RESUMO

Resumen Introducción: La infección del torrente sanguíneo es una complicación usual, que puede comprometer la vida de los pacientes que recibieron trasplante de precursores hematopoyéticos. Objetivo: Analizar las características de las infecciones del torrente sanguíneo en receptores de trasplante de precursores hematopoyéticos. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio observacional, retrospectivo. Se revisaron los registros de 451 pacientes (trasplantes autólogos y alogénicos), desde enero de 2009 a octubre de 2015. Resultados: Hubo 99 hemocultivos positivos en 73 pacientes con infección del torrente sanguíneo (16%). Mortalidad atribuible a causas infecciosas: 17%. De las 99 infecciones sanguíneas, 63% fueron provocados por bacilos gramnegativos (Escherichia coli 45%, Klebsiella spp 23%, Pseudomonas spp 11%, Acinetobacter spp 6% y otros bacilos gramnegativos 15%), 33% por cocáceas grampositivas, 3% por hongos y 1% por bacilos grampositivos. Se observó resistencia a ciprofloxacina (81%), piperacilina/tazobactam (48%), Enterobacteriaceae productoras de β-lactamasa de espectro extendido (BLEE) (40%), cefepime (39%) y ausencia de resistencia a amikacina. Discusión: Existe mayor frecuencia de infección por bacilos gramnegativos, con un importante porcentaje de aislados multi-resistentes, y consecuente, alta resistencia al tratamiento antimicrobiano empírico.


Background: Bloodstream infection is a common complication, which can be life-threatening for hematopoietic stem cells transplant recipients. Objective: To analyze the characteristics of bloodstream infections in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. Materials and Methods: Observational, retrospective study. We reviewed the records of 451 patients (autologous and allogeneic transplants) from January 2009 to October 2015. Results: 99 positive blood cultures in 73 patients with bloodstream infection (16%) were found. Mortality attributable to infectious causes was 17%. From the 99 bloodstream infection, 63% were caused by gram-negative bacilli (Escherichia coli 45%, Klebsiella spp 23%, Pseudomonas spp 11% Acinetobacter spp % and other bacilli 15%), 33% by gram-positive cocci, 3% by fungi and 1% by gram-positive bacilli. The gram-negative bacilli were ciprofloxacin resistant (81%), piperacillin/tazobactam resistant (48%), extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae (40%), cefepime resistant (39%) and there was no resistance noted to amikacin. Discussion: There is a higher frequency of gram-negative bacilli infection, with a high percentage of multiresistant microorganisms and high resistance to empirical antibiotic treatment.

RESUMO

Resumen Fundamento y objetivos: La fibrilación auricular es la arritmia mantenida más común. El estudio pretende conocer la prevalencia de fibrilación auricular en la población general, y evaluar las características y el manejo de los casos con fibrilación auricular no valvular. Métodos: Estudio transversal exploratorio en una muestra de la población de un Departamento de Salud (n = 30.024) de sujetos mayores de 18 años con diagnóstico electrocardiográfico de fibrilación auricular en la historia clínica electrónica de atención primaria. Se analizan características clínicas, manejo y tratamiento. Resultados: De un total de 629 pacientes con diagnóstico de fibrilación auricular, lo que representa una prevalencia del 2,1% (8,06% en > 65 años), fueron seleccionados para el estudio 505 casos con fibrilación auricular no valvular. La edad media fue 77,4 ± 10 años, 55% mujeres. Se objetivó cardiopatía estructural en el 32% de casos e insuficiencia cardiaca en el 29,5%. El 72% de pacientes recibía tratamiento anticoagulante, 60% con antivitamina K y 12% con anticoagulantes directos. Entre los primeros, solo el 53% mantenía un tiempo en rango terapéutico ≥ 65% según el método de Rosendaal. La forma de presentación persistente-permanente fue más frecuente (60,8%), seguida de la paroxística (39,2%). Conclusiones: La prevalencia de fibrilación auricular fue del 2,1%, aumentando con la edad, con elevada proporción de cardiopatía concomitante. La proporción de pacientes anticoagulados y la calidad de la anticoagulación son deficientes, revelándose así la necesidad de mejor monitorización y mayor utilización de nuevos anticoagulantes directos en los casos indicados.


Abstract Background and objectives: Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of constant arrhythmia. The study aims to know the prevalence of atrial fibrillation in the general population and to assess the features and management of non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Methods: Cross-sectional exploratory study of a population sample from a Health department (n=30.024) of individuals over 18 years with electrocardiographic diagnosis of atrial fibrillation in the primary care electronic medical records. Clinical features, management and treatments are analyzed. Results: Out of a total of 629 patients with an atrial fibrillation diagnosis, which represents a 2.1% prevalence (8.06% in >65 years), 505 cases with non-valvular atrial fibrillation were selected for the study. Average age was 77.4 ± 10 years, 55% female patients. Structural heart disease was detected in 32% of the cases, and cardiac failure in 29.5% of the cases. 72% of the patients were receiving anticoagulation therapy, 60% with antivitamin K drugs and 12% with direct anticoagulants. Among the former group, only 53% kept a time within the therapeutic range ≥65% according to the Rosendaal method. The most frequent presentation was persistentpermanent (60.8%), followed by paroxysmal (39.2%). Conclusions: Prevalence of atrial fibrillation was 2.1%, increasing with age, with a high proportion of accompanying heart disease. The proportion of anticoagulated patients and the quality of anticoagulation were poor, thus revealing the need for improved monitoring and wider use of new direct anticoagulants in the indicated cases.

RESUMO

Copepods from La Plata, Argentina were investigated to characterize the local community of larvivorous copepods inhabiting mosquito breeding sites and to identify new predator species of the mosquitoes which occur in artificial containers, Aedes aegypti and Culex pipiens. Diversity of larvivorous cyclopoids was highest in permanent pools. Predation by sex and age, selectivity on mosquito species, and daily predation rate during five days were studied for Acanthocyclops robustus, Diacyclops uruguayensis, Macrocyclops albidus and Mesocyclops longisetus. Female copepods presented the highest predatory capacity. No predatory preference for mosquito species was found. According to overall predation potential, copepods were ranked as follows: D. uruguayensis < A. robustus < M. albidus < M. longisetus. Copepod tolerance to desiccation and capacity to survive in water from artificial containers were also evaluated. D. uruguayensis and A. robustus survived under dry conditions, but D. uruguayensis showed lower survival in water from cemetery flower vases. M. albidus did not survive under dry conditions and did not tolerate water extracted from artificial containers. M. longisetus survival was not severely reduced after desiccation or breeding in water from flower vases. The Neotropical cyclopoids D. uruguayensis and A. robustus can be considered good candidates and merit further research as biological control agents for mosquitoes. Rev. Biol. Trop. 57 (4): 1059-1068. Epub 2009 December 01.


Se hizo una prospección de copépodos en La Plata, Argentina, con los objetivos de caracterizar la comunidad local de copépodos larvívoros en sitios de cría de mosquitos, e identificar nuevas especies depredadoras de los mosquitos de contenedores artificiales Aedes aegypti y Culex pipiens. La diversidad de ciclopoides larvívoros fue máxima en charcos permanentes. Se examinó la depredación por sexos y edad, la selectividad por especies de mosquito, y la tasa de depredación diaria durante cinco días en Acanthocyclops robustus, Diacyclops uruguayensis, Macrocyclops albidus y Mesocyclops longisetus. Los copépodos hembra presentaron la capacidad depredadora más alta. No se encontró preferencia por alguna especie de mosquito. De acuerdo al potencial de depredación en general, los copépodos se ordenan así: D. uruguayensis < A. robustus < M. albidus < M. longisetus. También se evaluó la tolerancia a la desecación del hábitat y la capacidad de resistir en agua de contenedores artificiales. D. uruguayensis y A. robustus sobrevivieron en condiciones de sequía, pero D. uruguayensis presentó menor supervivencia en agua de floreros de cementerio. M. albidus no sobrevivió condiciones de sequía y no toleró el agua extraída de contenedores artificiales. Los ciclopoides neotropicales D. uruguayensis and A. robustus son buenos candidatos y merecen investigación ulterior como agentes de control biológico de mosquitos.

RESUMO

Background: Patients with Refractory/Relapsed (RIR) acute leukemia (AL) have a poor prognosis. Objective: We aimed to evaluate the chemotherapy regimen fludarabine, cytarabine, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and idarubicin (FLAG-IDA) in patients with RIR AL. Patients: We studied 33 patients with R/R AL. Distribution of the AL subtype was: myeloblastic n=17 (52%), lymphoblastic n=14 (42%),) and biphenotypic n=2 (6%). Results: Complete remission (CR) was achieved in 15 cases (45.5%) and seven patients dead resulting in a mortality of 21.1%. In patients with hematological recovery the median time to neutrophils recovery (> 0.5 x 10º/1) was 24 days (range 10-38); platelet levels of more than 20 x 1Oº/l and 50 x 10º/1 were reached in a median time of 24 (range 17-44) and 27 days (range 18-51), respectively. After CR, five patients underwent allogeneic transplan- tation and 10 patients received a second course of FLAG – IDA. Ten out of 15 patients who achieved CR with FLAG-IDA relapsed at a median of 7.7 months (95% CI 1.8 to 13.6 months). Overall survival (OS) after FLAG-IDA in the surviving cohort had a median of 4 months. We found a significantly better OS in patients who received allogeneic transplantation post-FLAG-IDA than those who did not (median 11.4 months vs. 2.7 monthsj HR 0.29; 95% CI 0.1 to 0.6; p=0.017). Conclusions: In our series, FLAG-IDA demonstrated to be an effective salvage chemotherapy regimen, however, the benefit in survival of this rescue treatment was restrained to patients who unde.rwent al1ogeneic transplantation

RESUMO

Effect of water quality in mosquito breeding sites on the pathogenicity and infectivity of zoospores from the fungus Leptolegnia chapmanii (Straminipila: Peronosporomycetes). The fungus Leptolegnia chapmanii is highly pathogenic to mosquito larvae in Argentina. We studied if physical and chemical characteristics of the water from mosquito breeding sites affect pathogenicity, and the infectivity of zoospores of L. chapmanii. Water samples were taken from pools filled by rains, urban ditches with domestic waste water, pools filled by overflow from Río de la Plata, and flower vases from the Cemetery of La Plata city. Sub-samples of water were analyzed for physical and chemical characteristics, while other sub-samples were used for laboratory bioassays. Containers with 150 ml of water samples, 25 Aedes aegypti larvae, and 2.8 x 105 zoospores of L. chapmanii, were incubated under controlled environment, and larval mortality was recorded after 48 h. There were highly significant differences among mortalities in water from cemetery vases (70.2%), rain pools water (99.5%), and pools with water from Rio de la Plata (95%). There were no significant differences among larval mortalities in water from ditches, rain pools and Río de la Plata pools. Leptolegnia chapmanii was successful as a biological control agent in all kinds of tested water qualities, producing high larval mortality. Rev. Biol. Trop. 57 (1-2): 371-380. Epub 2009 June 30.


Leptolegnia chapmanii es un potente patógeno de larvas de mosquitos. El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar si las características físico-químicas del agua de criaderos de culícidos de importancia sanitaria a nivel mundial afectan la patogenicidad e infectividad de las zoosporas de L. chapmanii. Se tomaron muestras de cuatro tipos de agua en Argentina: de lluvia, de zanja, del Río de La Plata, y de floreros del cementerio local. A una parte del agua se le realizaron estudios físicos-químicos, y otra parte fue utilizada en ensayos. Se colocó 150 ml de cada muestra en recipientes plásticos, con 25 larvas sanas de Aedes aegypti y 2.8 x 105 zoosporas de L. chapmanii. Fueron incubadas a 25 ºC y 12-12 (L-O). La mortalidad larval fue registrada a las 48 horas. Se utilizaron tres recipientes y un control por tratamiento, con tres repeticiones realizadas en distintos días. Se observaron diferencias altamente significativas entre la mortalidad larval en aguas de floreros del cementerio (70.2%), aguas de lluvias (99.53%), y del río de La Plata (95%). No hubo diferencias significativas entre la mortalidad larval en agua de zanja, lluvia y río. Leptolegnia chapmanii resultó exitoso en los cuatro tipos de aguas evaluados, produciendo elevados niveles de mortalidad larval.

RESUMO

In a survey for parasites and pathogens of Aedes aegypti conducted in La Plata, Argentina, an aseptate gregarine was found parasitizing larvae, pupae and adults of this mosquito species. This gregarine species was identified as Ascogregarina culicis based on the morphology and size of gamonts, gametocysts and oocysts. It is the first record of gregarine infections in culicids from Argentina.

RESUMO

Strelkovimermis spiculatus is a common parasite of culicid species in Argentina. Effect of temperature on longevity and infectivity of juvenile preparasites of S. spiculatus was determined at 4, 10, 20 and 27 degrees C. Three containers with 100 ml of dechlorinate water and 300 preparasites (12 hour-old), were placed for each day and temperature, during 40 days (total = 480 containers). Survived preparasites were counted on 12 containers per day (three for each temperature). When number of survived preparasites was determined, second instar larvae of Aedes aegypti were added to each container in a 10:1 ratio (preparasites:mosquito) to determine infectivity of daily survived preparasites. Longevity of preparasites decreased at higher temperatures. Maximum longevity of preparasites maintained at 4, 10, 20 and 27 degrees C were 35, 30, 25 and 27 days, respectively. Survivorship of preparasites, exposed to the same temperatures, varied from 57 to 100 at day two, from 21 to 77 at day five and from 9 to 33 at day ten. Infectivity of preparasites maintained at temperatures from 4 to 27 degrees C was always higher than 70. Extended longevity with maintenance of the infectivity capacity of preparasites, are important attributes to consider S. spiculatus an effective mean of controlling a large number of culicid species between 4 and 27 degrees C.

RESUMO

In laboratory bioassays we tested the predatory capacity of the copepod Mesocyclops annulatus on Aedes aegypti and Culex pipiens larvae. A single adult female of M. annulatus caused 51.6 percent and 52.3 percent mortality of 50 first instar larvae of Ae. aegypti and Cx. pipiens respectively, in a 72 h test period. When alternative food was added to the containers, mortality rates declined to 16 percent and 10.3 percent for Ae. aegypti and Cx. pipiens respectively. When 50 first instar larvae of each of the two mosquito species tested were placed together with a single adult female of M. annulatus, mortality rates were 75.5 percent for Ae. aegypti larvae and 23.5 percent for Cx. pipiens larvae in a three day test period. Different density of adult females of M. annulatus ranged from 5 to 25 females produced mortality rates of Ae. aegypti first instar larvae from 50 percent to 100 percent respectively. When a single adult female of M. annulatus was exposed to an increasing number of first-instar Ae. aegypti larvae ranging from 10 to 100, 100 percent mortality was recorded from 1 to 25 larvae, then mortality declined to 30 percent with 100 larvae. The average larvae killed per 24 h period by a single copepod were 29

RESUMO

The aim of this paper was to assess the prevalence of antibodies to HHV-6 in the general population and study the virus circulation among individuals with cancer, in order to analyze HHV-6 involvement in lymphoproliferative disorders. A total of 200 sera from the general population and 67 from patients with neoplasia were studied. The latter were divided in 3 groups: lymphoma/myeloma, leukemia and non-immune solid tumors. HHV-6 antibodies (IgG and IgM) were assayed by IFA and viral genomes were detected using nested PCR. The prevalence of the infection in the healthy population was 63.5 percent with a titer geometric mean (TGM) of 48.67 +/- 1.23. A control group was obtained by systematic sampling of the healthy population. Among the patients with neoplasia, the prevalence was 95.5 percent. In the lymphoma/myeloma group, TGM was 268.73 +/- 1.62; in the leukemia group it was 151.1 +/- 1.88 and in the non-immunogenic solid tumors group it was 95.67 +/- 1.57. Statistically significant differences were observed (p < 0.01) between the control group and the lymphoma/myeloma and leukemia groups. Serum IgM or free viral genomes were not detected in any serum sample. The antibody prevalence found in the general population documents the high circulation of this lymphotropic virus which could indirectly contribute to the pathogenesis of the lymphoproliferative disorder.

RESUMO

Se analizan los primeros 300 casos de colecistectomía laparoscópica, se describen los elementos técnicos más salientes que realiza el grupo así como una pinza para la destrucción y extracción de los cálculos que fue confeccionada con ese fin. 71,7 por ciento de la población estudiada eran mujeres. En todos los casos se practicó ecografía previa que informaron litiasis en 97 por ciento. La edad promedio fue de 46 años. 35,5 por ciento de los enfermos tenían cirugías previas. Se realizó el análisis con el programa informática EPI-INFO 6. 37 por ciento de los pacientes tenían adherencias vesiculares, en 83,3 por ciento la disección del bacinete fue simple, ocurrió sangrado intraoperatorio en 8,66 por ciento, en 31 por ciento había otras ramas arteriales además de la cística, ocurrió rotura vesicular intraoperatoria en 21 por ciento. El procedimiento se convirtió en cirugía abierta en 4,66 por ciento, no hubo que lamentar muertes ni sección de la vía biliar principal. Se reoperaron dos casos por sangrado posoperatorio, se utilizó la colangiografía con criterio selectivo en 3 por ciento de los enfermos. Se compararon los primeros 130 casos con los 150 últimos: no hubo diferencias en el promedio de edad, ocurrencia de roturas vesiculares ni índice de conversión, la pared vesicular fue informada con edema en 4,66 por ciento de los primeros 150 con relación a 25,3 por ciento de los últimos, se dejó drenaje en el doble de los casos correspondiente a los últimos 150, en los que el promedio del tiempo operatorio disminuyó en 17 minutos y estuvieron internados en promedio 24 horas. Estos resultados comparados con la literatura nos indican que estamos dentro de los valores aceptados, por lo cual nuestra experiencia es válida, continuando con la realización de este procedimiento

RESUMO

El uso de la cocaína en el Perú ha atravesado por tres etapas. En la época prehispánica mediante la masticación de la hoja y la absorción del alcaloide a través de las mucosas orales. En el comienzo de este siglo por la inhalación intranasal del clorhidrato de cocaína. En los años setenta fumando la pasta de cocaína. Las tres formas de consumo se mantienen hasta hoy, predominando la última entre los sectores populares. La infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH-1) hizo su aparición en el Perú hace diez años extendiéndose rápidamente a todas las capas sociales del país, especialmente entre las más pobres. En 163 países infectados con el VIH-1 en el Hospital Dos de Mayo, estudiados mediante un protocolo especial, se ha comprobado que treinta y cuatro (20.8 por ciento) abusaban de la cocaína en forma no parental. Todos los enfermos comenzaron a usar el alcaloide antes de contraer la infección por el VIH-1. Se analiza las caraterísticas demográficas, clínicas y epidemiológicas de estos sujetos. Asimismo, se describe otros factores de riesgo para la diseminación de la infección en este grupo. En conclusión, tanto el abuso de la cocaína como la contaminación con el VIH-1, son hoy graves problemas de salud pública. Se requiere tomar urgentes medidas preventivas y terapéuticas para evitar la extensión de ambas epidemias en nuestro país. Estas acciones correctivas sólo tendrán éxito si se adoptan tanto por las agencias gubernamentales como por los grupos vecinales, particulares y familiares.
