ABSTRACT

Pacientes y métodos: Seis niños de 4-8 años de edad, 4 varones, con hematemesis y/o melenas, fueron diagnosticados de gastritis hemorrágica aguda en un periodo de 6 semanas durante los meses de octubre y noviembre de 2007. Se realizaron las siguientes pruebas: hemograma, pruebas de coagulación, frotis faríngeo y rectal para virus, bacterias y hongos, serologías virales y serología y test de urea-C13 espirado para Helicobacter pylori. Resultados: Un niño presentaba un cuadro febril, 5 niños dolor abdominal, 6 hematemesis, 3 melenas y 3 heces negras. Ninguno de los niños sufría gastroenteritis aguda. Las pruebas de coagulación fueron normales en los 6 niños. Cuatro de los niños tenían un nivel de hemoglobina <8,5 g/dL. La endoscopia digestiva alta mostró signos de sangrado o de gastritis aguda en todos ellos. Se aisló el enterovirus Coxsackie A en los cultivos faríngeo y rectal del caso índice, y se detectó una serología de enterovirus IgM positiva en otros 3 casos. No se aisló ni identificó H. pylori u otros patógenos en ningún niño. Conclusiones: En 4 de los 6 niños con un brote epidémico de gastritis hemorrágica se pudo comprobar la asociación de infección aguda por enterovirus. La gastritis hemorrágica era una manifestación no descrita hasta ahora en las infecciones por enterovirus (AU)


Introduction: The acute hemorrhagic gastritis is a rare pathologyin pediatric age. There are no references in the medical literature of outbreaks of hemorrhagic gastritis. Patients and methods: Six children between 4 and 8 years of age, 4 males, with hematemesis and/or melenas were diagnosed with acute hemorrhagic gastritis in a period of 6 weeks during the months of October and November 2007. Different exams were carried out: full blood count, clotting tests, rectal and pharyngeal swabs for viruses, bacteria and fungi, viral serology’s and C-13 urea breath test for Helicobacter pylori. Results: One child had fever, 5 children abdominal pain, 6children hematemesis, 3 melenas and 3 black feces. None of the children had signs or symptoms of acute gastroenteritis. The coagulation test was normal in the children. Four of the children had hemoglobin below 8.5 g/dL. The upper digestive endoscopy (UDE) showed signals of bleeding or of acute gastritis in all of them. The enterovirus Coxsackie virus A was isolated in the pharynx and rectal culture of the first patient and in 3 other cases. IgM positive serology for enterovirus was found in one patient. Helicobacter pylori or other pathogens were not found in any child. Conclusions: In 4 of the 6 children an outbreak of hemorrhagic gastritis was verified with the relationship to the acute infection by enterovirus. The hemorrhagic gastritis was a manifestation, which had not been described until now in enterovirus infections (AU)
