RESUMEN

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Mucosal leishmaniosis (ML) is a severe clinical form of leishmaniosis. Complex factors related to the parasite and the host are attributed to the development of mucosal lesions. Leishmania RNA virus 1 (LRV1) can disrupt immune response, and may be the main determinant of severity of the disease; it should be investigated. OBJECTIVE: To study the existence of clinical differences between patients with ML with endosymbiosis by LRV1 and. those without it. METHODS: A cross-sectional cohort study with clinical evaluation, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of Leishmania, species classification, and search of LRV1 was performed. Only patients with confirmed diagnosis of ML by positive PCR and with nasal mucosa injuries were included in this analysis. RESULTS: Out of 37 patients, 30 (81.1%) were diagnosed with Leishmania braziliensis, five (13.5%) with Leishmania guyanensis, and two (5.4%) with mixed infection of L. braziliensis and L. guyanensis. LVR1 virus was present in 26 (70.3%) of the cases. CONCLUSION: Correlation between clinical phenotype and presence of LRV1 was not observed, although the frequency of the virus is two-fold higher in mucosal lesions than that found in the literature on skin lesions in the same geographical area.


RESUMO Introdução: A leishmaniose de mucosa (LM) é uma forma clínica grave da leishmaniose. Fatores complexos ligados ao parasita e ao hospedeiro são atribuídos ao desenvolvimento das lesões de mucosa. Leishmania RNA Vírus 1 (LRV1) pode subverter a resposta imune, podendo ser o principal determinante da gravidade da doença e deve ser pesquisado. Objetivo: Estudar a existência de diferenças clínicas entre pacientes portadores de LM com endosimbiose por LRV1 e as que não possuem. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo de coorte histórica com corte transversal com avaliação clínica, detecção da Leishmania por técnica de PCR, classificação da espécie e pesquisa de LRV1. Foram incluídos na análise da pesquisa somente os pacientes com diagnóstico confirmado de LM com PCR positivo, com lesão de mucosa nasal. Resultados: Dos 37 pacientes, 30 (81,1%) foram diagnosticados com L. braziliensis, 5 (13,5%) com L. guyanensis e 2 (5,4%) com infecção mista de L. braziliensis e L. guyanensis. O vírus LVR1 estava presente em 26 casos (70,3%). Conclusão: A correlação entre o fenótipo clínico e a presença do LRV1 não foi constatada, porém a frequência do vírus é duas vezes maior em lesão de mucosa do que encontrado em trabalho, da mesma região, sobre lesão cutânea.
