RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis is one of the most common causes of hospitalisation in patients with HIV. Despite this, hospital outcomes of patients with this co-infection have rarely been described since antiretroviral therapy became widely available. METHODS: Prospective cohort study of HIV-infected adult patients hospitalised with TB in six referral hospitals in Medellin, Colombia, from August 2014 to July 2015. RESULTS: Among 128 HIV-infected patients hospitalised with tuberculosis, the mean age was 38.4 years; 79.7% were men. HIV was diagnosed on admission in 28.9% of patients. The median CD4 + T-cell count was 125 (±158 SD) cells/µL. Only 47.3% of patients with a known diagnosis of HIV upon admission were on antiretroviral therapy, and only 11.1% had a tuberculin skin test in the previous year. Drug toxicity due to tuberculosis medications occurred in 11.7% of patients. Mean length of stay was 23.2 days, and 10.7% of patients were readmitted. Mortality was 5.5%. CONCLUSIONS: Hospital mortality attributable to tuberculosis in patients with HIV is low in reference hospitals in Colombia. Cases of tuberculosis in HIV-infected patients occur mainly in patients with advanced HIV, or not on antiretroviral therapy, despite a known diagnosis of HIV. Only one of every 10 patients in this cohort had active screening for latent tuberculosis, possibly reflecting missed treatment opportunities.


CONTEXTE: La tuberculose (TB) est l'une des causes les plus courantes d'hospitalisation chez les patients VIH positifs. Malgré cela, les résultats hospitaliers des patients atteints de cette coinfection ont rarement été décrits depuis que le traitement antirétroviral est devenu largement disponible. MÉTHODES: Etude de cohorte prospective de patients adultes infectés par le VIH hospitalisés pour TB dans six hôpitaux de référence à Medellin, en Colombie, d'août 2014 à juillet 2015. RÉSULTATS: Sur 128 patients infectés par le VIH hospitalisés pour TB, l'âge moyen était de 38,4 ans; 79,7% étaient des hommes. Le VIH a été diagnostiqué à l'admission chez 28,9% des patients. Le nombre médian de lymphocytes T CD4+ était de 125 (±158 SD) cellules/µL. Seuls 47,3% des patients dont le diagnostic de VIH était connu lors de leur admission étaient sous traitement antirétroviral et 11,1% seulement avaient subi un test cutané à la tuberculine l'année précédente. Une toxicité médicamenteuse due aux médicaments antituberculeux est survenue chez 11,7% des patients. La durée moyenne de séjour était de 23,2 jours et 10,7% des patients ont été réadmis. La mortalité était de 5,5%. CONCLUSIONS: La mortalité hospitalière attribuable à la TB chez les patients VIH positifs est faible dans les hôpitaux de référence en Colombie. Les cas de TB chez les patients infectés par le VIH surviennent principalement chez les patients à un stade avancé du VIH, ou qui ne sont pas sous traitement antirétroviral, malgré un diagnostic connu de VIH. Seul un patient sur 10 de cette cohorte a subi un dépistage actif de la TB latente, ce qui reflète peut-être des opportunités de traitement manquées.

RESUMO

Introduction: The Neotropical Otter, Lontra longicaudis, is a semi-aquatic mammal that ranges from Mexico to Argentina inhabiting near-pristine watercourses, but also human-dominated aquatic and riparian landscapes. Objective: We assessed the distribution and habitat use frequency of L. longicaudis in La Miel I hydroelectric power dam and its influence area in the Department of Caldas, Colombia. Methods: We carried out diurnal surveys across standardized transects between 2014 and 2018 looking for records (sightings, faeces, tracks, and dens) that indicate the presence of the species. Each yearly survey was done during 12 consecutive days over three seasonal sampling periods assessing the upstream, reservoir, and downstream waterscape areas. Results: We sampled a total of 875 km in a five-year period across the three main waterscape areas (upstream -103 km, reservoir -582 km, and downstream -190 km) registering a total of 1 496 records. Faeces were the most common record (~ 95 %) across the whole study area followed by sightings, dens (1.7 % each), and tracks (1.3 %). Spatial distribution analyses suggest that L. longicaudis prefers dwelling upstream watercourses (hot spots areas; Gi Z-score = 4.46, p < 0.001) and in a lesser extent, areas around the water reservoir (cold spot areas; Gi Z-score = -2.69, p = 0.007). Signs of otters were also recorded at downstream area, but these records were non-significant within the analysis (Gi Z-score = -0.11, p = 0.48), suggesting L. longicaudis uses this area opportunistically. Cluster and outlier analysis showed that even though L. longicaudis was commonly found upstream and in the reservoir area, only some specific sectors (Moro, La Miel and Tasajos rivers) had high (LMI Z-score = 5.63, p = 0.001) and low (LMI Z-score = 2.12, p = 0.001) clusters. Conclusions: The upstream waterscape area is key for the survival of L. longicaudis in this regulated system, likely providing enough shelter and food for the species to carry out living activities and have resident populations. In contrast, downstream areas require specific attention to understand in a better way the effects of caused by the dam on the species dynamics, also defining management strategies that avoid population fragmentation and movement reduction.


Introducción : La nutria neotropical Lontra longicaudis, es un mamífero semiacuático que se distribuye desde México hasta Argentina; habita en paisajes acuáticos y ribereños prístinos, pero también hábitats dominados por el hombre. Objetivo : Se evaluó la distribución e intensidad de uso del hábitat de L. longicaudis en la hidroeléctrica La Miel I y su área de influencia en el Departamento de Caldas, Colombia. Métodos: Se realizaron transectos diurnos estandarizados entre 2014 y 2018 en busca de registros (avistamientos, heces, huellas y madrigueras) que indicaban la presencia de la especie. Cada muestreo anual se realizó durante 12 días consecutivos en tres períodos de muestreo estacional (36 días), evaluando las áreas aguas arriba, el embalse y aguas abajo de la presa. Resultados : Se muestreó un total de 875 km a través de las tres áreas principales con un total de 1 496 rastros. Las heces fueron el registro más común (~ 95 %) en toda el área de estudio, seguido de avistamientos, madrigueras (1.7 % cada una), y huellas (1.3 %). Los análisis de distribución espacial sugieren que L. longicaudis prefiere los afluentes aguas arriba (áreas de puntos calientes; Gi Z-score = 4.46, p < 0.001) y, en menor medida, las zonas alrededor del embalse (áreas de puntos fríos; Gi Z-score = -2.69, p = 0.007). El área aguas abajo también mostró presencia de nutrias; sin embargo, esos registros no fueron significativos dentro del análisis (Gi Z-score = -0.11, p = 0.48), sugiriendo que L. longicaudis usa esta área esporádicamente. El análisis de conglomerados y datos atípicos mostró que, aunque L. longicaudis se encuentra comúnmente aguas arriba y en el área del embalse, solo algunos sectores específicos (ríos Moro, La Miel y Tasajos) tienen valores altos (LMI Z-score = 5.63, p= 0.001) y bajos (LMI Z-score = 2.12, p = 0.001) de conglomerados. Conclusiones : El paisaje y las características hidrológicas aguas arriba son claves para la supervivencia de la nutria neotropical en este sistema regulado, probablemente aportando suficiente refugio y alimento para que la especie lleve a cabo sus actividades vitales, permitiéndole tener poblaciones residentes. Se debe enfocar la atención en la zona aguas abajo para comprender el efecto de la presa en la dinámica de la especie, definiendo estrategias de manejo que eviten la fragmentación de la población y la reducción de los movimientos.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has modified the natural history of HIV-infection: the incidence of opportunistic infections (OIs) has decreased and mortality associated to HIV has improved dramatically. The reasons for hospitalization have changed; OIs are no longer the most common reason for admission. This study describes the patient population, admission diagnosis and hospital course of HIV patients in Colombia in the ART era. METHODS: Patients admitted with HIV/AIDS at six hospitals in Medellin, Colombia between August 1, 2014 and July 31, 2015 were included. Demographic, laboratory, and clinical data were prospectively collected. RESULTS: 551 HIV-infected patients were admitted: 76.0% were male, the median age was 37 (30-49). A new diagnosis of HIV was made in 22.0% of patients during the index admission. 56.0% of patients of the entire cohort had been diagnosed with HIV for more than 1 year and 68.9% were diagnosed in an advanced stage of the disease. More than 50.0% of patients had CD4 counts less than 200 CD4 cells/µL and viral loads greater than 100,000 copies. The main reasons for hospital admissions were OIs, tuberculosis, esophageal candidiasis and Toxoplasma encephalitis. The median hospital stay was 14 days (IQR 8-23). Admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) was required in 10.3% of patients and 14.3% were readmitted to the hospital; mortality was 5.4%. CONCLUSIONS: Similar to other countries in the developing world, in Colombia, the leading cause of hospitalization among HIV-infected patients remain opportunistic infections. However, in-hospital mortality was low, similar to those described for high-income countries. Strategies to monitor and optimize the adherence and retention in HIV programs are fundamental to maximize the benefit of ART.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Tuberculosis is a relevant global public health problem. Although reports of the World Health Organization show decrease in overall mortality rates, Colombia and Medellin show no significant decline. OBJECTIVE: To describe the sociodemographic, clinical, diagnosis, and treatment characteristics of patients who died due to tuberculosis in Medellin, Colombia, during 2012. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A descriptive study of tuberculosis deaths reported in the city. RESULTS: 93 deaths were identified, of which 32 were confirmed as directly caused by tuberculosis (34.4%); in 23 deaths (24.7%) tuberculosis was an associated cause. Co-morbidities were found in 34 patients (61.7%), HIV being the most common with 18 cases important(32.7%). Social risk factors such as being homeless, drug addiction or having no fixed address were found in 32 cases (58.1%); and there were deficiencies in the healthcare system in 26 cases (47.2%). No meaningful delay in the onset of anti-tuberculosis treatment was found after the microbiological diagnosis; however, 64% of patients did not adhere to treatment. CONCLUSION: Mortality caused by tuberculosis in Medellin is a relevant problem associated with delays in diagnosis of the disease and lack of adherence to treatment.

RESUMO

Introducción. La tuberculosis es uno de los principales problemas globales de salud pública. Aunque los reportes de la Organización Mundial de la Salud muestran un descenso en las tasas de mortalidad global, Colombia y la ciudad de Medellín no muestran reducciones significativas. Objetivo. Describir las características sociodemográficas, clínicas y de diagnóstico y tratamiento, de los pacientes fallecidos por tuberculosis en Medellín en el 2012. Materiales y métodos. Es un estudio descriptivo de las muertes por tuberculosis reportadas en Medellín durante el 2012. Resultados. El número de muertes fue de 93, de las cuales, 32 (34,4 %) se confirmaron como muertes directas por tuberculosis y 23 (24,7 %) como asociadas a esta enfermedad. En 34 (61,7 %) de los pacientes hubo alguna enfermedad concomitante, siendo el sida la más importante (18, 32,7 %). Se detectaron factores de riesgo social como ser habitante de la calle, farmacodependencia o carencia de domicilio fijo, en 32 casos (58,1 %), y aspectos que afectaron el proceso de atención de los servicios de salud, en 26 (47,2 %). Hubo un retraso de 40 días (rango intercuartílico: 19 a 84) entre el inicio de los síntomas y el diagnóstico. No se encontró retraso significativo en el inicio del tratamiento antituberculoso después del diagnóstico microbiológico; sin embargo, el porcentaje de incumplimiento del tratamiento fue de 64%. Conclusión. La mortalidad por tuberculosis en Medellín es un problema relevante que está relacionado con retrasos en el diagnóstico de los casos y con el cumplimiento del tratamiento.

RESUMO

Antecedentes. Diferentes especies de Candida causan candidiasis diseminada, y esta afecta especialmente a pacientes inmunodeprimidos y a los que se encuentran hospitalizados en unidades de cuidados intensivos (UCI). Objetivo. Determinar la frecuencia y sensibilidad al fluconazol y al voriconazol de aislamientos de Candida spp. provenientes de pacientes en UCI y remitidos a la Corporación para Investigaciones Biológicas para estudios de sensibilidad entre el 2001–2007. Métodos. Se utilizó la técnica de difusión en agar siguiendo las especificaciones del Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (M44A). La prueba de Chi2 y la prueba de Kruskal Wallis se utilizaron para comparar los cambios en la frecuencia de aislamientos de Candida spp. y la sensibilidad a los azoles según el año de aislamiento. Resultados. Del total de 337 aislamientos, 147 (43,6%) correspondieron a Candida albicans, seguidos por Candida tropicalis con 79 aislamientos (23,4%), Candida parapsilosis con 47 aislamientos (13,9%), Candida glabrata con 32 aislamientos (9,5%), Candida guilliermondii con 12 aislamientos (3,6%) y Candida krusei con 11 aislamientos (3,3%). El 2,7% restante correspondió a otras especies (Candida famata, Candida lusitaniae, Candida lipolytica, Candida pelliculosa y Candida spp.). De estos aislamientos, el 78,3% fue sensible, el 11,9% sensible dependiente de la dosis y el 9,8% resistente al fluconazol. Para el voriconazol, el 94% sensible, el 2,4% sensible dependiente de la dosis y el 3,6% fue resistente. Conclusiones. Estos datos señalan un cambio en la frecuencia de especies aisladas así como la presencia de nuevos patrones de sensibilidad, lo que hace necesario la tipificación y la realización de pruebas de sensibilidad a los antifúngicos para conocer las características de los aislamientos circulantes y, de esta manera, predecir un tratamiento exitoso(AU)


Background. Disseminated candidiasis is caused by different Candida species and mainly affects immunocompromised patients and those hospitalized in intensive care units (ICU). Objective. Our aim was to determine the frequency and susceptibility of Candida spp. isolates to fluconazole and voriconazole, obtained from patients hospitalized in ICU in the city of Medellin during the years 2001–2007. Methods. The agar diffusion technique based on the protocols recommended by the CLSI from the United States (M44A) was used. The Chi2 test and the Kruskal Wallis statistical methods were used to compare changes in the frequency of Candida spp. isolates and their susceptibility to azoles by year of isolation. Results. A total of 337 isolates were analyzed, 147 (43.6%) of which corresponded to Candida albicans, followed by 79 (23.4%) Candida tropicalis, 47 (13.9%) Candida parapsilosis, 32 (9.5%) Candida glabrata, 12 (3.6%) Candida guilliermondii and 11 (3.3%) Candida krusei. The remaining isolates (2.7%) were distributed among other species (Candida famata, Candida lusitaniae, Candida lipolytica, Candida pelliculosa and Candida spp.) Most of these isolates (78.3%) were susceptible; 11.9% were dose-dependent susceptible (DDS) and 9.8% resistant to fluconazole. For voriconazole, we observed that 94.1% of the isolates were susceptible, 2.4% DDS and 3.6% resistant. Conclusions. These data indicate a notable change in the species frequency, as well as a new susceptibility patterns that requires the precise identification of the causative organism and susceptibility testing in order to determine the characteristics of the isolates circulating in ICUs and then to treat them appropriately(AU)

RESUMO

La Corporación Helena y Juan es una institución que funciona en Enviado y alberga niños huérfanos o desprotegidos. El propósito de este trabajo fue implementar un programa de promoción de la salud y prevención de las enfermedades bucales par crear conciencia sobre la importancia de realizar practicas adecuadas de higiene oral que prevengan las principales enfermedades de la cavidad oral en niños. En el programa participaron 75 niños distribuidos en grupos etéreos. Al inicio y al final del programa se registró el estado de salud oral aplicando los índices de placa y gingival de Silless y Lõe y por medio de una encuesta se evaluó el nivel de conocimiento sobre salud oral según los rangos de edad. Durante dos años y medio se hicieron actividades lúdicas y educativas, las cuales incluyeron videos, conferencias y concursos, para aprender reconocer las principales patologías de la cavidad oral y la forma de prevenirlas con enseñanza y supervisión de técnicas de cepillado y uso de la seda dental. También se hicieron entrevistas a las directivas de la institución y a los niños participantes para conocer su complacencia con el programa. Al comparar los datos obtenidos durante el primer y segundo examen se pudo observar que los resultados fueron estadísticamente significativos para todas las variables estudiadas (p< 0.000), encontrándose una reducción del 29 por ciento y 71 por ciento en los índices de placa y gingival respectivamente y un incremento de un 56.2 por ciento en los conocimientos sobre salud oral. Las directivas y los niños participantes expresaron una alta complacencia con la ejecución y los resultados del programa. Con la ejecución de este programa, los niños de la corporación Helena y Juan mejoraron sus prácticas de higiene oral y sus conocimientos sobre salud oral...
