RESUMEN
La distrofia muscular de Duchenne es una enfermedad muscular grave ligada al cromosoma X que afecta el gen que codifica la distrofina, proteína fundamental para el mantenimiento de la fibra muscular. Se caracteriza por debilidad muscular de inicio en la infancia que sigue un curso progresivo. Sin intervención alguna, los pacientes pierden la marcha antes de la adolescencia y el fallecimiento ocurre en la segunda década de la vida por complicaciones respiratorias o problemas cardiacos. Actualmente no existe tratamiento curativo, pero la terapia con corticoides y el manejo multidisciplinario y ortopédico modifican la historia natural de esta miopatía. En este artículo se presentan dos casos clínicos de niños que presentaron dificultad para realizar actividades físicas vigorosas. Se les diagnosticó distrofia muscular de Duchenne confirmada por creatina-fosfocinasa y electromiografía, con mejoría del cuadro clínico, gracias al tratamiento instaurado.
ABSTRACT
The Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a bound serious muscular illness to the X-linked chromosome that affects to the gene that codes the dystrophin, protein important for the maintenance of the muscle fiber.
