RESUMO

Objective. To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics and mortality of patients with cystic echinococcosis (CE) in northern Spain. Patients and methods. A retrospective study of the medical records of patients diagnosed with CE and hospitalized from 1997 to 2011 in a University Hospital. Results. A total of 76 patients (44 men) were diagnosed with CE. The mean age was 57.8 years (SD: 19.1 years; range: 14.9–92.7). The yearly average incidence was 1.08 cases/100,000 inhabitants. The highest incidence was registered in patients aged 70–79 years (22.7% of all cases). Liver was the main organ involved (92.1%), followed by lung (6.6%) and peritoneum (1.3%). Fifty-five patients (72%) received treatment: 2 (3.6%) medical treatment with albendazole, 27 (49%) surgical treatment, 3 (5.4%) medical treatment combined with cyst drainage, and 23 (42%) combined medical and surgical treatment. Eight patients had a recurrence. Twenty-four (31.2%) patients died. No patient's death was attributed directly to hydatidosis, though mortality was significantly higher in the untreated vs. the treated patient group (57% vs. 22%, p=0.003). Conclusions. Hydatidosis treatment and diagnostic approaches remain heterogeneous. The liver continues being the main organ affected. Mortality was higher in patients who did not receive treatment. However, this result might have been influenced by other factors, mainly age (AU)


Objetivos. Analizar las características epidemiológicas y clínicas y la mortalidad de los pacientes con equinococosis quística (EQ) en el norte de España. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de las historias clínicas de los pacientes diagnosticados de EQ, ingresados entre los años 1997 y 2011 en un Hospital Universitario. Resultados. Se diagnosticaron de hidatidosis un total de 76 pacientes (44 varones). La media de edad fue de 57,8 años (DE: 19,1 años; rango: 14,9–92,7). El promedio de incidencia anual fue de 1,08 casos/100.000 habitantes. La incidencia más alta se registró entre los pacientes con una edad comprendida entre 70 y 79 años (22,7% de los casos). El hígado fue el principal órgano afectado (92,1%), seguido del pulmón (6,6%) y el peritoneo (1,3%). Recibieron tratamiento 55 pacientes (72%): 2 (3,6%) tratamiento médico (albendazol), 27 (49%) tratamiento quirúrgico, 3 (5,4%) tratamiento médico combinado con drenaje del quiste y 23 (42%) tratamiento médico y quirúrgico combinados. Presentaron recurrencias 8 pacientes, y fallecieron 24 (31,2%). Ninguno de los pacientes falleció por una causa atribuible a hidatidosis, aunque la mortalidad fue significativamente mayor en el grupo de los no tratados respecto al de los tratados (57% vs. 22%, p=0,003). Conclusiones. La aproximación diagnóstica y terapéutica de la hidatidosis continúa siendo heterogénea. El hígado sigue siendo el principal órgano afectado. La mortalidad fue mayor en los pacientes que no recibieron tratamiento, si bien este resultado puede estar influido por otros factores, principalmente la edad (AU)

RESUMO

Antecedentes. La troponina-I (TnI) es un marcador de gravedad en pacientes no seleccionados con tromboembolismo pulmonar (TEP). Hay pocos trabajos que valoren su utilidad en pacientes hemodinámicamente estables. Objetivos. valorar la correlación entre los niveles de TnI y la existencia de signos ecocardiográficos y radiológicos de disfunción de ventrículo derecho (VD) o de hipertensión pulmonar (HTP), así como con la intensidad de la obstrucción vascular. Métodos. Se seleccionaron pacientes de un estudio prospectivo previo que incluyó 103 sujetos consecutivos con TEP y presión arterial sistémica ≥ 90 mmHg, realizándose en todos los casos angiografía por tomografía computarizada (TC) y ecocardiograma. Se realiza un estudio post hoc, en el que se analizan los 68 casos en que, según el criterio clínico del facultativo de urgencias, se realizó medición de TnI. Resultados. Mediana de edad: 74 años. El 50% eran varones. Los pacientes con elevación de la TnI presentaron un perfil clínico diferenciado, sugestivo de TEP más grave. Existió una correlación significativa entre los niveles de TnI y la presión arterial pulmonar sistólica (r=0,46, p<0,001), el diámetro de la arteria pulmonar (r=0,48, p<0,001) y del VD (r=0,47, p=0,001) medidos por TC, y el índice de obstrucción vascular pulmonar (r=0,39, p=0,001). Conclusión. En pacientes con TEP hemodinámicamente estable, los niveles más elevados de TnI predicen la existencia de un TEP más grave, y podrían usarse en la práctica clínica para seleccionar a aquellos pacientes que precisan un seguimiento clínico, o mediante pruebas complementarias, más estrecho(AU)


Background. Troponin-I (TnI) is a marker of severe pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in unselected patients. There are few articles that assess its usefulness in hemodynamically-stable patients. Objectives. To assess the correlation between TnI levels and both echocardiographic/radiologic signs of right ventricle (RV) dysfunction or pulmonary hypertension (PH), and the severity of the pulmonary vascular obstruction. Methods. We selected patients from a prospective cohort of 103 consecutive patients with PTE and systolic arterial pressure ≥ 90 mmHg. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) and echocardiography were performed in all patients. We performed a post hoc study, analyzing the 68 cases in which TnI was measured, at the discretion of the emergency room physician. Results. Patients included had a median age of 74 years and 50% were male. The patients with elevated TnI had a differentiated clinical profile, suggestive of more severe PTE. There was a significant correlation between TnI levels and systolic pulmonary artery pressure (r=0.46, P<.001), the CTPA-measured pulmonary artery diameter (r=0.48, P<.001), the CTPA-measured RV diameter (r=0.47, P=.001) and the pulmonary vascular obstruction index (r=0.39, P=.001). Conclusion. The higher levels of TnI in patients with hemodynamically stable PTE predicts the existence of more severe PE in hemodynamically-stable patients. This biomarker could be used in the clinical practice to select those patients who might require more intensive monitoring or additional complementary studies(AU)

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To study whether two functional single nucleotide polymorphisms of the CC chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) gene could affect susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) in a human immunodeficiency virus negative genetically homogeneous population, containing newly diagnosed patients with active disease. DESIGN: Seventy-six patients with active pulmonary TB (PTB) and 157 healthy control subjects from Cantabria, northern Spain, were genotyped for the CCL5 -403G/A and -28C/G polymorphisms. RESULTS: The frequency of the CCL5-403G/A and -28C/G promoter polymorphisms were significantly different between patients with active TB and control subjects. Three of the four possible haplotypes were also significantly different. The G/G-C/C diplotype was much more frequent in the healthy control group and the G/G-G/G and A/A-C/C diplotypes were more frequent in patients with PTB. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that CCL5 may play a role in conferring susceptibility to active PTB. Thus, the -403G and -28C alleles, either separately or combined in the G-C haplotype and the GG/CC diplotype, may be related to protection against PTB. By contrast, the -403A and -28G alleles, the G-G or A-C haplotypes and the G/G-G/G and A/A-C/C diplotypes may confer susceptibility to PTB.
