ABSTRACT
Toxoplasmosis is a widely distributed zoonosis produced by the parasite T. gondii. In Chile the seroprevalence has been estimated between 20-37% in general population. Defined risk groups acquire or reactivate the infection by T. gondii in patients undergoing SOT and HSCT are heart transplant or heart-lung with D (+) and R (-), allogeneic HSCT with R (+), HSCT with cord cells, GVHD, history of previous clinical toxoplasmosis and use of corticosteroids for prolonged periods or in high doses. Hand washing, hygiene in food handling and weekly post-transplant surveillance since day 15 post transplant for six months, are universally recommended. All patients with SOT and HSCT, regardless of risk, should receive prophylaxis with cotrimoxazole and require no another specific prophylaxis against T. gondii (A2). It is particularly important in high-risk patients who cannot receive cotrimoxazole prophylaxis establish specific alternative against T. gondii (B3).
RESUMEN
Toxoplasmosis es una zoonosis ampliamente distribuida, producida por el parásito T. gondii. En Chile la seroprevalencia se ha estimado entre 20-37% en la población general. Se han deinido grupos de riesgo de adquirir o reactivar la infección por T. gondii en pacientes sometidos a TOS y a TPH trasplante cardíaco o de corazón-pulmón con D (+) y R (-); TPH alogénico con R (+); TPH con células de cordón; EICH activa; antecedentes de toxoplasmosis clínica previa y uso de corticoesteroides por tiempo prolongado o en altas dosis. De manera universal son importantes el lavado de manos e higiene en manipulación de alimentos y el seguimiento periódico post-trasplante con RPC desde los 15 días, una vez por semana, durante seis meses. Todos los pacientes con TOS y TPH, independiente de su riesgo, deben recibir proilaxis universal con cotrimoxazol y no requieren otra proilaxis especíica contra T. gondii ( A2 ). Es particularmente importante que en los pacientes de alto riesgo que no puedan recibir cotrimoxazol, se establezca proilaxis alternativa especíica contra T. gondii (B3).
