ABSTRACT
Introducción: El trasplante de microbiota fecal (TMF) es un tratamiento avalado por evidencia científica amplia y muy efectivo en el manejo de la infección por Clostridioides difficile (CD). El objetivo de este estudio es analizar su efectividad y seguridad en un ámbito de práctica clínica real. Métodos: Estudio observacional retrospectivo, unicéntrico y descriptivo, en el que se recogieron todos los TMF realizados entre mayo de 2016 y diciembre de 2020. Se definió como éxito técnico la administración exitosa del preparado fecal en el tracto gastrointestinal del receptor y éxito clínico la desaparición de la diarrea en las primeras 72 h tras el procedimiento y ausencia de recidiva a las ocho semanas. Resultados: Se realizaron 15 TMF a 13 pacientes. La edad media de los pacientes fue de 73 ± 19,4 años (rango: 40 a 98 años); siendo el 60% mujeres. La indicación del TMF fue la colitis recidivante por CD en el 84,6%. Todos los TMF se realizaron por colonoscopia y de donantes emparentados. Con un primer procedimiento, el TMF fue efectivo en 11 de 13 pacientes (84,61%; IC 95%; 54,55-98,07). El tiempo hasta la resolución de los síntomas fue menos de 48 h en todos los casos. El seguimiento postrasplante fue de 25,66 ± 17,5 meses. No se registraron complicaciones precoces ni tardías significativas en el seguimiento. Conclusión: El TMF es un procedimiento sencillo, eficaz y seguro en la infección por CD, incluso en pacientes de edad muy avanzada o con grandes comorbilidades.(AU)
Introduction: Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a treatment supported by wide scientific evidence and proved to be very effective in the management of Clostridioides difficile (CD) infection. The objective of this study is to analyze its effectiveness and safety in a real clinical practice setting. Methods: Retrospective, single-center and descriptive observational study in which all FMT performed between May 2016 and December 2020 were included. Technical success was defined as the successful administration of the fecal preparation in the patient's gastrointestinal tract and clinical success the disappearance of diarrhea in the first 72 h after the procedure with no relapse within the following 8 weeks after the therapy was started. Results: 15 FMT were performed in 13 patients. The mean age of the patients was 73 ± 19,4 years (range: 4098 years); being 60% women. The indication for FMT was relapsing colitis due to CD in 84.6%. All FMTs were performed by colonoscopy and from related donors. With a first procedure, the TMF was effective in 11 of 13 patients (84.61%; 95% CI; 54.5598.07). Time until resolution of symptoms was less than 48h in all cases. Post-transplant follow-up was 25.66 ± 17.5 months. No significant short or long-term complications were recorded at follow-up. Conclusion: TMF is a simple, effective and safe procedure in CD infection, even in elderly patients or those with great comorbidities.(AU)

INTRODUCTION: Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a treatment supported by wide scientific evidence and proved to be very effective in the management of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). The objective of this study is to analyze its effectiveness and safety in a real clinical practice setting. METHODS: Retrospective, single-center and descriptive observational study in which all FMT performed between May 2016 and December 2020 were included. Technical success was defined as the successful administration of the faecal preparation in the patient's gastrointestinal tract and clinical success the disappearance of diarrhoea in the first 72â¯h after the procedure with no relapse within the following 8 weeks after the therapy was started. RESULTS: 15 FMT were performed in 13 patients. Median age was 79 years (range: 40-98 years); being 60% women and 33.3% depedent persons. The indication for FMT was recurrent CDI in 84.6%. All FMTs were performed by colonoscopy and from related donors. With a first procedure, the FMT was effective in 11 of 13 patients (84.61%; 95% CI; 54.55-98.07). Time until resolution of symptoms was less than 48â¯h in all cases. Post-transplant follow-up was 25.66⯱â¯17.5 months. No significant short or long-term complications were recorded at follow-up. CONCLUSION: TMF is a simple, effective and safe procedure in CD infection, even in elderly patients or those with great comorbidities.

El diagnóstico de la infección por Clostridioides dfficile (ICD) ha aumentado en el embarazo y periparto. Cambios fisiológicos e inmunológicos normales durante el embarazo pueden incrementar el riesgo de ICD. Mujeres embarazadas con ICD tienen una mayor frecuencia de fracaso al tratamiento y una significativa morbilidad y mortalidad. El trasplante de microbiota fecal (TMF) se ha convertido en el tratamiento estándar de la ICD recurrente y refractaria. Sin embargo, existen escasos datos sobre sus resultados en mujeres embarazadas. Presentamos el caso de una mujer embarazada que se sometió con éxito a un TMF para el tratamiento de una ICD recurrente.
The diagnosis of Clostridioides dfficile infection (CDI) in pregnant and peripartum women has increased. In this scenario, there are higher rates of treatment failure and a significant maternal morbidity and mortality. Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) has become the gold standard for the treatment of recurrent and refractory CDI however, there are few data on its results in pregnant patients. This case showed that FMT could be a therapeutic strategy in pregnant women with recurrent CDI.

Introducción: El trasplante de microbiota fecal se basa en la infusión de material fecal de un sujeto sano a otro enfermo por afección específica relacionada con disbiosis de la microbiota intestinal. Entre las indicaciones usadas con resultados promisorios en los últimos 20 años sobresalen infección por Clostridium difficile. Objetivo: Analizar los conocimientos más avanzados y ventajas del trasplante de microbiota fecal en distintas afecciones en el humano, en especial en la infancia. Métodos: Se revisaron las publicaciones sobre esta afección en español e inglés en bases de datos de PubMed, Google Scholar, SciELO y Latindex desde el 2015 hasta el 20 de enero de 2019 Resultados: Se determinan los antecedentes históricos, criterios para indicación del trasplante de microbiota fecal, procedimiento de selección del donante, preparación y conservación de la material fecal, vías de administración, riesgos y efectos adversos, y resultados alcanzados en los últimos años a nivel mundial. Se ha descrito 90 por ciento de resolución de los síntomas en la infección recurrente por Clostridium difficile. Consideraciones finales: El trasplante de microbiota fecal es un tratamiento eficaz y seguro, de fácil realización y buena tolerancia, con repercusión económica y científica, cuya principal indicación aprobada por organizaciones internacionales de la comunidad médica es la infección recurrente o recaída de Clostriium difficile en adultos y niños. Otras indicaciones ensayadas son enfermedades inflamatorias crónicas intestinales, en especial la colitis ulcerosa; síndrome de intestino irritable, enfermedades metabólicas como la obesidad y diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y neuropsiquiátricas que se asocian con desequilibrio de la microbiota intestinal (AU)
Introduction: Fecal microbiota´s transplant (TMF, by its acronym in Spanish) is based on the infusion of fecal material from a healthy subject to another patient due to a specific condition related to intestinal microbiota dysbiosis. Among the indications used with promising results in the last 20 years are the ones used for the infection by Clostridium difficile. Objective: To analyze the most advanced knowledge and advantages of TMF in different conditions in humans, especially in childhood Method: Publications on this condition in Spanish and English in PubMed, Google Scholar, SciELO and Latindex databases from 2015 to January 30, 2019 were reviewed. Results: Historical background, criteria for indication of TMF, donor's selection procedure, preparation and preservation of fecal material, administration routes, risks and adverse effects, and results achieved in recent years worldwide are determined. 90 percent resolution of symptoms in recurrent infection by Clostridium difficile is described. Final considerations: The TMF is an effective and safe treatment, easy to perform and of good tolerance, with economic and scientific impact, whose main indication approved by international organizations of the medical community is the recurrent infection or relapse of Clostriium difficile in adults and children. Other indications tested are chronic intestinal inflammatory diseases, especially ulcerative colitis; irritable bowel syndrome, metabolic diseases as obesity and diabetes mellitus type 2, and neuropsychiatric ones that are associated with imbalance of the intestinal microbiota(AU)
