RESUMO

Objetivo: Describir las características clínicas, diagnósticas y terapéuticas de los pacientes pediátricos con diagnóstico al alta de empiema pleural internados en el Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia desde enero 2000 hasta diciembre 2004. Material y Métodos: Se revisaron las historias clínicas, las variables investigadas fueron edad, sexo, estudio de líquido pleural, cultivos, tratamiento, complicaciones y tiempo de hospitalización. Se usó X2 de Pearson para el análisis estadístico. Resultados: Hubo 22 pacientes con diagnóstico de empiema la relación hombres/mujeres fue de 9/2; la mediana de edad fue 3 años (1 a 10 años), la mediana de días de hospitalización fue 11.5 días (3 a 28 días). En 8 pacientes (36.3 por ciento) hubo complicaciones: 7 bulas, 3 neumotórax, 1 fístula broncopleural y 1 absceso pulmonar. Se halló más tiempo de hospitalización asociado al tratamiento quirúrgico (p<0.05). Se identificó el germen en 12 casos (54.5 popr ciento) (hemocultivo: 2, cultivo líquido pleural:10, coaglutinación enlíquido pleural: 1); siendo Streptococcus pneumoniae el más frecuente (58.3 por ciento) seguido por Haemophilus influenzae (25 por ciento) y Staphylococcus aureus (16.6 por ceinto). En 1 paciente con tratamiento quirúrgico se encontró bacilo ácido alcohol resistente positivo en biopsia pleural. Conclusiones: El empiema es más común en pacientes varones menores de 5 años (77 por ciento), siendo el germen más comúnmente aislado Streptococcus pneumoniae seguido de Haemophilus influenzae y Staphylococcus aureus. Hubo coexistencia de empiema bacteriano y bacilo ácido alcohol resistente positivo en biopsia pleural en 1 paciente con tratamiento quirúrgico. El 31.8 por ciento de pacientes con tratamiento médico fracasó por lo que requirieron tratamiento quirúrgico. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas al comparar el tratamiento médico (15 casos) versus tratamiento quirúrgico (7 casos) respecto a complicaciones.


Objective: To describe the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics of pediatric patients with diagnosis of pleural empyema hospitalized at National Hospital Cayetano Heredia from january2000 to december 2004. Material and methods: Clinical histories were reviewed being the investigated variables age, sex, study of pleural liquid, cultures, treatment, complications and time of hospitalization. For the statistical analysis it was used x2 of Pearson. Results: There were 22 patients with diagnosis of empyema. The ratio male/female was of 9/2; the median of age was 3 years (1 to 10 years), the median of days of hospitalization was 11. 5 days (3 to 28 days). In 8 patients (36.3 per cent) there were complications (bullae: 7, pneumothorax: 3. bronchopleural fistula: 1. pulmonary abscess: 1). The time of hospitalization was longer associated to the surgical treatment (p<0.05). The germ was identified in 12 cases (54.5 per cent) (Blood culture: 2, pleural liquid Culture: 10. Agglutination in pleural liquid: 1) being Streptococcus pneumoniae, the most frequent (58.3 per cent) followed by Haemophilus influenzae (25 per cent) and Staphylococcus aureus (16.6 per cent). In 1 patient with surgical treatment acid alcohol resistant bacillus positive was isolated in pleural biopsy. Conclusions: Empyema is the most common in male patient younger than 5 years (77 per cent) being the germ more commonly isolated Streptococcus pneumoniae followed by Haemophilus influenzaeand Staphylococcus aureus. There was coexistence of empyema and acid alcohol resistant bacillus positive in pleural biopsy of one patient with surgical treatment. Medical treatment failured in 31.8 per cent of patients and requiered surgical treatment. There were no predictive factors at the entrance or in pleural liquid when comparing medical treatment (15 cases) versus surgical ...

RESUMO

We report the case of a patient with Hemoglobin S / Thalassemia. It is feasible to recognize this infrequent disease by its clinical presentation and the aid of clinical laboratory. On this patient, the diagnosis was established based on the clinical findings, hematological evaluation (with careful observation of the red cell morphology and reticulocyte count) and electrophoretic analysis of hemoglobin. We discusse the physiopathology, clinical manifestations, treatment and alternative of prevention of this disease.
