ABSTRACT

Introducción: La formación de profesionales de la salud en Cuba concibe la educación de estos, en valores éticos y morales. Los errores en los que incurren los profesionales de la salud en sus prácticas profesionales aumentan el riesgo de eventos adversos que atentan contra la seguridad del paciente. Los valores profesionales contribuyen a minimizar los errores y sus efectos. Los errores de medicación son unos de los más frecuentes. Objetivo: Exponer aspectos generales de los errores de medicación, los valores de los profesionales de la salud relacionados con esta temática y el papel de la formación de los profesionales en la cultura de la seguridad al paciente en Cuba. Desarrollo: Se presentan los conceptos de seguridad del paciente y de errores de medicación, vinculados con los valores de los profesionales de la salud y el proceso de formación profesional. El papel de los valores en la prevención y evaluación de los errores de medicación, así como los métodos más usados en su detección. Conclusiones: La academia y las unidades del sistema de salud cubano juegan un papel esencial en la formación en valores de los profesionales de la salud, para que ejerzan sus funciones en una cultura de la seguridad del paciente, donde los errores de medicación estén adecuadamente gestionados(AU)


Introduction: The training of health professionals in Cuba conceives their education in ethical and moral values. The errors by health professionals in their professional practices increase the risk of adverse events that threaten patient safety. Professional values ​​help minimize errors and their effects. Medication errors are one of the most frequent. Objective: To present general aspects of medication errors, the values ​​of health professionals related to this topic, and the role of professional training in the culture of patient safety in Cuba. Development: The concepts of patient safety and medication errors are presented, associated with the values ​​of health professionals and the professional training process. The role of values ​​in the prevention and evaluation of medication errors, as well as the methods most used in their detection. Conclusions: The academy and the units of the Cuban health system play an essential role in the training in values ​​of health professionals, so that they perform their functions in a culture of patient safety, where medication errors are adequately managed(AU)

ABSTRACT

Se presenta un caso de coinfección por Mycobacterium malmoense y Mycobacterium tuberculosis en un paciente cubano con síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (sida), que producía enfermedad respiratoria y hepática respectivamente. Los cultivos realizados a partir de las muestras de esputo demostraron la presencia de una cepa micobacteriana no pigmentada de crecimiento lento perteneciente al grupo III de Runyon e identificada como Mycobacterium malmoense. A partir de los cultivos del tejido hepático extraído laparoscópicamente se aisló una cepa posteriormente identificada como Mycobacterium tuberculosis. El estudio anatomopatológico confirmó el diagnóstico de tuberculosis, el paciente recibió tratamiento específico y evolucionó clínicamente bien. Se reporta un caso infrecuente de coinfección por Mycobacterium, el cual describe el primer reporte de tuberculosis hepática en una paciente con sida en Cuba.


A case is presented of coinfection with Mycobacterium malmoense and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a Cuban patient with AIDS which produced respiratory and liver disease respectively. Cultures done from sputum samples showed the presence of a non-pigmented, slow growing mycobacterial strain belonging to Runyon group III and identified as Mycobacterium malmoense. From cultures of liver tissue removed laparoscopically, a strain was isolated and subsequently identified as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Anatomapathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of tuberculosis, the patient received specific treatment and had a favorable clinical course. This report of a rare case of coinfection of Mycobacterium describes the first report of hepatic tuberculosis in a patient with AIDS in Cuba.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Rhodococcus equi es reconocido como un patógeno emergente que causa importante morbilidad y mortalidad entre los pacientes inmunocomprometidos. Objetivo: confirmar la presencia de R. equi en líquido pleural mediante la técnica del polimorfismo en la longitud de los fragmentos de restricción. Métodos: se empleó muestra de líquido pleural de un paciente sida con síntomas respiratorios. Se realizaron cultivos microbiológicos, pruebas de tinción, fenotípicas, bioquímicas y la técnica del polimorfismo en la longitud de los fragmentos de restricción para el diagnóstico del microorganismo. Resultados: las técnicas de tinción, fenotípicas y bioquímicas brindaron un diagnóstico sugestivo de infección por R. equi, el cual fue confirmado por las técnicas moleculares utilizadas. Conclusiones: este trabajo reporta la detección molecular, por primera vez en Cuba, de R. equi en paciente VIH/sida. Los resultados obtenidos permiten sugerir que técnicas de biología molecular pueden ser aplicadas en el diagnóstico y la identificación de R. equi(AU)


Introduction: Rhodococcus equi is recognized as an emerging pathogen that causes important morbidity and mortality among immunocompromised patients. Objective: to confirm the presence of R. equi in pleural fluid through the restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. Methods: the pleural fluid sample from one AIDS patient with respiratory symptoms was used. Microbiologic culture, staining tests, phenotypic and biochemical tests and restriction fragment length polymorphism technique for the diagnosis of microorganism were performed. Results: the staining technique along with the phenotypic and biochemical tests provided the presumptive diagnosis of R. equi infection, which was further confirmed by the molecular techniques. Conclusions: this paper reported the molecular detection of R. equi from one HIV/aids patient for the first time in Cuba. The results suggested that the molecular biology techniques could be used in the diagnosis and identification of R. equi (AU)
