RESUMO

Introducción: Campylobacter es el principal patógeno de gastroenteritis transmitida por alimentos, ocurriendo generalmente por la ingesta de pollo mal cocinado, constituyendo otra importante fuente de infección los cachorros de animales domésticos. Caso clínico: escolar con gastroenteritis aguda con sospecha diagnóstica inicial de giardiasis por ambiente epidémico (gato doméstico). Se recoge coprocultivo en el que se detecta Campylobacter jejuni, prescribiéndose azitromicina, dado lo prolongado de la clínica. A lo largo del control evolutivo en el centro de salud la familia informa de que se ha solicitado nueva muestra de heces en el gato, dado persistencia de los síntomas pese a tratamiento con metronidazol. Finalmente, crece también Campylobacter jejuni en el coprocultivo de la mascota. Tras finalizar ambos el tratamiento antibiótico, permanecen asintomáticos. Como posible alimento sospechoso del origen del cuadro está el corazón de pollo no cocinado con el que alimentaban al gato de forma habitual. Conclusiones: ante un cuadro de gastroenteritis aguda es fundamental una adecuada anamnesis que incluya ambiente epidémico y alimentos sospechosos. En ocasiones las mascotas también constituyen una fuente de transmisión de la infección a nuestros pacientes. En este caso se sospecha la cadena de contaminación: corazón de pollo no cocinado-heces de gato doméstico-niña (AU)


Introduction: Campylobacter is a well-known food-borne pathogen that causes human gastroenteritis. The most common way for children to become infected with campylobacteriosis is through chicken that is not fully cooked, another important source of infection are domestic puppies.Case report: it is presented the case of an eight-year-old girl with acute gastroenteritis, the first diagnostic suspicion was giardiasis due to epidemic environment (domestic cat). A stool culture was collected in which Campylobacter jejuni was detected. Azithromycin was prescribed because of prolonged symptoms. Throughout the control in the health center, family reported that a new fecal sample has been requested from the cat due to the persistence of the symptoms despite treatment with metronidazole. Finally, Campylobacter jejuni also grew in the pet's stool culture. After both finished antibiotic treatment, they remained asymptomatic. The possible suspected infection source was the chicken heart with which the cat was regularly fed. Conclusions: the evaluation of the child with acute gastroenteritis begins with a careful history which includes epidemiological environment and suspicious food intake. Ocassionally, pets are also a source of transmission to our patients. In this case, the suspected contamination chain was: uncooked chicken heart- domestic cat faeces-girl. (AU)
