Résumé
Objective To analyze the characteristic of tuberculous encephalitis following with dysphagia. Methods The characteristic of the patient was analyzed, and the signs and symptoms were inconsistent. And it was different with neuro dysphagia. Videofluoroscopic swal-lowing study was used to further examine. Results The cause of the patient's dysphagia was confirmed as tracheoesophageal fistula. Conclu-sion It exists clinically that brain lesion accompanied with constructional dysphagia without neurogenic dysphagia.
Résumé
O lúpus eritematoso sistêmico (LES) é uma doença inflamatória multissistêmica, na qual as infecções são responsáveis por altos índices de morbimortalidade. Os usos de corticóide e imunossupressores contribuem para o aumento das infecções. Embora as bactérias sejam os agentes mais comuns, grande variedade de patógenos tem sido relatada. Este artigo descreve um caso de LES em um menino de 15 anos com criptococose disseminada (sistema nervoso central, pulmão e rim) e encefalite tuberculosa presumível. A coexistência de infecção por Cryptococcus e LES é descrita na literatura, mas a associação desta com encefalite tuberculosa é incomum. O risco potencial de infecções em pacientes lúpicos imunossuprimidos deve alertar o médico a adotar estratégias diagnósticas e terapêuticas precoces visando ao espectro ampliado de possíveis patógenos.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem inflammatory disease, in which infection is responsible for high rates of mortality. The use of corticosteroids and immunosuppressive therapy contributes to this high incidence of infections. Although bacteria are the most common agents, a wide variety of pathogens has been reported. This article reports a case of SLE in a 15 years-old boy with disseminated criptococosis (central nervous system, lungs and kidneys) and presumptive tuberculous encephalitis. The coexistence of infection by Cryptococcus and SLE is described in the literature, but the combination of this with tuberculous encephalitis is uncommon. The potential risk of infection in immunosuppressed SLE patients should alert the physician to adopt early diagnostic and therapeutic strategies aiming at an extended spectrum of pathogens.
