ABSTRACT
Systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE) is defined on the basis of its various clinical manifestations, and by the presence of circulating antibodies directed against one or more components of cell nuclei. Over 80 percent of all cases occur during the fertile life of the woman, where incidence may reach one in 1000 women. Pregnancy in patients with active SLE, especially those which show nephritis or hypertension , associates with substantial risk of exacerbation of the disease, and poor prognosis for the fetus as well as the mother. A case is presented of a patient treated at our maternity clinic who had an SLE syndrome which was reactivated during pregnancy. Comments are given on management of the case, perinatal results, and future therapeutic implications.
RESUMEN
El lupus eritematoso sistémico se define en base a sus muy variadas manifestaciones clínicas, y por la presencia de anticuerpos en sangre directamente dirigidos contra uno o más componentes del núcleo celular. Sobre el 80 por ciento de todos los casos ocurren durante la vida fértil de la mujer principalmente, en donde se pueden alcanzar tasas de 1 en 1000 mujeres. El embarazo en pacientes con LES activo, especialmente en aquellos que tiene nefritis o hipertensión, se asocian con un riesgo sustancial de exacerbación de la enfermedad y un pobre pronóstico del feto y también de la madre. Se presenta el caso de una paciente atendida en la maternidad del Hospital Clínico Regional de Antofagasta con un cuadro de LES, que se reactiva durante el embarazo. Se comenta el manejo, el resultado perinatal, y las implicancias terapéuticas futuras.
