ABSTRACT

Estudio retrospectivo longitudinal que evalúa las características clínicas de los pacientes diagnosticados de bursitis durante un año en una sección de reumatología de un hospital terciario, comparándolos con resultados previos de la bibliografía. Se incluyó a 52 pacientes, diagnosticados todos de bursitis según criterios clínicos y ecográficos. De ellos, 19 pacientes (36,5 por ciento) presentaban bursitis superficial, y 33 (63,5 por ciento) bursitis profunda. La mayoría de las bursitis superficiales ocurrieron en varones (84,2 por ciento), con una media de 49,2 años de edad. En cambio, las bursitis profundas se dieron predominantemente en mujeres (78,8 por ciento) con una edad media de 53,8 años. Entre los factores predisponentes para las bursitis superficiales encontramos diferentes profesiones (albañil, fontanero, carpintero y ama de casa), frente a las profundas, en que los pacientes eran predominantemente sedentarios (el 100 por ciento de las bursitis glúteas). Las radiografías simples fueron normales, excepto en un 18,8 por ciento de las bursitis superficiales, en las que se observó un aumento de partes blandas. El diagnóstico clínico fue confirmado ecográficamente en todos los casos. Se obtuvo líquido de las bursas en 17 de las bursitis superficiales (89,4 por ciento), y en todos ellos se practicó examen en fresco y cultivo. En ningún caso se observaron cristales. El cultivo fue positivo en 8 pacientes (47 por ciento), y Staphylococcus aureus fue el germen aislado con más frecuencia (75 por ciento). Otros microorganismos aislados fueron: Streptoccus piogenes y Staphylococcus epidermidis. Sólo en cinco (15,1 por ciento) de las bursitis profundas se obtuvo líquido bursal: el cultivo fue negativo en todos los casos, detectándose la presencia de cristales de hidroxiapatita en un caso. El tratamiento más empleado en las bursitis superficiales consistió en la administración de antibióticos (89,5 por ciento); en cambio, en las bursitis profundas, predominó el uso de la infiltración local de esteroides (57,5 por ciento).Conclusiones: Las diferencias etiológicas encontradas entre las bursitis superficiales y las profundas pueden ser de utilidad a la hora de escoger el tratamiento correcto desde el inicio (AU)

ABSTRACT

Osteoid osteoma is a nonmalignant tumour that rarely localizes intraarticularly. When this happens, the tumour provokes arthritis and its recognition is delayed from months to years. We report the case of a 34 year old man with a previously known HIV infection, but no evidence of immunosuppression. He develops a chronic monoarthritis of the left elbow that is initially interpreted as infectious disease. CT provides diagnostic suspicion of osteoma, that is confirmed by pathologic examination two years after the onset of the clinical complaints. CT is the radiologic technique of election in the evaluation of osteoid osteoma. Synovitis is interpreted in the literature as secondary to prostaglandin secretion by the tumour.

ABSTRACT

Between January, 1990 and May, 1991, we administered LAK immunotherapy using the intralymphatic route to 25 patients with metastatic cancer resistant to conventional therapies. In the preparation of the immunotherapy, we followed the technique described by Pizza G. et al. The age of our patients ranged between 50 and 75 years and their Karnofsky's indexes were above 70%. The histological type of the metastasis were determined by Rx, ECO and/or CAT before and after the administration of the immunotherapy. In the intralymphatic administration, we followed the technique described by Pizza G. et al. The immunological therapy was administered on days 1, 21, 90 and 111 and the clinical response was assessed by RC, RP, EE and F. The immunological behaviour of the host was assessed through the determination of lymphoid populations (CD2, CD4, CD5 and CD8) and cytolytic cells were studied with monoclonal antibodies CD and CD16. Such immunological study was carried out before the administration of each immunotherapy series. In 7 out of 25 patients (28%), we were able to administer the four LAK series. Such patients were subsequently studied, observing that, although tumoral lesions did not increase in size, they did not disappear and, thus, they were classified as clinically stable. Clinical and analytical toxicity was null. The immunological study did not show any statistically significant changes and the activity of cytotoxic cells (NK) was not modified.
