RESUMO

This is a case report of foreign body ingestion in a suicide attempt resulting in gastric perforation and phlegmon formation during a subsequent 6 month period that eventually required surgical intervention. The patient had a prolonged course because she did not report a history of foreign body ingestion and the initial evaluating physicians had no suspicion about possible foreign body ingestion and may have missed important findings on physical examination. Gastric perforation by a foreign object may have a slow course rather than presenting acute abdomen. The realization of a proper physical examination in the emergency department is key to an accurate diagnosis.

RESUMO

La rabia es una enfermedad viral zoonótica, producida por un virus del genero Lyssavirus de la Familia Rhabdoviridae, cuya principal fuente de transmisión es la mordedura de animales a humanos. Es una enfermedad fatal y se han descrito casos por ciclos urbanos y rurales. El caso que reportamos es el de una joven de 22 años, quien ingresa por un cuadro de dolor de características neuropáticas en el miembro superior derecho, con antecedente de mordedura por un gato de varios meses atrás, hospitalizada por el servicio de Neurología por sospecha de lesión de plejo braquial, con resonancia de columna cervical y líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR) normales, quien posteriormente presenta deterioro clínico tórpido a un proceso encefalopático que en pocos días la llevó a la muerte. Se confirmó que la paciente presentó una encefalitis por un virus de rabia. Expondremos cómo fue el manejo de la paciente y todos los nexos epidemiológicos.


Rabies is a zoonotic viral disease, caused by a virus of the genus Lyssavirus of the Rhabdoviridae family. Its main source is transmission from animals to humans bite. The disease is fatal and has been reported to occur in rural and urban cycles. This reported case is a 22-year old, who was admitted with symptoms of neuropathic pain in the right arm, with a history of being bitten by a cat a few months earlier. The patient was hospitalized in the Neurology Department for suspected brachial plexopathy, and normal spinal MRI and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were found. The patient subsequently presented encephalopathic decline that resulted in death within a few days. It was confirmed that the patient had encephalitis due to the rabies virus. We present the management of the patient and all epidemiological links.

RESUMO

Introducción: La exposición a sustancias tóxicas es frecuente en pediatría. En Colombia, entre 2006 y 2008 se presentaron 40061 casos de intoxicaciones, de las cuales 19 723 correspondieron a menores de 14 años de edad. En 2009 se presentaron187 muertes, lo que corresponde a una tasa de mortalidad de 0,6 casos por cada 100 000 habitantes y una tasa de letalidad de 9,48 por cada 100 000 casos de pacientes intoxicados.Objetivo: Evaluar en la literatura el papel de las medidas generales como tratamiento en el paciente pediátrico intoxicado y determinar cuáles han demostrado ser seguras y eficaces.Método: Selección de artículos (búsqueda en inglés y español en Medline, PubMed, Academic Search Complete, Science Direct y SciELO) y extracción de datos, según la aplicación de las medidas generales en el manejo de los pacientes intoxicados en el servicio de urgencias.Conclusiones: Es importante conocer el mecanismo de acción de las técnicaspara disminuir la absorción o aumentar la eliminación de sustancias tóxicas y las indicaciones y contraindicaciones para su aplicación, y brindar un adecuado y efectivo tratamiento en los servicios de urgencias...


Introduction: Exposure to toxic substances is common in pediatrics. In Colombia in between the 2006 and 2008 there were 40 061 cases ofpoisoning, of which 19 723 were in younger than 14 years old. In 2009 there were a total of 187 deaths which corresponds to a mortality rate of0.6 cases per 100000 inhabitants, and a fatality rate of 9.48 per 100 000 cases of poisoned patients. Objective: Evaluate in the literature the role ofgeneral measures for treatment in pediatric patients intoxicated and determine which are the measures that have proven safe and effective. Method: Selection articles (in English and Spanish, from Medline, PubMed, Academic Search Complete, Science Direct, and SciELO) and data extraction (focused on the implementation of general measures in the management of poisoned patients in the emergency department). Conclusions: Knowledge of the mechanism of action of different techniques to decrease absorptionor enhance elimination of toxic substances, the indications and contraindications for use are important to provide adequate and effectivetreatment in the emergency department...
