado para los spreader grafts. Se describe aquí una infección posoperatoria de su punta nasal. Al 9no día de su posoperatorio comienza con la punta nasal congestiva y levemente inflamada. Se medica con una crema con antibióticos, pero el día 14 aparece con la punta nasal muy inflamada y con colección. Cuando en el consultorio el cirujano la ve, como cualquier absceso, decide realizarle drenaje con un trocar 18G, 3 miniincisiones en la piel debajo de la punta nasal, de la que drena un líquido amarronado. Luego con el mismo trocar se realiza un lavado dentro de la cavidad con rifampicina solución. Se medica con trimetoprima-sulfametoxazol (Bactrimforte®) 2 comp/día. Al otro día se observa una notable mejoría. Se continuó con lavado diario durante 4 días con el mismo antibiótico evolucionando rápidamente bien. El Bactrim se lo continúa por 20 días. Al mes la punta nasal está muy bien, deshinchada con cicatrices apenas visibles. A los cuatro meses, la punta está muy blanda, las alas nasales y las narinas normales, la punta con buena proyección igual que el dorso con los spreader graft.


Rhinoplasty is one of the most common interventions in plastic surgery. A secondary open rhinoplasty was carried out grafting the allae and the tip of the nose with conchae cartilage, while the septum was used for spreader grafts. We are here describing this post operatory with a tip of the nose infection.In the control, at the 9th postoperative day, the nasal tip began to be congested and at the 14th post op day the patient showed a clear inflammatory collection. In the office, the surgeon decided to evacuate it with three punctureslike little incisions at the inferior part of the skin tip with a trocar 18G. Through them, drained brownish purulent secretion. With the same trocar, rifampicin solution was injected through these little incisions, like washing the subdermal area. It was medicated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim forte®) 2 tablets/day. The following day, there was a clear improvement in the congestion and erythema of the nose. This procedure of washing was repeated for four days. There was a quick evolution of the inflammatory process and 20 more days, there was no sign of the infection. Four months later, the tip of the nose was soft and the result was considered optimal by the patient and doctors.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Cada vez es más frecuente la atención médica en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) de niños o adolescentes inmigrantes como también de aquellos nacidos en nuestro país con padres en tal condición. Esto ha ocasionado, en la actualidad, que el equipo de salud se deba enfrentar con problemas diagnósticos derivados del escaso conocimiento de condiciones genéticas propias de esta población y/o el desarrollo de diversas patologías infrecuentes en nuestro país, algunas resultantes de su condi ción sanitaria. En esta revisión se abordan diversos aspectos de la patología hematológica, infecciosa, parasitaria, respiratoria y cardiovascular, todos tópicos relevantes de conocer durante su estadía en la UCI. Es un deber del equipo de salud actualizarse sobre patologías de baja prevalencia en nuestro país, algunas de ellas muy poco conocidas hasta hace una década, pero que, actualmente, están cada vez más presentes en las UCI del sistema de salud público chileno.


Abstract: It is increasingly common to provide medical care in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for immigrant children and adolescents as well as those born in Chile with parents in such condition. Currently, this has caused that the health team has to face diverse infrequent pathologies in our country and/ or diagnostic problems derive from the poor knowledge of genetic conditions of this population, some resulting from their health conditions. This review addresses several aspects of hematological, infectious, parasitic, respiratory, and cardiovascular pathologies, all relevant topics to know during their stay in the ICU. It is a duty of the health team to be updated on pathologies of low prevalence in our country, some of them very little known until a decade ago, but which are currently increasingly present in the ICUs of the Chilean public health system.

ABSTRACT

Nas últimas décadas, o aumento das indicações para dispositivos cardíacos eletrônicos implantáveis tem sido acompanhado pela elevação dos casos de complicações relacionadas ao seu uso, dentre elas a endocardite infecciosa. Apesar dos avanços diagnósticos e terapêuticos da doença, esta mantém elevada morbimortalidade. Os casos relacionados aos dispositivos apresentam importantes limitações referentes aos critérios e aos métodos diagnósticos que implicam na tomada de decisão terapêutica sobre retirada do dispositivo, com risco de morte e outras complicações. Ainda assim, o ecocardiograma mantém um grande valor no diagnóstico da endocardite infecciosa relacionada a dispositivos cardíacos e de suas complicações. O entendimento das limitações e dos desafios acerca do diagnóstico reforça a necessidade de mais estudos sobre do tema. O presente artigo visa descrever a epidemiologia, a microbiologia, os fatores de risco, a patogenia, o diagnóstico e o tratamento da endocardite infecciosa associada aos dispositivos cardíacos eletrônicos implantáveis, visando demonstrar, principalmente, o valor dos exames de imagem na abordagem dessa condição clínica, com ênfase nos achados ao ecocardiograma.


In recent decades, the increase in indications for implantable electronic cardiac devices has been accompanied by an increase in cases of complications related to their use, including infectious endocarditis. Despite the diagnostic and therapeutic advances of the disease, it maintains high morbidity and mortality. The cases related to the devices have important limitations regarding the criteria and diagnostic methods that imply in making a therapeutic decision about removing the device, with risk of death and other complications. Still, echocardiography remains of great value in the diagnosis of infective endocarditis related to cardiac devices and their complications. Understanding the limitations and challenges regarding diagnosis reinforces the need for further studies on the topic. This article aims to describe the epidemiology, microbiology, risk factors, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of infective endocarditis associated with implantable electronic cardiac devices, aiming to demonstrate, mainly, the value of imaging tests in addressing this clinical condition , with emphasis on echocardiogram findings.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Varias de las enfermedades agudas con etiología infecciosa (viral, bacteriana o parasitaria) cursan inicialmente con un síndrome que puede ser febril, febril ictérico, febril hemorrágico, febril con manifestaciones respiratorias, febril con compromisio neurológico, febril con erupciones dérmicas, febril anémico, o pueden ocurrir muertes de pacientes febriles sin un diagnóstico definido, con algunas variantes según el nicho ecológico-social en el que se dan; es importante el enfoque sindrómico, para luego tipificar el caso o el brote y así tener un diagnóstico adecuado y oportuno que permita orientar tanto el manejo individual como las medidas de prevención y control en la población, aun cuando haya limitaciones para el diagnóstico de todos los casos. En este artículo se describe el enfoque sindrómico, los síndromes de importancia en salud pública (colectiva) y su abordaje, todo ello es importante por su presentación en brotes que vienen ocurriendo en los variados nichos ecológicos de nuestro país, exacerbados por el cambio climático.


ABSTRACT Several of the acute diseases with infectious etiology (viral, bacterial or parasitic) initially start with a syndrome which can be febrile, febrile icteric, febrile hemorrhagic, febrile with respiratory manifestations, febrile with neurological impairment, febrile with dermal eruptions, febrile anemic, diarrheal, necrotic cutaneous ulcer, or deaths of febrile patients may occur without a defined diagnosis, with some variants according to the ecological-social niche in which they occur; the syndromic approach is important, to quickly classify the case or the outbreak and thus have an appropriate and timely diagnosis that allows to orient both the individual management and the prevention and control measures in the population, even if there are limitations for the diagnosis of all the cases. This article describes the syndromic approach, the syndromes of importance in public health (collective) and their approach, all this is important because of its presentation in outbreaks that are occurring in the various ecological niches of our country, exacerbated by climate change.

ABSTRACT

A despeito da utilização de profilaxia antibiótica, tanto nos implantes iniciais como nos procedimentos de reoperação, as taxas de infecção relacionada aos dispositivos cardíacos eletrônicos implantáveis têm aumentadoprogressivamente, causando impacto na mortalidade e custos hospitalares. O tratamento de processos infecciososrelacionados aos dispositivos cardíacos eletrônicos implantáveis consiste na remoção completa do sistema deestimulação cardíaca, associada a terapia antimicrobiana sistêmica e reimplante de um novo dispositivo cardíaco. Neste artigo, relatamos o caso clínico de paciente com infecção na loja do gerador de pulsos sem evidênciasde infecção intravascular. O implante de marcapasso atrioventricular epicárdico subxifoide foi utilizado como estratégia para diminuir o risco de contaminação do novo sistema e facilitar a remoção transvenosa dos eletrodos antigos abandonados sob melhores condições técnicas...


Despite the use of antibiotic prophylaxis at the time of cardiac implantable electronic device implantation or reoperations, rates of cardiac implantable electronic device-related infection have increasedprogressively causing an impact on mortality and treatment costs. The treatment of cardiac implantable electronic device-related infections demands a complete removal of the infected device followed by systemic antimicrobial therapy and reimplantation of a new system. In this article, we report the case of a patient with pulse generator pocket infection without evidence of intravascular infection. Epicardial atrioventricular pacemaker implant through subxiphoid approach was used as a strategy to decrease the risk of contamination of the new system and to facilitate the removal of the abandoned transvenous leads under better technical conditions...

ABSTRACT

Infection after total knee replacement (IATJ) is a rare complication. It is associated with increased morbidity and mortality increasing the final costs. Gram positive coccus and Staphylococcus coagulase-negative and Staphylococcus aureus are the most common isolated germs (>50% of the cases). Conditions related to the patient, to the surgical procedure and even to the post op have been identified as risk factors to IATJ. Many complementary methods together with clinical symptoms are useful to a proper diagnosis. Treatment for IATJ must be individualized but generally is a combination of systemic antibiotic therapy and surgical treatment. Prosthesis exchange in one or two stages is the first choice procedure. Debridement with prosthesis retention is an option in acute cases with stable implants and antibiotic sensible germs.


Infecção após artroplastia total do joelho (IATJ) é complicação incomum. Está associada a aumento da morbimortalidade e dos custos de internação. Cocos gram-positivos, sobretudo Staphylococcus coagulase-negative e Staphylococcus aureus, são os germes mais comumente isolados (> 50% de todos os casos). Condições ligadas ao paciente, ao procedimento cirúrgico e mesmo ao pós-operatório têm sido identificadas como fatores de risco para IATJ. Vários são os métodos complementares que se somam à investigação clínica para o diagnóstico infeccioso e melhor caracterização do quadro. O tratamento para a IATJ deve ser individualizado, mas geralmente envolve a combinação da antibioticoterapia sistêmica com o tratamento cirúrgico. A troca do implante em um ou dois estágios é o procedimento de escolha. Desbridamento com retenção da prótese é opção em casos agudos, com implantes estáveis e com germes sensíveis aos agentes antimicrobianos.

ABSTRACT

La proteína C reactiva (CRP) por sus siglas en inglés) es una proteína de fase aguda que se utiliza para el seguimiento de enfermedades inflamatorias tales como artritis reumatoidea, lupus eritematoso o vasculitis y procesos infecciosos tales como sepsis y septicemia; así como también, para evaluar la eficacia de las drogas antiinflamatorias y antimicrobianas indicadas en el tratamiento de estas patologías. Igualmente se ha asociado a daño tisular en diversas especialidades quirúrgicas. El objetivo de este estudio fue relacionar los niveles plasmáticos de CRP con la infección y el edema posterior a la cirugía de los terceros molares. A tal efecto se evaluaron 60 pacientes, distribuidos en 3 grupos A, B y C bajo antibioticoterapia profiláctica con Clindamicina (A: dosis única de 600 mg, B: 300 mg c/6h por 5 días y C: Placebo) y terapia analgésica y antiinflamatoria (Ibuprofeno 400mg c/6h por 3 días). A quienes se tomaron muestras de sangre antes y a las 72 horas de la odontectomía de los terceros molares y fotografías digitales para calcular el área de inflamación. No se demostró la relación de los niveles de CRP con infección ya que ningún paciente presentó proceso infeccioso pero si se demostró la relación cualitativa (sensibilidad) de CRP y cuantitativa mediante correlación de Spearman (p<0,05) ya que mientras mayor fue el área de la inflamación, mayores fueron los niveles plasmáticos de CRP


The C reactive protein (CRP) is an unspecific acute phase reaction used for the follow-up of such inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or vasculitis and such infectious processes like sepsis; as well as also, to evaluate the efficiency of the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial drugs indicated in the treatment of this pathologies. Equally it has associated to tissue damage in diverse surgical specialties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between CRP levels as indicator of postoperative infection and edema after third molar surgery. We evaluated 60 patients distributed in three groups A, B and C under antibiotic prophylaxis with Clindamycin (A: single dosis 600 mgs, B: 300 mgs each 6/h by 5 days and C: placebo) and analgesic and anti-inflammatory therapy with Ibuprofen 400 mg. each 6/h by 3 days. Who were taken blood samples to measure the CRP before and 72 hours after surgery and digital photographs to calculate the edema area. We did not demonstrated relation between CRP and infection because no one patient was infected in any group but we demonstrated (By Searman (p<0,05) the value of CRP as indicator of edema in the third molar surgery

ABSTRACT

Introdução: a Candida albicans é um componente da microbiota indígena do indivíduo e pode colonizar o ambiente endodôntico. Objetivo: usando um modelo de infecção dentinária in vitro, avaliar o padrão de colonização da dentina por essa espécie microbiana, bem como a influência do tigmotropismo nesse evento. Métodos: foi utilizado um aparato composto por dois frascos de vidro conectados por um anel de silicone. Internamente, esses frascos eram se-parados por um disco de acrílico contendo um fragmento de dentina humana na sua porção central. Ambos os frascos foram preenchidos com caldo Sabouraud, mas Candida albicans foi inoculada no frasco superior. Após 72 horas a 37ºC, o aparato foi desmontado sob condições assépticas e o fragmento dentinário preparado para microscopia eletrônica. Resultados: a amostra de Candida albicans 1015 foi capaz de penetrar ativamente os túbulos dentinários, sendo as hifas a principal forma de crescimento durante a invasão primária dos túbulos dentinários. Células leveduriformes foram observadas nas camadas mais internas da dentina. Conclusões: a direção de ponta da hifa não foi influenciada pela natureza tubular da dentina. Nesse aspecto, somente o pleomorfismo tem um papel significativo na colonização da dentina humana por leveduras.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Reports of infections caused by rapidly growing mycobacteria during plastic surgery have increased in recent years despite improvements in techniques of asepsis/antisepsis and antibiotic prophylaxis. Infections occurring after the insertion of breast implants are a cause of patient morbidity and a significant problem for the surgeon. METHODS: Breast implant surgery cases complicated by mycobacterial infections at the Infirmary ward 38th of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia, Rio de Janeiro were retrospectively reviewed. A description of the current guidelines for the prevention and treatment of mycobacteriosis is included. Laboratory confirmed and clinically suspected cases were included in this study. RESULTS: Of 483 augmentation mammaplasty cases, 3 patients developed mycobacterial infections in the last 3 years. In 2 patients, there was a suspicion of infection that was not confirmed by laboratory data. CONCLUSIONS: Prophylaxis is fundamental for reducing the incidence of mycobacteriosis during plastic surgery procedures. However, the identification, diagnosis, and treatment of mycobacterial diseases are important to minimize the morbidity of this type of infection.


INTRODUÇÃO: Nos últimos anos, foram crescentes os registros de infecções por micobactéria de crescimento rápido em cirurgia plástica, mesmo com a melhoria dos métodos de assepsia/ antissepsia e da antibioticoprofilaxia. A infecção após inclusão de implantes mamários causa grande morbidade às pacientes e transtorno ao cirurgião. MÉTODO: Estudo retrospectivo dos casos de infecção por micobactéria de crescimento rápido da 38ª Enfermaria da Santa Casa da Misericórdia do Rio de Janeiro, após inclusão de implantes mamários, em que são apresentadas propostas de prevenção e tratamento da micobacteriose. Foram incluídos os casos confirmados laboratorialmente e os clinicamente suspeitos. RESULTADOS: Até o presente momento foram confirmados 3 casos de infecção por micobactéria, num total de 483 mamaplastia de aumento no decorrer de 3 anos. Em 2 pacientes, houve suspeita de infecção, porém sem confirmação laboratorial. CONCLUSÕES: A profilaxia é o pilar fundamental para a redução do impacto da micobacteriose em procedimentos de cirurgia plástica. Entretanto, saber identificar, diagnosticar e tratar corretamente a micobacteriose é de suma importância para minimizar a morbidade da paciente.

ABSTRACT

Durante las últimas dos décadas, los resultados de varios protocolos de terapia génica llevaron al descreimiento de la comunidad médica. Sin embargo, en años recientes se obtuvieron resultados muy exitosos que la reposicionaron como una opción prometedora para el tratamiento de muchas enfermedades. Frente a este resurgimiento del interés de la comunidad científca internacional en la terapia génica, resulta apropiado que el médico generalista comprenda sus fortalezas y limitaciones. El objetivo de este artículo es comentar la forma en que la terapia génica encara actualmente el tratamiento de patologías tan diversas como neoplasias, infecciones y enfermedades monogénicas.


During the last two decades, the outcome of various gene therapy protocols lead to medical community disbelief. Nevertheless, successful results obtained in recent years, repositioned gene therapy as a promising option for treatment of several diseases. Facing this renaissance of the international scientifc community interest on gene therapy, it seems to be necessary for the generalist physician to understand its strength and limitations. The objective of this article is to comment the way gene therapy addresses nowadays the treatment of such different pathologies as neoplasias, infections and monogenic diseases.

ABSTRACT

Uma das complicações mais frequentes da fístula arteriovenosa (FAV) para hemodiálise é o desenvolvimento de um aneurisma. A formação de aneurismas geralmente decorre de um enfraquecimento da parede venosa devido às repetidas punções, e sua rotura causa hemorragia intensa que pode levar à morte. Descrevemos o caso de uma paciente com dois aneurismas saculares de FAV, tratados através de aneurismorrafia, detalhando a técnica cirúrgica utilizada e a evolução pós-operatória. A técnica de rafia simples da parede constitui uma boa alternativa no reparo da parede da FAV quando o aneurisma é de curta extensão, evitando a colocação de um material protético e a confecção de duas anastomoses.


One of the most common complications of arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) is aneurysm formation due to weakening of the venous wall after repeated punctures. Its rupture causes severe bleeding that can lead to death. We report the case of a patient with two AVF saccular aneurysms treated by aneurysmorrhaphy. The technique and the postoperative follow-up are presented in detail. Aneurysmorrhaphy is a good option to repair the AVF wall when the aneurysmal segment is short, thus avoiding the placement of prosthetic grafts and the performance of two anastomoses.

ABSTRACT

Primary antibody deficiencies (PADs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders, characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia and increased susceptibility to bacterial infections, leading to hospitalizations. This study was performed to determine the main infectious causes of hospital admissions in selective Iranian patients with PADs. Forty patients with PADs, who were admitted to the Infectious Ward of Children's Medical Center Hospital during a 14-year period, were reviewed in this study. There were 115 documented episodes of hospital admission during a 14-year period. The average length of hospital stay was 33.30 ± 25.72 days. Pneumonia was the most prominent infection leading to hospitalization among these patients (n = 48), followed by gastroenteritis (n = 23). Other less frequent causes of hospitalization were fever and neutropenia, septic arthritis, encephalitis, orbital cellulitis, sepsis, urinary tract infection, meningitis, oral ulcer, and lung abscess. The most common causative organisms of diarrhea were: Giardia lamblia, followed by Candida albicans, and Salmonella sp. Many patients with PADs suffer from repeated infections leading to hospitalization, in spite of immunoglobulin replacement therapy. Respiratory tract infections were the prominent cause of hospitalization among studied patients, followed by gastrointestinal infections.
