RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Prophylaxis with posaconazole (PP) is effective in the prevention of invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised adult patients. However, evaluation of its effectiveness and safety in children is limited. The aim of the study was to describe the use of posaconazole as antifungal prophylaxis in children. METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of immunocompromised patients younger than 13 years with hematologic diseases and post hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) who received antifungal PP at the Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño San Borja (INSN-SB) in Lima, Peru, from January 2014 to December 2018. RESULTS: Fifty-six courses of PP were identified in 47 patients with a median age of 7.5 years (IQR, 4-10), 51.6% (n = 24) of whom were female. The main underlying medical conditions were aplastic anemia (n = 19, 33.9%), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n = 18, 32.1%), acute myeloid leukemia (n = 14, 25.0%), and 34.1% had undergone HSCT. The median dose of posaconazole was 13.62 mg/kg/day (IQR, 12.0-16.8), and the median duration of PP was 24 days (IQR, 16-82). Gastrointestinal symptoms included abdominal pain (17.9%), nausea (16.1%), diarrhea (7.1%), and vomiting (3.6%). Elevated alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels were observed in 9/35 patients (25.7%) and 10/51 (19.6%) patients, respectively. Five cases of breakthrough fungal infection were identified (8.9%). CONCLUSIONS: Patients younger than 13 years who received PP showed an increase in transaminase values, and the development of breakthrough fungal infections.

RESUMO

Objetivos: Determinar el conocimiento de los médicos del Hospital Belén de Trujillo sobre los comités hospitalarios de ética y conocer su actitud frente a dichos comités. Material y método: Estudio observacional, descriptivo y de corte transversal, con una muestra de 103 médicos del Hospital Belén de Trujillo. Los datos se recolectaron a través de un cuestionario anónimo previamente validado. Resultados: El 30.1 por ciento de los médicos del hospital Belén de Trujillo conocen sobre los comités hospitalarios de ética y el 69,9 por ciento no. De los médicos que conocen sobre los comités hospitalarios de ética: el 80,6 por ciento expresó la necesidad de formación de dichos comités en su institución y el 19,4 por ciento no; y el 48,4 por ciento está dispuesto a formar parte de dichos comités y el 51,6 por ciento no. El 100 por ciento de los médicos expresó su consentimiento a recibir información sobre los comités hospitalarios de ética. Conclusiones: El estudio demuestra una insuficiencia en el conocimiento de los médicos sobre los comités hospitalarios de ética, lo que incide en su actitud de no participar en forma activa en dichos comités; sin embargo los médicos expresaron la necesidad de contar con ellos en su institución y se muestran dispuestos a recibir mayor información al respecto.
