ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Mycoplasma genitalium is an emerging cause of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and has been implicated in non-gonococcal urethritis in men and cervicitis in woman. The aim of this study is determinate the incidence and pathogenicity of M. genitalium within the diagnosis of STIs detected from clinical samples in a third level hospital. METHODS: A total of 8,473 samples from endocervix, urethra, vagina, rectum and others were processed applying Allpex STI Essential Assay. More than 190 records were reviewed to determinate M. genitalium pathogenicity. RESULTS: M. genitalium was detected in a rate 2.8%. Co-infections were detected in 20% of the patients. CONCLUSIONS: M. genitalium is considered a STI emerging pathogen thanks to the renewal of multiplex-PCR tests although with a low incidence in our approach. Emerging from our experience and the institutional recommendations both detection of acid nucleic techniques (NAATs) and gonococcal culture might be implemented accurately and coexist to adequate prescriptions.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study the epidemiological, clinical, radiological, and microbiological characteristics as well as clinical course and response to treatment of patients with lung disease due to Mycobacterium kansasii. METHODS: All cases of lung disease caused by M. kansasii diagnosed between 1993 and 1998 in Santa Marina Hospital in Bilbao (Spain) were reviewed. RESULTS: The nurse identified 39 cases of lung disease caused by M. kansasii. The incidence in our practice is growing. Most patients were men (97.4%). Mean patient age was 55.9 years. Relevant features of patients' case histories were lung tuberculosis (38.4%), chronic airflow limitation (28.2%) and smoking (87%). Most patients lived in urban settings (94.8%). The most frequent symptoms were cough (87%) and general malaise (72%). Hemoptysis occurred in 31%. Chest images showed mainly a localized alveolar pattern (69%). Cavitation was present in 76.9%. Bacilli were observed in 76.9%. Antibiograms (for 30 cases) showed resistance to the following drugs: rifampicin 3.3%, isoniazid (1 microgram/ml 10%, isoniazid (0.2 microgram/ml 100%, ethambutol 6.6%, streptomycin 90%, pyrazinamide 90%. Eight patients (22% of 36) died; all had severe associated disease. In 33% of the 21 patients with cavitation, closure was not achieved according to follow-up images. Follow-up microbiological tests revealed one case (2.7% of 36 patients) of treatment failure and four cases (15.3% of 26 patients) of relapse. CONCLUSIONS: The number of patients with lung disease due to M. kansasii has increased significantly in recent years in our hospital. The mortality rate in these patients was high, but we believe it is explained by the severity of associated disease. The 15.3% rate of relapse calls for long-term follow-up of such patients.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar las características epidemiológicas, clínicas, radiológicas, evolutivas y de respuesta al tratamiento en pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar por Mycobacterium kansasii. Métodos: Se incluyeron en el estudio todos los pacientes diagnosticados de enfermedad pulmonar por M. kansasii entre los años 1993 y 1998 en el Hospital de Santa Marina de Bilbao. Resultados: Encontramos a 39 pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar por M. kansasii que cumplían para su diagnóstico los criterios de la ATS. La incidencia de la enfermedad en nuestro medio es creciente. El predominio de afección del sexo masculino fue muy notable (97,4 por ciento). La media de edad de los pacientes fue de 55,9 años. Entre los antecedentes personales destacan la tuberculosis pulmonar (38,4 por ciento), la OCFA (28,2 por ciento) y el tabaquismo (87 por ciento). La mayoría de los pacientes procedían del medio urbano (94,8 por ciento). Entre los síntomas destacaron por su frecuencia la tos (87 por ciento) y el síndrome general (72 por ciento). La hemoptisis se dio en el 31 por ciento de los pacientes. En la radiografía del tórax predominó el patrón alveolar localizado (69 por ciento). La presencia de cavitación se dio en el 76,9 por ciento de los casos. La baciloscopia directa fue positiva en el 76,9 por ciento de los pacientes. Los antibiogramas (sobre 30 casos) indicaron las siguientes resistencias: rifampicina, 3,3 por ciento; isoniacida (1 µg/ml), 10 por ciento; isoniacida (0,2 µg/ml), 100 por ciento; etambutol, 6,6 por ciento; estreptomicina, 90 por ciento; pirazinamida, 90 por ciento. Fallecieron 8 pacientes (22 por ciento, sobre 36 pacientes), todos con graves enfermedades asociadas. En la evolución radiológica destacamos que en el 33 por ciento de las formas cavitarias no se consiguió el cierre de las mismas (sobre 21 pacientes). En la evolución microbiológica destaca un caso de fracaso bacteriológico (2,7 por ciento, sobre 36 pacientes) y 4 casos de recaída (15,3 por ciento, sobre 26 pacientes). Conclusiones: El número de pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar por Mycobacterium kansasii ha aumentado en los últimos años de forma significativa en nuestro hospital. La mortalidad en los pacientes con esta enfermedad fue alta, pero parece explicarse por la gravedad de las enfermedades asociadas que padecían. La tasa de recaídas, del 15,3 por ciento, obliga al seguimiento posterior a largo plazo de estos pacientes. (AU)
