RESUMO

Reactions caused by photosensitivity, also called photodermatosis, are cutaneous reactions induced or exacerbated by exposure to electromagnetic radiation, including UV radiation, visible light, and infrared radiation. We present the case of a 41-year-old man with no personal history of allergy and who is referred to our Drug Allergy Unit for study. We performed a conventional patch test (non-irradiated) and photopatch (with the application of UVA) with reading at 48 and 96 hours and 24 hours after irradiation with an intensity of 5J/cm2. Drug-induced photosensitivity can manifest itself in two clinically indistinguishable forms: photoallergy and phototoxicity. Photoallergic reactions are due to an immunological response of type IV hypersensitivity (a cell-mediated mechanism). We present a case of photoallergy due to sensitization to naproxen, confirmed by photopatch tests.

RESUMO

Introducción: el teratoma quístico maduro del ovario es un tumor germinal benigno, siendo el tumor de ovario más frecuente. Su rotura provoca el vertido del material sebáceo a la cavidad abdominal, irritando el peritoneo y provocando una inflamación aguda o crónica. La rotura brusca provoca una peritonitis aguda (peritonitis química) y puede conducir a la hemorragia o shock. El abordaje por laparoscopia se asocia a un elevado riesgo (66%) de liberar contenido del quiste a la cavidad peritoneal, pero puede ser extraído adecuadamente mediante lavado con suero, haciendo que la tasa de peritonitis química sea muy poco frecuente en la actualidad (0,2%). Caso clínico: mujer de 47 años con peritonitis química tras extirpación laparoscópica de teratoma ovárico maduro. Discusión: destacamos dos aspectos interesantes de nuestro caso. Primero, lo extremadamente infrecuente de la peritonitis química tras la extirpación quirúrgica de un teratoma quístico maduro. En segundo lugar, que pese a que la tomografía computarizada abdominopélvica tiene una mayor sensibilidad que la ecografía para el diagnóstico de las complicaciones del teratoma quístico maduro, se realizaron dos tomografías computarizadas que no fueron diagnósticas y, en cambio, en la ecografía sí se encontraron hallazgos diagnósticos (AU)


Introducción: Mature Cystic Teratoma (MCT) is a benign neoplasm of the ovary constituting the most common of all the ovarian tumours. The rupture of the MCT can cause the spillage of sebaceous material into the abdominal cavity, leading to an acute or chronic inflammatory reaction. Acute peritonitis (chemical peritonitis) caused by sudden tumor rupture may result in shock or hemorrhage. Taking into account that the spillage rates during laparotomy are high (66%), it is important to copiously irrigate the abdominal cavity with Ringer’s lactate to effectively wash out cyst contents. Consequenty, the incidence of chemical peritonitis following laparoscopic removal of dermoid cysts have been reduced to 0.2%. Case report: 47 year-old woman with chemical peritonitis after laparoscopic extirpation of mature ovarian teratoma. Discussion: We highlight two notable issues of our case report. First, chemical peritonitis after laparoscopic extirpation of mature ovarian teratoma is an infrequent complication nowadays. Second, despite abdomino-pelvic CT scan has a higher sensitivity than the abdominal ultrasound for the diagnosis of the complications of MCT, two CT scans were performed and a diagnosis could not be make. On the other hand, the abdominal ultrasound was a key element for achieving the diagnosis (AU)

RESUMO

La epilepsia es una enfermedad crónica frecuente en niños, poco conocida y habitualmente estigmatizada. En los países en desarrollo es más frecuente en las áreas rurales y generalmente es de causa secundaria. Objetivos: Determinar el nivel de conocimiento y creencias sobre epilepsia en los padres de familia usuarios habituales del Centro de Salud de Peralvillo û Huaral. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo y transversal. Se aplicó un instrumento anónimo validado para determinar el nivel de conocimiento y creencias en una población de padres de familia del Asentamiento Humano Peralvillo Huaral, Lima. Resultados: Se realizaron 104 entrevistas. El conocimiento nulo se encontró en el 44,2%. El 31% tuvo por lo menos una creencia siendo la más frecuente que el paciente en estado de crisis puede volverse agresivo. Se encontró una relación directa entre grado de instrucción y el nivel de conocimiento, no se observó asociación entre las demás variables sociodemográficas y el conocimiento. Conclusiones: En la población investigada se encontró bajo nivel de conocimiento sobre epilepsia en niños. El grado de instrucción, a diferencia de las demás características sociodemográficas, mostró una relación directa con nivel de conocimiento. Fueron frecuentes las creencias.


Epilepsy is a chronic common disease in children, little known and commonly stigmatized. In developing countries is more common in rural areas and generally by secondary cause. Objectives: To determine the level of knowledge and beliefs about epilepsy in parents of the Health Micro-Net of Peralvillo-Huaral. Materials and Methods: Descriptive transversal study. A validated anonymous quiz was applied to a group of parents of Peralvillo-Huaral health center, to determinate knowledge and beliefs level about epilepsy in children. Results: One hundred and four interviews were performed, 44.2% (46) had no knowledge. 31% had at least one belief; the most frequent was to consider that an epileptic patient can be aggressive during a seizure. We found a direct relationship between level of education and the level of knowledge, there was no association between socio-demographic and other knowledge. Conclusions: A low knowledge level about epilepsy in children was found in the studied population. Level of education, unlike the other social demographic characters, showed a direct relationship with knowledge level. Beliefs were frequent.
