Reacción medicamentosa grave. Terapéutica combinada con intacglobin. Presentación de un caso / Serious medicamentous reaction. Therapy combined with Intacglobine. Presentation of a case

RESUMEN

El síndrome de Stevens-Johnson constituye una reacción mucocutánea grave. Se presenta un caso tratado con esteroides e intacglobin. Paciente de 22 años, ingresado con el diagnóstico de leptospirosis y tratado con penicilina y metamizol (dipirona). Al alta se observaron lesiones ampollares que atribuyeron a una posible varicela. Se ingresa nuevamente con el diagnóstico de un eritema multiforme mayor, y se utilizó altas dosis de esteroides en los primeros días, y se incorporó el intacglobín a partir del quinto día, con la disminución del esteroide y una satisfactoria evolución. Esta es una alternativa que requiere de más trabajos que la avalen como modalidad terapéutica.

ABSTRACT

Stevens-Johnson’s Syndrome is a serious muco-cutaneous reaction. We present a case treated with steroids and Intacglobine. A patient aged 22 years was admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of leptospirosis and he was treated with penicillin and metamizole. At the time of discharge some ampullar lesions were observed that were considered a possible chicken pox. He was admitted again with a diagnosis of Major Multiform Erythema, using high doses of steroids for the first day, and then Intacglobin was incorporated at the fifth day, with the decrease of steroids doses and satisfactory evolution. This is an alternative requiring more terms endorsing it as a therapeutic modality.
