ABSTRACT
Introducción: La brucelosis es la zoonosis más frecuente, producida por el género brucella, que afecta a varias especies de mamíferos y dentro de ellos a los humanos. Se transmite al hombre por contacto directo con los animales infectados, por sus excretas o por la ingestión de productos no pasteurizados. En los últimos años se ha descrito un incremento de la enfermedad en los pacientes inmunocomprometidos. Objetivo: Describir la reactivación de la brucelosis en paciente receptor de un trasplante hematopoyético, su curso y manejo. Presentación de caso: Se presenta una paciente con linfoma de Hodgkin y antecedentes de brucelosis que recibió un trasplante hematopoyético autólogo mieloablativo. Después de la recuperación hematológica, inició con cuadro de fiebre, diaforesis, dolores articulares y hepato-esplenomegalia. Se le diagnosticó brucelosis, por lo que se inició tratamiento con doxiciclina y rifampicina, con lo que se logró la eliminación de los síntomas y la negativización de las pruebas evolutivas. Conclusiones: La brucelosis puede mantenerse meses o años asintomática y reactivarse después de la inmunosupresión en los pacientes trasplantados. Su sospecha y rápido tratamiento puede lograr la curación y evitar complicaciones(AU)
Introduction: Brucellosis is the most frequent zoonosis, produced by the genus brucella, which affects several species of mammals, including human beings. It is transmitted to persons by direct contact with infected animals, by their excreta or by ingestion of unpasteurized products. In recent years, an increase has been described in immunocompromised patients. Objectives: To describe the reactivation of brucellosis in a hematopoietic transplant recipient patient, its course and management. Case presentation: A patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma and a history of brucellosis is presented; that she received a myeloablative autologous hematopoietic transplant. After haematological recovery, she started with symptoms of fever, diaphoresis, joint pain and hepato-splenomegaly. She was diagnosed with brucellosis, so treatment with doxycycline and rifampin was started, which eliminated the symptoms and made the evolutionary tests negative. Conclusions: Brucellosis can be asymptomatic for months or years and after immunosuppression it can be reactivated in transplanted patients. Suspicion and prompt treatment can bring about a cure and avoid complications(AU)

Resumen: Los adenovirus humanos continúan siendo un desafío en la práctica clínica, se trata de virus de tipo ADN, con amplia distribución en la población, causa frecuente de enfermedad autolimitada en niños. Sin embargo, en pacientes inmunosuprimidos, principalmente trasplantados de células hematopoyéticas y de órganos sólidos, puede llegar a ser causa de enfermedad diseminada severa, con elevada morbimortalidad. Compartimos el primer reporte nacional de enfermedad por adenovirus diseminado, en el que se presentan dos casos clínicos de pacientes trasplantados hepáticos, que desarrollan enfermedad diseminada grave por adenovirus. Se realiza una revisión de la literatura sobre el tema.
Abstract: Human adenoviruses still constitute a challenge in the clinical practice. These are DNA viruses that are widely disseminated among the population and often cause self-limiting diseases in children. However, it may result in a severe diseminated disease with high morbi-mortality rates in immunocompromised patients, in particular transplant recipients of hematopoietic cells and solid organs. The study shares the first national report for disseminated adenovirus disease, presenting two clinical cases of hepatic transplant recipients who developed severe disseminated adenovirus disease. And conducting a literature review on the topic.
Resumo: Os adenovírus humanos continuam sendo um desafio na prática clínica; são vírus do tipo DNA, com ampla distribuição na população, causa frequente de doença autolimitada em crianças. Entretanto, em pacientes imunossuprimidos, principalmente receptores de transplante de células hematopoiéticas e órgãos sólidos, pode se tornar causa de doença disseminada grave, com alta morbimortalidade. Este é o primeiro relato nacional de doença de adenovírus disseminado, no qual são apresentados dois casos clínicos de pacientes transplantados de fígado que desenvolvem doença de adenovírus disseminada grave. Realizou-se também revisão da literatura sobre o assunto.

ABSTRACT Objective: To outline the epidemiological profile of cornea donors and recipients before reaching queue zero. Methods: Epidemiological study, of quantitative approach, with transversal, analytical design, analyzing database records from the Health Secretary of the State of Ceará, from 2013 to 2015. Results: We obtained 1,558 cornea donors and 2,287 cornea recipients from 2013 to 2015. Most donors were male, capital residents, from 21 to 40 years old. Of donated eyeballs, 14.52% were disposed, due to poor condition, infiltration or positive serology. The recipients were predominantly women over 60 years old. The procedures were mostly elective, due to bullous keratopathy (28%). Regarding emergency transplants, ulcer (38.51%) and retransplant (35.14%) were most prevalent. Predominantly, transplants were funded by the Unified Health System. Conclusion: The majority of patients who were submitted to corneal transplantation are senile, especially females, therefore should be cautiously observed. On the other hand, donors are mainly male and young, reflecting the high number of tragic accidents. The surgery for bullous keratopathy is the most frequent among elective transplants, while the ulcer surgery is the main cause of emergency procedures. The fact that most surgeries were financed by the Unified Health System reflects the importance of this system.
RESUMO Objetivo: Traçar o perfil epidemiológico dos doadores e receptores de córnea antes de atingir a Fila Zero. Métodos: Estudo epidemiológico, de abordagem quantitativa, com delineamento transversal e analítico, analisando registros da base de dados da Secretaria de Saúde do Estado do Ceará, de 2013 a 2015. Resultados: Foram obtidos 1.558 doadores de córnea e 2.287 receptores de córnea, de 2013 a 2015. A maioria dos doadores era homem, procedente da capital, de 21 a 40 anos. Dentre os globos oculares doados, 14,52% foram descartados por má condição, infiltração ou sorologia positiva. Os receptores eram predominantemente mulheres acima de 60 anos de idade. Os procedimentos foram majoritariamente eletivos, devido à ceratopatia bolhosa (28%). Já para transplantes de emergência, a úlcera (38,51%) e o retransplante (35,14%) foram os mais prevalentes. Em geral, os transplantes foram custeados pelo Sistema Único de Saúde. Conclusão: A maioria dos pacientes submetidos a transplantes de córnea foram do grupo etário senil, principalmente do sexo feminino, devendo esse grupo ser observado com cautela. Em contrapartida, os doadores eram, principalmente, homens e jovens, refletindo o alto número de pessoas que morrem devido a acidentes trágicos. A cirurgia de ceratopatia bolhosa foi a mais frequente dentre os transplantes eletivos; já a de úlcera foi a principal causa dos procedimentos de emergência. O fato de a maioria das cirurgias ter sido financiada pelo Sistema Único de Saúde reflete a importância desse sistema.

Background: High-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infection is linked with uterine cervix premalignant lesions and invasive carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Methods: Descriptive cross sectional study carried out among female kidney transplant (KTx) recipients in Kenyatta National Hospital, Nairobi-Kenya. We studied the risk factors for acquisition of hrHPV, examined cervical cytology and assayed for 14 hrHPV DNA using Cervista® HPV HR test and Cervista® MTA (Hologic®) automated platforms. Results: The 14-hrHPV genotypes assayed were 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68 and the prevalence rate was 31.25 % (10/32). Abnormal cervical cytology was noted in 4/32 (12.5%) and included low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (2/32), atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (1/32) and atypical glandular cells (1/32). The average age was 41.9years with mean age at first coitus being 20.4 years. Majority of the women 20(62.5%) were married while 8(25%) were single. About 18(56.3%) had only one sexual partner. About 20% of women were nulliparous and 4(12.5%) had a parity of five. Duration sincetransplantation ranged between 1-21 years. Conclusions: The burden of hrHPV and abnormal cervical cytology in our study seemed lower than that reported elsewhere and even in general population. This study may form basis for further studies about HPV infections and carcinoma of the uterine cervix among the kidney allograft recipients in our setting

With the breakthrough in surgical technology, pediatric liver transplantation (PLT) has achieved landmark development in China in recent years. In some high-volume centers, postoperative outcomes have even been comparable to the world-leading levels. However, postoperative infection remains a major factor affecting graft and recipient survivals. Thus, the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association organized experts from multiple disciplines and formulated the consensus to improve the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of postoperative infections in PLT recipients. This consensus is based on the progress of domestic and international researches in this field and followed the principles of evidence-based medicine. It covers general and transplantation-specific infection, and is expected to provide reference for centers conducting or planning to conduct PLT.

Background: The impact of donor quality on post-kidney transplant survival may vary by candidate condition. Objective: Analyzing the combined use of the Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) and the estimated post-transplant survival (EPTS) scale and their correlation with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline in deceased-donor kidney recipients (DDKR). Methods: This was a retrospective, observational cohort study. We included DDKRs between 2015 and 2017 at a national third-level hospital. Results: We analyzed 68 DDKR. The mean age at transplant was 41 ± 14 years, 47 (69%) had sensitization events, 18 (26%) had delayed graft function, and 16 (23%) acute rejection. The graft survival at 12 and 36 months was 98.1% (95% CI 94-100) and 83.7% (95% CI 65-100), respectively. The Pearson correlation coefficient between the percentage reduction in the annual eGFR and the sum of EPTS and KDPI scales was r = 0.61, p < 0.001. The correlation coefficient between the percentage reduction in the annual eGFR and the EPTS and KDPI scales separately was r = 0.55, p < 0.001, and r = 0.53, p < 0.001, respectively. Conclusions: The sum of EPTS and KDPI scales can provide a better donor-recipient relationship and has a moderately positive correlation with the decrease in eGFR in DDKR.

Abstract Paracoccidioidomycosis is an endemic systemic mycosis caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis complex and P. lutzii. It is a rare disease in non-HIV-induced immunosuppressed individuals. In organ transplant recipients, it is more frequently associated with immunosuppression after kidney transplantation. In a liver transplant patient, only one case has been published in the literature to date. The present report comprises the case of a 47-year-old female patient with disseminated skin lesions associated with signs and symptoms of systemic involvement of paracoccidioidomycosis that manifested one year after liver transplantation and under an immunosuppression regimen with tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil.

Introducción: La infección por citomegalovirus es muy frecuente en pacientes sometidos a trasplante de progenitores hematopoyéticos, debido a tratamientos mieloablativos de acondicionamiento, disparidad genética y al tratamiento inmunosupresor, y ocurre fundamentalmente después de la toma del implante. Objetivos: Actualizar el diagnóstico, manejo y seguimiento de la infección por citomegalovirus en pacientes trasplantados. Métodos: Se realizó revisión bibliográfica en los idiomas español e inglés, utilizando los motores de búsqueda de Pubmed, Google Académico y Scielo sobre el diagnóstico y manejo del citomegalovirus en pacientes receptores de trasplante hematopoyético. Análisis y síntesis de la información: Se recolectó y organizó la información obtenida siguiendo cronológicamente el surgimiento de técnicas para diagnóstico y la aparición de nuevos medicamentos en los últimos años. Se seleccionaron artículos recientes de expertos en el tema en revistas prestigiosas, donde se evidencia la importancia del diagnóstico adelantado y el inicio del tratamiento. Conclusiones: En la actualidad se cuenta con nuevas formas de diagnóstico y medicamentos novedosos para el citomegalovirus, pero la mortalidad puede llegar a ser alta, si el paciente no es tratado antes de que aparezcan los síntomas de la enfermedad e incluso a pesar del tratamiento. En ocasiones, no es posible erradicar el virus, lo que lleva a complicaciones importantes y a la muerte. La enfermedad citomegálica continúa siendo una complicación frecuente en estos pacientes a pesar de las medidas para evitar su reactivación(AU)
Introduction: Cytomegalovirus infection is very common in patients undergoing hematopoietic progenitor transplantation, due to myeloablative conditioning treatments, genetic disparity, and immunosuppressive treatment, and occurs mainly after the engrafment. Objective: A review and update of the diagnosis and management of cytomegalovirus is made in hematopoietic transplant recipients. Method: A bibliographic review was carried out in Spanish and English, using the search engines of Pubmed, Scholar Google and Scielo about the diagnosis and management of cytomegalovirus in hematopoietic transplant recipients. Development: The information obtained was collected and organized chronologically about the emergence of techniques for diagnosis and the appearance of new drugs in recent years. Recent articles by experts in prestigious journals were reviewed and the importance of early diagnosis and initiation of treatment is evidenced. Conclusions: There are currently new forms of diagnosis and novel medications, but mortality can be high, if the patient is not treated before the symptoms of the disease appear and even despite treatment, sometimes it is not possible to eradicate the virus, leading to major complications and death. Cytomegalic disease continues to be a frequent complication in these patients despite measures to prevent virus reactivation(AU)

Esse estudo observacional transversal comparativo teve como objetivos avaliar os parâmetros clínicos periodontais, índice gengival modificado (IGM), índice de placa visível (IPV), crescimento gengival induzido por drogas (CGID), mensurar volume e fluxo do fluido crevicular gengival (FCG), perda dentária bem como o impacto da saúde bucal auto-relatada na qualidade de vida, em pacientes pré e pós-transplante de células tronco hematopoiéticas (TCTH), fígado (TX-fígado), rim (Tx-rim), comparados a indivíduos sem doença sistêmica diagnosticada. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) (CAAE-18019619.1.0000.5149). A amostra foi recrutada dentre usuários da Faculdade de Odontologia da UFMG, de março a dezembro de 2019. Foram registrados: IGM, IPV, profundidade à sondagem (PS), sangramento à sondagem (SS), nível de inserção clínico (NIC), recessão gengival (RG), CGID, fluxo e volume do FCG e número de dentes presentes. O instrumento Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) foi aplicado para avaliar a Qualidade de Vida Relacionada à Saúde Bucal (QVRSB). O grupo controle incluiu pacientes sem doença sistêmica diagnosticada, pareados por sexo e idade. Os dados foram analisados pelo programa SPSS versão 25. Análises descritivas e comparativas foram realizadas usando os testes de Wilcoxon, Mann Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis seguido de Dunn-Bonferroni. Modelos de regressão logística binária condicional estimaram a Odds-Ratio, considerando como desfechos presença de periodontite e prevalência de alto impacto na QVRSB. Em todos os testes, o nível de significância de 5% foi adotado. As frequências de periodontite foram maiores em indivíduos em condição de transplante que no grupo controle, na fase pré-transplante e nos pacientes Tx-fígado. O diagnóstico mais frequentemente encontrado foi a periodontite estágio I localizada. As medianas de IPV, PS, NIC, volume e fluxo do FCG foram maiores em pacientes de transplante comparados aos controles (p<0,05). Comparados aos respectivos controles, os grupos Tx-fígado e Tx-rim apresentaram medianas de IPV e PS significativamente maiores. O número de dentes presentes foi menor no grupo Tx fígado que no Tx rim (p=0,027). No modelo ajustado final, nenhuma variável mostrou associação com a presença de periodontite (p>0,05). Pacientes de transplante tiveram pior percepção do impacto na QVRSB que os indivíduos controle (p=0,015). Os grupos TCTH (p=0,008) e Tx-fígado (p=0,033) foram mais impactados que seus controles. Na regressão logística, a variável transplante não afetou a frequência de alto impacto na QVRSB. No modelo final ajustado, a escolaridade e o número de dentes presentes permaneceram como fatores preditores do impacto da saúde bucal na qualidade de vida auto-relatada. Indivíduos com menor escolaridade (OR = 3,590; 1,021-12,622) e com menor número de dentes (OR = 4,991; IC95% 1,386-17,970) tiveram maior impacto na QVRSB. Concluiu-se, que as frequências de periodontite foram maiores em indivíduos em condição de transplante, na fase pré e em pacientes Tx-fígado. A periodontite estágio I localizada foi o diagnóstico mais frequente. A condição de transplante não afetou a presença de periodontite. O número de dentes presentes e a escolaridade tiveram impacto na QVRSB dos indivíduos em condição transplante, e estes demonstram uma pior percepção que os controles.
This cross-sectional observational study aimed to assess periodontal clinical parameters, modified gingival index (MGI), visible plaque index (VPI), drug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO), measuring gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) volume and flow , tooth loss as well as the impact of self-reported oral health on quality of life, in patients before and after hematopoietic stem cell (HSCT), liver (Tx-liver), kidney (Tx-kidney) transplantation compared to individuals without diagnosed systemic disease. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) (CAAE-18019619.1.0000.5149). The sample was recruited from users of the Faculty of Dentistry at UFMG, from March to December 2019. The outcomes MGI, VPI, probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BoP), clinical attachment level (CAL), gingival recession (GR), DIGO, flow and volume of GCF and number of teeth present were recorded. The Oral Health Impact Profile instrument (OHIP-14) was applied to assess the Oral Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). The control group included patients without diagnosed systemic disease, matched for sex and age. The data were analyzed using the SPSS software version 25. Descriptive and comparative analyzes were performed using the Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney and KruskalWallis followed by Dunn-Bonferroni tests. To estimate the Odds-Ratio, conditional binary logistic regression models were used, considering as outcomes presence of periodontites and prevalence of hight impact on OHRQoL. In all tests, the significance level of 5% was adopted. The frequency of periodontitis was higher in individuals undergoing transplantation than in the control group, in the pre-transplant phase and in Tx-liver patients. The most frequently found diagnosis was localized stage I periodontitis. The medians of VPI, PD, CAL, GCF volume and flow were higher in transplant patients compared to controls (p <0.05). The Tx-liver and Tx-kidney groups had significantly higher VPI and PD medians than their respectives controls. Comparing the transplant groups, the number of teeth present was lower in Tx-liver than in Tx-kidney (p = 0.027). In the final adjusted model, no variable was associated with the presence of periodontitis (p> 0.05). Transplant patients had a worse perception of the impact on OHRQoL than control subjects (p = 0.015). The groups HSCT (p = 0.008) and Tx-liver (p = 0.033) were more impacted than their controls. In logistic regression, the transplant variable did not affect the frequency of high impact on OHRQoL. In the final adjusted model, schooling and the number of teeth present remained as predictors of the impact of oral health on self-reported quality of life. Individuals with less education (OR = 3.590; 1.021-12.622) and with fewer teeth (OR = 4.991; 95% CI 1.386-17.970) had a greater impact on HRQoL. It was concluded that the frequencies of periodontitis were higher in individuals in a transplant condition, in the pre-transplantation phase and in Tx-liver patients. Localized stage I periodontitis was the most frequent diagnosis. The transplant condition did not affect the presence of periodontitis. The number of teeth present and education had an impact on the HRQoL of transplantation individuals, and these demonstrate a worse perception than the controls.

Objetivo: Este estudo visa avaliar o perfil metabólico de pacientes que foram submetidos a TxC em um centro de referência do estado do Ceará. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, quantitativo, em que se avaliaram 110 pacientes receptores de TxC no Hospital de Messejana de Fortaleza, no período de 2011 a 2018, por meio de uma ficha clínica. Resultados: observou-se que a maioria dos pacientes era do gênero masculino (76,5%), e a média de idade foi de 46,26 ± 12,73 anos. Entre os pacientes, observou-se que previamente à cirurgia, 42,5% tinham histórico familiar de doença cardíaca, 40,1% estavam com sobrepeso e 15% eram diabéticos. A classe de medicação mais utilizada para as doenças de bases foram os diuréticos, inibidores da enzima conversora da angiotensina e bloqueadores de receptores da angiotensina. A principal etiologia que levou à necessidade do TxC foi a miocardiopatia isquêmica. Conclusões: Nesta amostra, a doença de base com maior prevalência que levou ao transplante foi a miocardiopatia isquêmica. A maioria dos pacientes apresentou rejeição ao enxerto em algum momento do período estudado. Todos os pacientes que apresentaram descompensação glicêmica fizeram uso de insulina.
Objective: This study aims to assess the metabolic profile of patients who underwent HT at a referral center in the state of Ceará. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, quantitative study, in which 110 patients receiving HT were evaluated at the Hospital de Messejana in Fortaleza, from 2011 to 2018, through a clinical form. Results: It was observed that the majority of patients were male (76.5%) and the mean age was 46.26 ± 12.73 years. Among the patients, it was observed that prior to surgery, 42.5% had a family history of heart disease, 40.1% were overweight, and 15% were diabetic. The most used class of medication for underlying diseases were diuretics, angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin receptor blockers. The main etiology leading to the need for HT was ischemic cardiomyopathy. Conclusions: In this sample, the most prevalent underlying disease leading to transplantation was ischemic cardiomyopathy. Most patients presented graft rejection at some point during the study period. All patients who presented glycemic decompensation used insulin.

O objetivo deste artigo foi comparar o uso da ivermectina e do albendazol em pacientes transplantados e relatar os respectivos sucessos terapêuticos nessa população. Foram analisados artigos que abordassem relatos de casos publicados nos últimos 4 anos no PubMed® relacionando os descritores "transplante de órgãos", "estrongiloidíase" e "tratamento". Foram encontrados e analisados dez relatos de caso que abordaram a estrongiloidíase em situa- ção pós-transplante contemplando 13 indivíduos. Desses, cinco (38,5%) utilizaram ambos os medicamentos, dos quais quatro (80%) se curaram, tendo recebido albendazol e ivermectina por via subcutânea (50%) ou albendazol e ivermectina por vias oral/ subcutânea (50%). O paciente que morreu recebeu albendazol e ivermectina por via subcutânea. Sete (53,8%) indivíduos utiliza- ram apenas ivermectina, dos quais três (42,8%) se curaram tendo recebido o medicamento oral (dois pacientes) ou subcutâneo (um paciente); dois (28,6%) morreram recebendo o medicamento via oral, dois (28,6%) usaram profilaticamente via oral e apenas um não manifestou sintomas. Apenas um (7,7%) indivíduo utilizou somente albendazol via oral tendo sobrevivido à infecção. A uti- lização combinada dos medicamentos ivermectina e albendazol parece ter efeito positivo no tratamento da estrongiloidíase. A administração da ivermectina por via subcutânea apresentou resultados promissores, contudo estudos controlados de siner- gia medicamentosa e vias de administração devem ser realizados para efetiva avaliação.
The objective of this article was to compare the use of ivermec- tin and albendazole in transplanted patients and to report the respective therapeutic successes in this population.Articles ad- dressing case reports published in the last 4 years in the PubMed relating the descriptors "organ transplantation", "strongyloidia- sis", and "treatment" were analyzed. Ten case reports addres- sing strongyloidiasis in a post-transplant situation, covering 13 individuals, were found and analyzed. Of these, five (38.5%) used both drugs of which 4 (80%) were cured having received subcu- taneous albendazole and ivermectin (50%) or oral/subcutaneous albendazole and ivermectin (50%). The patient who died received subcutaneous albenzadole and ivermectin. Seven (53.8%) indi- viduals used only ivermectin, of which three (42.8%) were cured having received the oral (2/3) or subcutaneous (1/3) medication, two (28.6%) died receiving the oral medication, and two (28.6%) used oral medication prophylactically, and only one did not show symptoms. Only one (7.7%) individual used only oral albenzadole and survived the infection. The combined use of the drugs iver- mectin and albendazole seems to have a positive effect on the treatment of strongyloidiasis. The administration of subcuta- neous Ivermectin has shown promising results; however, con- trolled studies of drug synergy and administration routes shall be performed for effective evaluation.

Abstract Renal transplant remains the preferred therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Given the shortage of suitable donor kidneys, use of an expanded criteria donor (ECD) allows marginal kidneys to be transplanted; albeit at risk of increased graft failure due to lower nephron mass. To reduce the risk of graft failure, double kidney transplant (DKT) is advocated, with favorable outcomes. Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is one of the most common vascular complications following renal transplant. Unlike single kidney transplants, where TRAS usually presents with fluid overload, uncontrolled hypertension, and worsening kidney functions; it may be clinically silent in DKT patients since they have two functional transplanted kidneys. We hereby report a case of TRAS in a DKT patient who had 2 years of favorable clinical outcomes following successful endovascular stenting. He however recently died of COVID-19 associated pneumonitis.
Resumo O transplante renal continua sendo a terapia preferida para doenças renais em fase terminal. Dada a escassez de rins de doadores adequados, o doador com critérios expandidos permite que rins marginais sejam transplantados, embora haja um maior risco de falha do enxerto devido à diminuição da massa nefrótica. Para diminuir o risco de falha do enxerto, recomenda-se o transplante renal duplo (TRD), com resultados favoráveis. A estenose de artéria renal transplantada (EART) é uma das complicações vasculares mais comuns após o transplante renal. Ao contrário dos transplantes de rim simples, nos quais a EART geralmente se manifesta como sobrecarga de fluido, hipertensão descontrolada e piora das funções renais, ela pode ser clinicamente silenciosa em pacientes com TRD, pois eles têm dois rins funcionais transplantados. Relatamos aqui um caso de EART em um paciente com TRD que teve resultados clínicos favoráveis por dois anos após o sucesso do implante de stent endovascular. No entanto, ele morreu recentemente de pneumonite associada à covid-19.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze adherence to the nursing guidelines for home care of bone marrow transplant recipients from an ecosystem perspective. Method: descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach, using Content Analysis for data analysis, with theoretical and philosophical ecosystem support. The interviews, carried out in bone marrow transplant services, in Brazil and Spain, were guided by an instrument developed by the researchers which contained 25 closed and ten open questions. 40 users participated who met the inclusion criteria. Data collection was carried out from July 2016 to October 2017. Results: the Orientations category emerged from the data which then gave rise to the subcategories: Interactive relational actions; and, actions and behaviors that interfered in the success of the transplant. Some users, due to excessive information at the time of discharge, were unable to assimilate or carry out the guidelines received; others, during the hospitalization phase, apprehended them and absorbed them in order to use them in the home ecosystem space after transplantation. Conclusion: part of the users followed only the guidelines that best adapted to their daily lives and, for others, after hospital discharge, they caused doubts and insecurities regarding the care to be performed at home. It is necessary for the user to identify the constituent elements of their home ecosystem and learn, through communication and information, how they interfere in post-hospital discharge care. Therefore, it is necessary to create communication and information mechanisms that enable the dynamic process between the constituent elements of the ecosystem, biotic and abiotic, so that they have interaction and sustainability and can be practiced by the user.
RESUMEN Objetivo: analizar el cumplimiento de las directrices de la enfermera para el cuidado domiciliario de los receptores de trasplante de médula ósea en una perspectiva ecosistémica. Método: descriptivo, exploratorio, con un enfoque cualitativo, utilizando el análisis de contenido para el análisis de datos, con soporte teórico y filosófico del ecosistema. Las entrevistas, realizadas en los servicios de trasplante de médula ósea, en Brasil y España, fueron guiadas por un instrumento desarrollado por los investigadores, que contenía 25 preguntas cerradas y diez abiertas. Participaron 40 usuarios que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. La recolección de datos se realizó entre julio de 2016 y octubre de 2017. Resultados: la categoría Orientaciones surgió de los datos y originó las subcategorías: acciones relacionales interactivas, acciones y comportamientos que interfirieron en el éxito del trasplante. Algunos usuarios, debido a la información excesiva al momento del alta, no pudieron asimilar y llevar a cabo las pautas recibidas, otros, en el curso de la fase de hospitalización, los detuvieron para absorberlos para su atención en el espacio del ecosistema del hogar en el pos trasplante. Conclusión: parte de lós usuários siguió solo las pautas que mejor se adaptaron a su vida diaria y para otros, después del alta hospitalaria, causaron dudas e inseguridades com respecto a La atención que se practica em elhogar. Es necesario que el usuario identifique los elementos constitutivos del ecosistema de su hogar y aprenda, a través de la comunicación y la información, cómo interfieren en la atención hospitalaria posterior al alta. Por lo tanto, es necesario crear mecanismos de comunicación e información que permitan el proceso dinámico entre los elementos constitutivos del ecosistema, bióticos y abióticos, para que tengan interacción y sostenibilidad y puedan ser practicados por el usuario.
RESUMO Objetivo: analisar a adesão às orientações do enfermeiro para o cuidado domiciliar do transplantado de medula óssea na perspectiva ecossistêmica. Método: descritivo, exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa, utilizando-se para a análise dos dados a Análise de Conteúdo, com apoio teórico-filosófico ecossistêmico. As entrevistas, realizadas em serviços de transplante de medula óssea, no Brasil e Espanha, foram norteadas por um instrumento elaborado pelas pesquisadoras, contendo 25 questões fechadas e dez abertas. Participaram 40 usuários que cumpriram os critérios de inclusão. A coleta de dados foi realizada de julho de 2016 a outubro de 2017. Resultados: a categoria Orientações emergiu dos dados e originou as subcategorias: Ações relacionais interativas; e, ações e comportamentos que interferiram no sucesso do transplante. Alguns usuários, por excesso de informações no momento da alta, não conseguiram assimilar e desempenhar as orientações recebidas; outros, no transcorrer da fase de internação, as apreenderam absorvê-las para o cuidado no espaço ecossistêmico domiciliar no pós-transplante. Conclusão: parte dos usuários seguiu somente as orientações que melhor se adaptaram ao seu cotidiano e, para outros, no pós-alta hospitalar, ocasionaram dúvidas e inseguranças em relação ao cuidado a ser praticado no domicílio. Faz-se necessário que o usuário identifique os elementos constituintes do seu ecossistema domiciliar e conheça, por meio da comunicação e informação, como interferem no cuidado pós alta hospitalar. Portanto, é preciso criar mecanismos de comunicação e informação que possibilitem o processo dinâmico entre os elementos constituintes do ecossistema, bióticos e abióticos, para que tenham interação e sustentabilidade e possam ser praticados pelo usuário.

Abstract The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can cause mild, moderate or severe disease (COVID-19). In severe disease, there is hyperinflammation causing severe symptoms. Severe COVID-19 is an immunological phenomenon, rather than a direct viral damage disease. Therapies for COVID-19 are all investigational therapies. In case of severe disease, treatment with a calcineurin inhibitor could be promising. In this article we explain the mechanisms of calcineurin inhibitor treatment for COVID-19, based on experiences seen in solid organ transplant recipients who suffered from COVID-19.
