RESUMEN
Hemophilus influenzae continuá siendo en nuestro país un patógeno importante en gran variedad de procesos infecciosos que se presentan principalmente en la edad pediátrica. Los datos epidemiológicos señalan al sistema nervioso central (SNC) y a las vías respiratorias altas y bajas como los sitios más afectados. Para que se manifieste la enfermedad infecciosa por este organismo deben participar diversos factores, tanto el hospedero como del propio parásito. Dentro de estos factores, se encuentran los determinantes de patogenicidad del parásito y los de resistencia del hospedero. La interación de determinantes superficiales, subcelulares y/o productos extracelulares de este organismo patógeno y los mecanismos de resistencia del hospedero, conducen o no al establecimiento de enfermedad. El conocimiento y análisis de los determinantes de patogenicidad del parásito y de los factores de respuesta inmune del hospedero, permitirán identificar componentes útiles para el diagnóstico de la enfermedad, para señalar componentes bacterianos como candidatos importantes para la prevensión del padecimiento y para implementar estrategias adecuadas de tratamiento antimicrobiano apropiado
ABSTRACT
Haemophilus influenzae is still one of the main causes of diverse invasive diseases in children in México. Epidemiologic data indicate that these processes affect primarily the central nervous system and the respiratory tract. Several factors are involved in the expression of infectious disease by this organism, among them the pathogenic determinants of the parasite and those related with resistance in the host. Ocurrence of disease is usually the result of the interaction between these determinants. Knowledge of these pathogenic determinants of the parasite and of factors involved in the immune response of the host have allowed an understanding of the infectious process and have directed research in a least three areas 1) identification of bacterial membrane fractions related with diagnosis of the disease, 2) screening for immunogenic components in the bacterias as vaccine candidates to be used in the prevention of the disease and, 3) the planning of appropriate alternatives for specific antimicrobial therapy.
