RESUMEN
Describimos las características clínicas y demográficas en pacientes adultos con espondilitis tuberculosa así como un análisis exploratorio que buscó establecer características que contribuyeron al desarrollo de esta enfermedad, en un hospital de tercer nivel de Lima. Realizamos un estudio tipo serie de casos y describimos 33 casos recolectados entre 1999-2009. 18 pacientes (55 por ciento) fueron varones, la media de edad fue 31 años (IQ 23 a 51 años) y un tiempo de enfermedad de 3 meses (IQ 1 a 8 meses). El principal síntoma fue lumbalgia en 28 (85 por ciento). Los segmentos más comprometidos fueron el torácico en 28 (60 por ciento) casos y lumbar en 13 (28 por ciento). Tuberculosis pulmonar se encontró en 14 (42 por ciento) casos. Veinticuatro (73 por ciento) recibieron esquema I. La duración de tratamiento fue 10,5 ± 4,2 meses . Las características clínicas, diagnósticas fueron similares a series nacionales previas e internacionales.
ABSTRACT
We describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of adult patients with tuberculous spondylitis as well as an exploratory analysis that seeked to establish patient characteristics that contributed to the development of this disorder at a reference hospital in Lima. This is a case-series descriptive study where data collection from 33 medical records of patients from 1999 to 2009 was done. Eighteen (55 percent) were male. Median age was 31 years (IQR 23 to 51 years). Median time of symptoms was 3 months (IQR 1 to 8 months). The most frequent symptom was back pain in 28 (85 percent). The most frequently affected areas were the thoracic spine involved in 28 (60 percent) cases and lumbar spine in 13 (28 percent). Pulmonary tuberculosis was present in fourteen (42 percent) cases. Twenty four (73 percent) patients received first line treatment. Treatment duration was 10.5 ± 4.2 months. Clinical and diagnostic characteristics were similar to previous Peruvian case reports and current literature.
