ABSTRACT

Introducción: El trasplante de órganos conlleva riesgo de contraer tuberculosis (TB) a resultas de la necesaria inmunosupresión concurrente. La literatura señala una incidencia de 0,35 por ciento a 15 por ciento. En nuestro medio, carecemos de datos al respecto. Objetivos: Explorar la epidemiolog¡a, cuadro clinico y pronóstico de la TB en receptores de trasplante renal en  rea endémica. Igualmente, efectuar el analisis de casos multidrogorresistentes (MDR). Diseño: Estudio retrospectivo. Institución: Departamento de Nefrologia, Hospital Edgardo Rebagliati Martins, EsSalud, Lima, Perú. Material: Historias clinicas de casos de trasplante renal comprendidos en el periodo 1999-2014. Intervenciones: Se revisó en 619 casos de trasplante renal la instalación de tuberculosis, as¡ como se efectuó el analisis de casos multidrogorresistentes. Principales medidas de resultados: Instalación de tuberculosis y casos multidrogorresistentes. Resultados: La TB se instaló en 22 pacientes (3,5 por ciento), incidencia mayor que la obtenida en la población general del pais (96/100 000/anual). La fiebre (57 por ciento) y la tos crónica (28 por ciento) fueron los sintomas m s comunes. La TB extrapulmonar (50 por ciento) predominó sobre la pulmonar (40 por ciento) y la diseminada (10 por ciento). La ocurrencia de TB fue mayoritariamente después del año (72 por ciento). Siete de los casos (28 por ciento) cursaron con creatinina mayor de 2 mg porcentaje al momento del diagnóstico y tres de ellos retornaron a dialisis. Hubo cuatro casos de TB MDR. Conclusiones: El diagnóstico temprano en base a la sospecha clinica de TB y el tratamiento oportuno mejora el pronóstico en esta población.


Introduction: Organ transplantation carries a risk of contracting tuberculosis (TB) due to the required concurrent immunosuppression. Literature reports an incidence of 0.35 per cent-15 per cent. There is no data on this matter in our region. Objectives: To determine epidemiology, clinical findings and prognosis of TB in renal transplantation recipients in an endemic area. The study also aimed to analyze multidrug-resistant (MDR) cases. Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Department of Nephrology, Hospital Edgardo Rebagliati Martins, EsSalud, Lima, Peru. Material: Clinical charts of renal transplant patients attended during 1999-2014. Interventions: Onset of tuberculosis was determined in 619 cases of renal transplant, as well as analysis of multidrug-resistant cases. Main outcome measures. Installation of tuberculosis and cases of multidrug resistance. Results: TB developed in 22 patients (3.5 per cent), more prevalent that the country general population (96/100 000/year). Fever (57 per cent) and chronic cough (28 per cent) were the most common symptoms. Extrapulmonary TB (50 per cent) predominated over pulmonary (40 per cent) and disseminated TB (10 per cent). TB occurred usually after one year (72 per cent) and on average within the 41st month post transplantation. Seven cases (28 per cent) presented creatinine above 2 mg percentage at diagnosis and three of them returned to dialysis. There were four cases of MDR TB. Conclusions: Early diagnosis based on TB clinical suspicion and timely treatment improves the prognosis in this population of immunosuppressed patients.

ABSTRACT

A 38-year-old man presented to us with a left sided pleural effusion. Pleural fluid was aspirated and analysis revealed it to be an exudate with predominant lymphocytes and an elevated ADA level. He was discharged on antituberculous treatment. Patient returned with re-accumulation of pleural fluid. Computed tomography done in our institute picked up not only parenchymal disease in the lung which was not evident on chest radiographs but also picked up an abdominal mass in the left renal fossa. Pathological examination of excised mass revealed its tuberculous nature. The repeated recollection of pleural fluid was attributed to a "paradoxical response"; the patient was reassured and his anti-tuberculous treatment continued. Recognition of the fact that evidence of tuberculosis at distant sites may occasionally be needed to substantiate the diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusion in a difficult and bacteriologically "negative" case prompted us to report this case.

ABSTRACT

Renal TB is difficult to diagnose, because many patients present themselves with lower urinary symptoms which are typical of bacterial cystitis. We report a case of a young woman with renal TB and ESRD. She was admitted with complaints of adynamia, anorexia, fever, weight loss, dysuria and generalized edema for 10 months. At physical examination she was febrile (39°C), and her abdomen had increased volume and was painful at palpation. Laboratorial tests showed serum urea=220mg/dL, creatinine=6.6mg/dL, hemoglobin=7.9g/dL, hematocrit=24.3 percent, leukocytes=33,600/mm³ and platelets=664,000/mm³. Urinalysis showed an acid urine (pH=5.0), leukocyturia (2+/4+) and mild proteinuria (1+/4+). She was also oliguric (urinary volume <400mL/day). Abdominal echography showed thick and contracted bladder walls and heterogeneous liquid collection in the left pelvic region. Two laparotomies were performed, in which abscess in pelvic region was found. Anti-peritoneal tuberculosis treatment with rifampin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide was started. During the follow-up, the urine culture was found to be positive for M. tuberculosis. Six months later the patient had complaints of abdominal pain and dysuria. New laboratorial tests showed serum urea=187mg/dL, creatinine=8.0mg/dL, potassium=6.5mEq/L. Hemodialysis was then started. The CT scan showed signs of chronic nephropathy, dilated calyces and thinning of renal cortex in both kidneys and severe dilation of ureter. The patient developed neurologic symptoms, suggesting tuberculous meningoencephalitis, and died despite of support measures adopted. The patient had ESRD due to secondary uropathy to prolonged tuberculosis of urinary tract that was caused by delayed clinical and laboratorial diagnosis, and probably also due to inadequate antituberculous drugs administration.

ABSTRACT

A total of 31,266 autopsies and 1556 renal biopsies were scrutinised over a period of 19 years (1968-1986) retrospectively and prospectively, with an aim to study the incidence and pattern of renal amyloidosis in western India. A total of 104 cases with amyloidosis were detected, 41 from the autopsy series (0.1%) and 63 from biopsies (4%). Secondary amyloidosis was seen in 83.7% and primary amyloidosis in 11.5%. The interval between the onset of predisposing disease and first evidence of amyloidosis varied from 2 months to 31 years. Tuberculosis of various organs was the main cause of secondary amyloidosis (72.4%). Nephrotic syndrome was a common mode of presentation (71.4%). Besides kidneys, which were involved in all cases, the liver, spleen and adrenals were other commonly involved organs at autopsy. Renal failure was the leading cause of death (34.1%).

ABSTRACT

Se revisaron 24 casos con diagnóstico de tuberculosis renal manejados en el Hospital Santa Clara (18 casos) y en la Unidad Renal del Hospital de San José (6 casos) en Bogotá, entre junio de 1983 y mayo de 1988. La mitad de los pacientes eran hombres (54.6 por ciento) y 54.09 por ciento eran menores de 45 años. Los síntomas más frecuentes fueron disuria, urgencia y polaquiuria (70.8 por ciento), lumbalgia (54.16 por ciento) y hematuria (50 por ciento). El 50 por ciento de los pacientes había sido manejado durante meses o años como "infecciones urinarias repetidas" antes de hacer el diagnóstico de tuberculosis renal. El 95.84 por ciento tenía urografía excretora patológica mientras que 72.3 por ciento tuvo P.P.D. fracamente positiva. Sufrían o habían sufrido tuberculosis pulmonar 82.32 por ciento. La visualización directa del bacilo en orina se logró en 54.15 por ciento de los casos. Se realizaron dos tipos de tratamientos ambos a corto plazo. Se practicó nefrectomía unilateral a cuatro pacientes. El 84.49 por ciento de los casos evolucionó satisfactoriamente. Los datos obtenidos coinciden con los de la literatura mundial

ABSTRACT

Hombre de 69 años, con antecedentes de un mal de Pott en la infancia y una hermana diabética. Cuatro meses antes de su ingreso al Hospital Clínico de la Universidad Católica de Chile, presentó cuadro febril, compromiso del estado general y síndrome diarreico. En su primer ingreso se le diagnosticó una insuficiencia suprarrenal primaria y una tuberculosis suprarrenal; fue dado de alta con tratamiento corticoesteroidal y antituberculoso. Reingresó a los 10 meses, diagnosticándosele una Diabetes Mellitus con cetoacidosis; se instaló tratamiento insulínico y medidad de corrección de la acidosis. Evolucionó en malas condiciones con signos de septicemia y falleció al vigésimo tercer día de hospitalización. Posteriormente se recibieron cultivos de sangre, orina y secreción bronquial, positivos para cándida. En la autopsia se encontró una septicopiohemia con compromiso de tráquea, bronquios, miocardio, encéfalo, hipófisis, hígado, riñón derecho y recto, con elementos propios de Torulopsis Glabrata , además de una tuberculosis renal izquierda y suprarrenal bilateral. La Torulopsis Glabrata es un hongo levaduriforme de muy limitada capacidad invasiva, que compromete especialmente a pacientes diabéticos e inmunodeprimidos en los cuales produce una reacción anatomopatológica distintiva con elementos micóticos típicos
