ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The causal relation between rosacea and Helicobacter pylori infection is discussed. We evaluated the clinical evolution of rosacea after infection eradication. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We have prospectively studied 44 patients diagnosed with rosacea. Helicobacter pylori infection was determined, and infected patients were treated with eradication therapy. The evolution of dermatological symptoms in a subgroup of 29 infected patients in whom eradication had been achieved was followed during 16.8 (+/- 17.8) months. Median age was 50.6 (+/- 14.1) years for 22 women (75.9%) and 7 men (24.1%). Clinical response according to gender and clinical subtype of rosacea was evaluated. RESULTS: Complete improvement was observed in 10 patients (34.5%; 95% CI: 18.6-54.3%), relevant improvement in 9 (31.1%; 95% CI: 16-51%), poor improvement in 5 (17.2%; 95% CI: 6.5-36.4%), and absence of improvement in 5 cases (17.2%; 95% CI: 6.5-36.4%). No significant differences in dermatological evolution according to sex were observed. Regarding subtype of rosacea there was a relevant improvement in 83.3% (95% CI: 64.1-93.8%) of cases with papulopustular type as opposed to 36.5% (95% CI: 20-56.1%) of cases with erythematous predominance, p = 0.02. CONCLUSIONS: Based on these results, the relation between Helicobacter pylori and rosacea is supported, and infection should be investigated in these patients because an appreciable percentage of patients diagnosed with rosacea and Helicobacter pylori infection can benefit from eradication therapy, mainly in the papulopustular subtype.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: la relación causal entre la rosácea y la infección porHelicobacter pylori es discutida. Se propuso valorar la evoluciónde los síntomas cutáneos de la rosácea tras la erradicación de lainfección.Pacientes y métodos: se estudió prospectivamente a 44 pacientesdiagnosticados de rosácea. Se determinó la infección porHelicobacter pylori y se administró terapia erradicadora a los pacientesinfectados. Se siguió durante 16,8 (±17,8) meses la evoluciónde los síntomas dermatológicos del subgrupo de 29 pacientesinfectados en los que se había conseguido la erradicación. La edadmedia fue 50,6 (±14,1) años, siendo 22 mujeres (75,9%) y 7 varones(24,1%). Se valoró la respuesta clínica en función del sexo ydel subtipo clínico de rosácea.Resultados: se observó mejoría completa en 10 pacientes(34,5%; IC95%: 18,6-54,3%), mejoría importante en 9 (31,1%;IC95%: 16,5-51%), mejoría escasa en 5 (17,2%; IC95%: 6,5-36,4%) y ausencia de mejoría en 5 casos (17,2%; IC95%: 6,5-36,4%). No se observaron diferencias significativas en función delsexo. Con respecto al subtipo de rosácea experimentaron buenarespuesta el 83,3% (IC95%: 64,1-93,8%) de las rosáceas pápulopustulosasfrente al 36,5% (IC95%: 20-56,1%) de las rosáceas depredominio eritematoso, p = 0,02.Conclusiones: con estos datos se sigue apoyando la relaciónHelicobacter pylori-rosácea y se debería investigar la infección enlos pacientes con esta enfermedad, ya que un porcentaje apreciablede pacientes diagnosticados de rosácea e infectados con Helicobacterpylori pueden beneficiarse de la terapia erradicadora dela infección, sobre todo en el subtipo pápulo-pustuloso

ABSTRACT

La trombosis portal es la causa más común de hipertensión portal prehepática. Representa un trastorno poco frecuente, que aparece normalmente relacionado con la existencia de cirrosis, enfermedades malignas hepatobiliares o alteraciones de la coagulación, siendo estas últimas uno de los factores de riesgo más importantes. El tratamiento anticoagulante debe emplearse en todos los casos de trombosis portal aguda y en la trombosis portal crónica cuando se identifique un factor protrombótico causal. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 29 años, diagnosticado de hipertensión portal prehepática, secundaria a trombosis portal y esplénica, que debutó con la aparición clínica de esplenomegalia y de alteraciones de la coagulación. Tras detectar un déficit de proteína C se instauró tratamiento anticoagulante. Un año después el paciente no ha presentado complicaciones en relación con su patología ni con el tratamiento pautado (AU)


Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is the most frequent cause of hypertension portal extrahepatic. It is a rare disorder an the main risk factors are cirrhosis, hepatobiliary malignancies and prothrombotic disorders, which have been identified as major risk . Therapy with anticoagulants must to be considered in acute portal trombosis or chronic one and proven hypercoagulability. We present the case of a twenty-nine years old patient, with extrahepatic portal hypertension secondary to portal and splenic vein thrombosis, who was diagnosed because of splenomegaly and a coagulation disorder. A protein C deficiency were discovered and anticoagulation and beta-blocker therapy were iniciated. One year later the patient had not presented complications concerning to the disease or to the treatment (AU)

ABSTRACT

Inflammatory bowel disease basically consists of two entities: ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Both processes are characterized by chronic inflammation of the intestine, which in the case of CD may affect the entire digestive tract. We present the case of a young man who was diagnosed with esophageal CD after presenting dysphagia and odynophagia. Intestinal involvement was subsequently found. Esophageal involvement is infrequent and as the first manifestation of CD it is extremely rare. It should, however, be borne in mind in patients with esophageal ulcerations without symptoms or endoscopic signs compatible with peptic etiology, even though other indications of inflammatory disease are absent.

ABSTRACT

We describe a case of vasculitis with colonic involvement/alterations associated with hepatitis C virus infection. Both the association of hepatitis C with vasculitis type periarteritis nodosa and the prominent involvement of the colon are infrequent. The presentation of this case--fever of unknown origin--as well as the difficulties of treating a patient who is a hepatitis C virus carrier are discussed.
