ABSTRACT

La miocarditis por Coxiella burnetii es una forma rara depresentación clínica de la fiebre Q aguda, y, al igual que la pericarditis,sola o asociadas, se detecta en alrededor del uno porciento de los casos de fiebre Q aguda. Se presenta un caso demiocarditis por fiebre Q aguda, en un varón de 55 años, que ingresócon clínica de insuficiencia cardíaca congestiva, tras síndromefebril autolimitado. La ecocardiografía reveló un ventrículoizquierdo muy dilatado con hipoquinesia difusa y fracciónde eyección del 45 por ciento. El cateterismo cardíaco confirmódichos hallazgos, siendo las coronarias normales. El estudio serológicofue compatible con fiebre Q aguda. La evolución contratamiento con furosemida, espirolactona, captopril, acenocumaroly doxiciclina fue favorable, y la ecocardiografía al cabode 11 meses puso de manifiesto importante mejoría de las alteracionescardíacas, persistiendo en dicho momento criterios serológicosde fiebre Q aguda


The myocarditis by Coxiella burnetii is a rare form of clinicalpresentation of acute Q fever, and, with the pericarditis, onlyor in association, is detected in one per cent of cases of acute Qfever. A case of myocarditis by acute Q fever is showed, in a man55-year-old who was admitted with congestive heart failure clinical,after self-limited febrile syndrome. The echocardiographyrevealed a very dilated left ventricle with a global decreaseof the mobility and ejection fraction of 45 percent. Thecardiac catheterization confirmed these findings. The coronaryarteries were normal. The serologic study was compatible withacute Q fever. The evolution with treatment with furosemide,spirolactone, captopril, acenocumarol and doxycycline was favourable,and the echocardiography after 11 months showedimportant improvement of the cardiac alterations, persisting inthis moment serology of acute Q fever

ABSTRACT

Se trata de un hombre de 73 años que ingresó en nuestro hospital para evaluación de debilidad generalizada, hipertensión arterial de reciente comienzo e hipocaliemia. Durante su estancia hospitalaria se demostró hipocaliemia intensa y refractaria, reacción leucoeritroblástica en sangre periférica y enfermedad pulmonar intersticial. La actividad de renina plasmática basal y aldosteronemia fueron normales y los valores de hormona adrenocorticotrópica (ACTH) y cortisol en orina mostraron criterios bioquímicos de síndrome de Cushing ACTH-dependiente. Por biopsia de médula ósea se demostró metástasis de carcinoma de células pequeñas de probable origen pulmonar, y tras ello se procedió a seguimiento paliativo. Se comenta la rareza del síndrome y las peculiaridades de la asociación de hipertensión arterial con hipocaliemia (AU)

ABSTRACT

A woman of 75 years old was admitted at our hospital for evaluation of worsening and weakness in inferior limbs. Several vertebral fractures by crushing, one doubtful discitis, an infiltrate with cavitation in the right superior lobe and one infiltrate in the left superior lobe were detected. In the biopsy of the consolidation a filamentous fungus was watched and in the bronchial washing specimen culture grew Aspergillus terreus. The infiltrates disappeared with liposomal Amphotericin B remaining with oral Itraconazol during three months more. The clinical and analytical data demonstrate the existence of a Overlap syndrome associate to antiphospholipid-antibody syndrome. We comment the peculiarity of the infection by Aspergillus terreus in patients who have not been in critical care and the good response at treatment with liposomal Amphotericin B. It contrasts with the high mortality referred in a recent review. Other aspects to comment are the coexistence with a collagen vascular and an antiphospholipid-antibody syndrome with the higher titles of IgM ACA that we have found in literature.

ABSTRACT

Una mujer de 79 años ingresó en nuestro hospital para evaluación de distensión abdominal y cuadro constitucional. Se objetivó ascitis y cavernomatosis portal por ecografía, revelando el cultivo del líquido ascítico crecimiento de Rhodococcus equi. A pesar del tratamiento experimenta deterioro, y tras exitus se realiza necropsia, que demuestra carcinoma pancreático extenso. Se comenta la rareza de la infección peritoneal por Rhodococcus equi y la insistencia de la literatura en considerar a este germen como contaminante (AU)

ABSTRACT

Una mujer de 65 años ingresó en nuestro hospital por malestar general y distensión abdominal. En su adolescencia padeció pleuresía tuberculosa, que curó dejando como secuelas paquipleuritis residual. Tres años antes se le realizó nefrectomía izquierda, donde se detectaron granulomas no necrotizantes con baciloscopia negativa. En el estudio actual el líquido ascítico presentó pleocitosis mononuclear y la laparoscopia reveló nódulos blanquecinos diseminados por todo el peritoneo, observándose granulomas no necrotizantes con baciloscopia negativa en la biopsia peritoneal. En la orina se cultivó Mycobacterium tuberculosis. La evolución posterior tras tuberculostáticos ha sido hacia la curación, configurando en conjunto una historia clínica típica de tuberculosis latente tardía (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: A case of hepatic fibrosis in adult polycystic liver disease is reported. This association, commonly present in infancy, is exceptional in the adult polycystic liver disease. PATIENT: We report a 69-years-old female with adult polycystic kidney and liver disease with fatal hepatic failure, portal hypertension and renal failure. An autopsy was performed showing hepatic and renal polycystic disease with hepatic fibrosis. CONCLUSION: Hepatic fibrosis is a rarely associated phenomenon with adult polycystic liver disease. This data may suggest a relation of this entity with infancy fibropolycystic liver disease.

ABSTRACT

Over a 2-year period, 3 patients with deep venous thrombosis associated to advanced pulmonary tuberculosis have been observed. One of them died suddenly, probably due to thromboembolic complications. In the other two cases, a triggering factor of venous thrombosis, probably related to tuberculosis, was detected and their evolution was satisfactory. The high frequency of antiphospholipid antibodies detected in the tuberculosis and the potential relationship between these and deficit of protein S is mentioned. Advanced pulmonary tuberculosis is described as a risk factor for the development of venous thrombosis in patients with negative serology for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and 2. We recommend not to use deep venous catheters and we stress the potential value of heparin prophylactic therapy in order to prevent venous thrombosis and its complications.
