ABSTRACT

Introducción: El parvovirus humano B19 (B19V) es una de las principales causas de anemia fetal que puede ocasionar hidropesía fetal grave, siendo el responsable de un 18-27% de las hidropesías fetales no inmunitarias. La infección por el B19V presenta brotes epidémicos cada 4-6 años, ocasionando un mayor número de casos de anemia fetal en los que es necesario realizar tratamiento. Objetivo: Conocer los resultados de los fetos con infección por B19V, su evolución, manejo y resultados perinatales. Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo de los casos de infección congénita por B19V, diagnosticados en un periodo de 5 años. Resultados: Se analizaron 14 fetos con infección y afectación por el B19V. Un 71,4% de los fetos tuvieron hidropesía fetal. El hallazgo ecográfico más frecuente fue la cardiomegalia (78,6%). Se realizó transfusión intrauterina a 7 fetos. Fallecieron un 40% de los fetos. De los fetos a los que se les realizó TIU, un 42,85% falleció tras el procedimiento, todos ellos presentaron una pancitopenia grave arregenerativa. Conclusiones: Aunque es una patología de buen pronóstico, los resultados dependen en gran medida del estado hemodinámico del feto, así como el grado de afectación hematológica y los riesgos de las técnicas invasivas. Existen parámetros de anemia fetal como es la presencia de regurgitación de la válvula tricúspide que ayudan a predecir un grado de afectación fetal y, por lo tanto, debería tenerse en cuenta para valorar la realización de técnicas invasivas para estimación directa del grado de anemia fetal


Introduction: The human parvovirus B19 virus (B19V) is one of the most common infectious causes of foetal anaemia, which can lead to severe foetal hydrops. This infection causes 17-27% of non-immune foetal hydrops. Epidemic outbreaks of B19V infection occur at intervals of 4-6 years, increasing the number of cases of foetal anaemia requiring treatment. Objective: To determine the findings in foetuses with B19V infection, the clinical course of these pregnancies, their management and perinatal outcomes. Material and methods: A retrospective study of cases of congenital B19V infection diagnosed over a 5-year period. Results: We found 14 foetuses with B19V infection. Hydrops was present in 71.4% of the cases. The most frequent ultrasound finding was cardiomegaly (78.6%). Exchange transfusion was carried out in 7 foetuses. Overall mortality was 40%. Of the 7 treated foetuses, 42.85% died after the procedure. All of them had severe aregenerative pancytopenia. Conclusion: The results of B19V infections largely depend on the degree of the anaemia, the haemodynamic status of the foetus, and the risk of invasive procedures. Some parameters, such as the presence of tricuspid regurgitation, can be used to diagnose foetal anaemia and could therefore be useful as a tool to evaluate the use of invasive procedures to directly estimate the degree of foetal anaemiA

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To describe the epidemiological and clinical pattern of a Bordetella pertussis infection (whooping cough) among hospitalised infants in a paediatric hospital in Gran Canaria island (Spain). METHODS: A retrospective review of the patient hospital records was performed considering only those with a microbiological diagnosis of pertussis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the period September 2003-September 2007. RESULTS: Forty nine patients were identified, of which 47 were < 6 months of age. The annual incidence of hospitalisation was estimated between 103.9 and 204.5 cases per 100,000 infants < 12 months old. Household members were the potential source of infection in at least 65.3 % of the cases. Clinical data were obtained from 47 patients. Complications occurred in 23.4 % of the patients (11 infants), three of them died (6.4 %). Viral coinfections occurred in 33.3 % of the infants diagnosed with pertussis. CONCLUSIONS: Pertussis presents a high complication rate among infants < 6 months old. Pertussis must be considered in the differential diagnosis of infants < 6 months old who present with severe pneumonia. Immunization strategies in the adult population must be reviewed and updated in order to attain higher protection of the more vulnerable paediatric population.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. El objetivo del estudio fue conocer el patrón clínico-epidemiológico de la tos ferina en niños diagnosticados en un hospital pediátrico de la isla de Gran Canaria. Métodos. Se revisaron retrospectivamente las historias clínicas de los pacientes con diagnóstico de infección por Bordetella pertussis mediante reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR) en el período septiembre 2003-septiembre 2007. Resultados. Se detectaron 49 casos de tos ferina, 47 en menores de 6 meses. La incidencia anual de hospitalización osciló entre 103,9 y 204,5 por cada 100.000 niños menores de 12 meses. En al menos el 65,3 % de los casos, la posible fuente de contagio fue un adulto cercano. Se obtuvieron datos clínicos de 47 pacientes. Once niños (23,4 %) presentaron complicaciones, y tres de ellos fallecieron (6,4 %). El 33,3 % de los niños presentaron coinfección con virus. Conclusiones. La tos ferina presenta una alta tasa de complicaciones en lactantes menores 6 meses y debe considerarse en el diagnóstico diferencial de la neumonía grave del lactante. Deberían revisarse las estrategias de vacunación en la población adulta para conseguir una mayor protección de la población pediátrica más susceptible
