RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Presentar los hallazgos ultrasonográficos abdominales y torácicos en pacientes con Dengue en comparación con la literatura. Material y

métodos:

Se realizaron exámenes ecográficos a 29 pacientes, 18 de sexo femenino y 11 de sexo masculino -con una media de edad de 35.6 años-, todos ellos con confirmación serológica de Dengue, internados en el Hospital Rawson de Córdoba durante el brote epidémico de enero-junio de 2009. Los hallazgos fueron comparados con los descriptos en la literatura.

Resultados:

Los resultados ecográficos más relevantes fueron engrosamiento de la pared vesicular (n=7) (24%); líquido libre abdominal/pelviano (n= 9) (31%); hepatomegalia (n=5) (17%); esplenomegalia (n=4) (14%); líquido pericolecístico y derrame pleural (n=2) (7%). En el 62% de los pacientes (n=18) el estudio ecográfico resultó normal.

Conclusión:

La ecografía es una herramienta de utilidad para confirmar casos sospechosos de Dengue y para detectar precozmente la gravedad y progresión de la enfermedad.
ABSTRACT

Objective:

To review abdominal and thoracic ultrasound findings in patients with serologically proven dengue fever and to compare them with the literature. Material and

methods:

Twenty-nine patients, 18 females and 11 males, mean age 35.6 years, with serologically proven dengue fever, were admitted to Hospital Rawson of Cordoba and underwent abdominal ultrasound during the epidemic outbreak between January and June 2009. Their ultrasound findings were compared with data from the literature.

Results:

The most relevant ultrasound findings were diffuse gallbladder wall thickening in 7 cases (24%), abdominal/ pelvic free fluid in 9 (31%), hepatomegaly in 5 (17%), splenomegaly in 4 (14%), and perivesicular fluid and pleural effusion in 2 (7%). Eighteen patients (62%) had normal abdominal ultrasound.

Conclusion:

Abdominal sonography is a useful diagnostic tool to detect complications in patients with suspected or serologically confirmed diagnostic of Dengue fever.
