RESUMO

El virus de la hepatitis E (VHE) es endémico en algunos países en vías de desarrollo. Produce cuadros de hepatitis aguda con casos esporádicos o epidemias. La principal vía de transmisión es fecal-oral sobre todo por aguas contaminadas. En países desarrollados cada vez se describen más casos debido fundamentalmente a los movimientos poblacionales (viajeros, inmigrantes, adopciones internacionales) aunque también han aumentado los casos autóctonos. Actualmente disponemos de técnicas serológicas y moleculares para el diagnóstico de la infección. Describimos la experiencia diagnóstica de la infección por VHE en una Unidad de Patología Infecciosa y Tropical Pediátrica de Madrid(AU)


The hepatitis E virus (HEV) is endemic in some developing countries. It produces acute hepatitis in sporadic cases or epidemics. The main transmission route is faecal-oral by contaminated waters. In developed countries the cases described are more and more frequent, mainly due to population movement (travellers, immigrants, international adoptions), although there have also been increases in the local population. We currently have serological and molecular techniques for the diagnosis of this infection. We describe the experience in the diagnosis of the infection by HEV in a Paediatric Tropical Infectious Diseases Unit in Madrid(AU)

RESUMO

Introducción: Los flujos migratorios determinan la aparición de enfermedades emergentes. Una de éstas es la filariosis, de rara presentación en la edad pediátrica debido a su ciclo biológico. Se realiza una revisión de los casos de filariosis diagnosticados en los últimos años en una Unidad de Pediatría Tropical. Material y método: Estudio retrospectivo de 14 pacientes diagnosticados de filariosis entre 1995 y 2007 en el Servicio de Pediatría del Hospital Carlos III (Madrid). Se analizan diferentes variables y se atienden las características clínicas, epidemiológicas, terapéuticas y evolutivas. Resultados: Todos los pacientes del estudio procedían de Guinea Ecuatorial, con edades comprendidas entre 3 y 15 años. Las especies aisladas fueron 6 casos de Onchocerca volvulus, 8 casos de Mansonella perstans y 2 casos de Loa loa. Dos casos presentaron filariosis mixta. El prurito fue el síntoma guía en el 71% de los casos. En el 78% de los pacientes se observó eosinofilia y fue L. loa la especie con cifras más elevadas. El 85% de los pacientes presentaba coparasitación, y la intestinal fue la más frecuente. El diagnóstico se realizó mediante biopsia epidérmica, detección de microfilaremia, visualización directa y serología. Los fármacos utilizados han sido mebendazol para los casos de mansonellosis e ivermectina o dietilcarbamacina para el resto de las especies. En los 8 casos que pudieron seguirse evolutivamente se demostró curación. Conclusiones: Es obligatorio realizar cribado de filariosis en todo paciente procedente de área endémica, especialmente en aquellos que presenten eosinofilia. El diagnóstico en la edad pediátrica, aunque difícil, permite prevenir el desarrollo de la enfermedad, las complicaciones graves como la ceguera e interrumpir el ciclo vital del parásito (AU)


Introduction: The migration causes the emergence of new diseases in our environment. One of them is the filariosis which, due to the biologic cycle peculiarity, it’s weird its appearance in pediatrics. This studio accomplishes a review of all the filariosis cases diagnosed the last years in an Unit specialized in Tropical Pediatrics Diseases. Material and methods: Retrospective analysis comprising 14 patients than were diagnosed with filariosis from 1995 to 2007 in the Pediatrics Unit of Carlos III Hospital (Madrid). They have been analyzed several variables to cope with clinic-epidemiological, therapeutics and evolutional characteristics. Results: All patients in the study came from Equatorial Guinea, their ages were between 3 and 15 years old. The isolated species were: 6 cases with O. volvulus, 8 with M. perstans and 2 with Loa-loa. The pruritus was the main symptom in the 71% of the cases. The eosinophilia was detected in the 78% of the patients, and the Loa-loa was the specie with higher figures. The 85% of the patients showed co-parasitation, being the intestinal the most frecuent. The diagnostics was established by epidermic biopsy, microfilaremia detection, direct visualization and serology. The utilized drugs were: Mebendazole for the cases with M. perstans and Ivermectin or Dietylcarbamazine for the rest of the species. One child showed mixed filariosis. The cure was successful in the 8 cases that could be followed up (AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of HIV-1 non-B subtypes (HIV-NBS) is increasing in Europe, because of emigration from countries where genetic variants are endemic. Although HIV-NBS could have a different clinical evolution and could respond differently to antiretrovirals (AR) than B-subtypes, these variant's response remain undocumented. AIMS: To identify HIV-1 genetic variants and to determine clinical evolution in a non-Spaniard children infected with HIV-1. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Children with HIV-1 infection from endemic countries were tested for HIV-1 subtypes between 1-1-1988 and 31-12-2006. Twelve children less than 18 years old and born abroad were selected. RESULTS: HIV-NBS were isolated in 5 children (42%): CRF2_AG recombinant in 3 cases (Equatorial Guinea), Subtype C in one (Equatorial Guinea) and CRF13_cpx in last one (India). DISCUSSION: Because of the increasing frequency of patients with HIV-NBS and their unknown long-term evolution, all children from endemic countries should be tested for HIV subtypes. We believe new studies with more patients during longer times could reveal differences in these patient's clinical, immunological and virological evolution.

RESUMO

Introducción: la prevalencia de las nuevas infecciones por subtipos distintos de B del VIH-1 y recombinantes entre subtipos del VIH-1 se está incrementando en Europa occidental. Esto se debe principalmente a los movimientos migratorios desde zonas donde estas variantes genéticas son endémicas. Existe una amplia base teórica sobre la probablemente peor respuesta inmunovirológica de los subtipos distintos de B del VIH-1, pero esto no se ha demostrado en la experiencia clínica. Objetivos: identificar las diferentes variantes genéticas del VIH-1 y su evolución clínica en una serie de niños infectados por VIH-1 de procedencia no española. Pacientes y método: estudio retrospectivo de las historias clínicas y caracterización del subtipo del VIH-1 en 12 pacientes infectados entre enero de 1988 y diciembre de 2006, menores de 18 años al diagnóstico y de procedencia no española. Resultados: se aisló un subtipo del VIH-1 distinto de B en 5 (42%) niños: el recombinante CRF2_AG se aisló en 3 casos (Guinea Ecuatorial), el subtipo C en 1 (Guinea Ecuatorial) y el recombinante CRF13_cpx en 1 (India). Discusión: debido al aumento creciente de la inmigración y de las adopciones internacionales, es previsible que asistamos a un incremento en el número de infecciones pediátricas por VIH-1 de subtipos distintos de B y recombinaciones del VIH-1. La caracterización del subtipo genético del VIH-1 debería realizarse dentro de la rutina clínica en niños infectados o expuestos al VIH-1 cuyo origen sea de áreas geográficas con alta prevalencia de subtipos distintos del B. Estudios con un mayor número de pacientes permitirían detectar, en caso de que las hubiera, diferencias en la evolución clínica, inmunológica y virológica (AU)

RESUMO

It is of paramount importance to know the vaccination status in internationally adopted children, so that they can be correctly immunized. This study ascertains the seroprotection rate for vaccine-preventable diseases and the validity of the immunization cards in 637 adopted children. The absence of the immunization card (13% of children) correlated with a poor global vaccine protection. Children with immunization records (87%) had a better global seroprotection but the information obtained from the card did not accurately predict seroprotection for each particular antigen. The best variable to predict the status of seroprotection was the country of origin. The highest rate of protection was found in children from Eastern Europe and, in descending order, India, Latin America, China and Africa. General recommendations for immunization of internationally adopted children are difficult to establish. Actions for vaccination have to be mainly implemented on the basis of the existence of the immunization card and of the country of origin.

RESUMO

La consulta de un niño procedente de una zona tropical es una situación cada día más habitual en nuestro país. Ante el aumento casi exponencial de la población inmigrante, es necesario tener en cuenta las patologías no endémicas en nuestro medio. En este artículo se pretende enumerar las enfermedades infecciosas y tropicales propias de los niños africanos y ofrecer una primera aproximación diagnóstica de éstas en función de su sintomatología(AU)


Children from tropical zones are being brought to Spanish outpatient clinics with increasing frequency. Given the nearly exponential increase in the immigrant population, it is necessary to take into consideration diseases that are not endemic in our geographical region. The purpose of this article is to specify the infectious and tropical diseases most widely detected in African children and provide an initial diagnostic approach for each on the basis of the symptomatology(AU)

RESUMO

La malaria importada en la edad pediátrica es una enfermedad emergente en nuestro medio gracias al aumento de los viajes internacionales a países endémicos y a la llegada de niños inmigrantes o adoptados desde estas zonas. Describimos el caso de una niña adoptada procedente de Etiopía con parasitación por P. falciparum, que se encontraba asintomática a su llegada y sólo presentaba esplenomegalia como único hallazgo clínico. El diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz de esta enfermedad resulta fundamental para disminuir la morbimortalidad asociada, por lo que siempre debe descartarse en aquellos pacientes procedentes de área endémica(AU)


Imported childhood malaria has become an emerging disease in Spain. The two main reasons are international travel to endemic countries and the increase in immigrant and adopted children coming from those geographical regions. We describe the case of an adopted Ethiopian girl who was infected with Plasmodium falciparum, although with the exception of splenomegaly, she was asymptomatic at the time of her arrival. Early diagnosis and treatment of malaria is essential to decrease the associated morbidity and mortality. Therefore, steps should be taken to rule out this disease in patients coming from endemic areas(AU)

RESUMO

Paediatric Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection (HIV) nowadays is a chronic disease with an excellent long term prognosis, but lifelong combined antiretroviral treatment is required. However, an improved quality of life in this population is limited by adverse drug effects. The highest risk of treatment toxicity is developing a complete metabolic syndrome including: Hyperlipemia, lipodystrophy, insulin resistance, lactic acidosis, osteopenia, hypertension, and specific system and organ toxicity, such as the kidney, liver, CNS or bone marrow. The risk of cardiovascular disease adult life and also definitive bone mass damage are the most significant metabolic costs that have to paid for increased survival. Most of these toxicities were able to be adequately treated but, pharmacological interferences, patient intolerance and the high number of drugs are the problems that limit the adherence to treatment, which is essential for a good therapeutical efficacy. In this article, we present four HIV paediatric patients who presented with almost the whole range of metabolic toxicities, and a practical overview of therapeutical management.

RESUMO

A world increase in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has been reported over the last few years. A larger number of diagnoses are being seen in Spain, due to the increase of immigration from high endemic TB countries. Articles published on this are anecdotal in children, and there is no clear directives for treatment of MDR-TB, or latent tuberculosis infection (ITBL) or on prophylaxis after exposure to active pulmonary MDR-TB. We present the initial management and progression of nine children after close contact exposure to an Ecuadorian woman diagnosed with active pulmonary TB, resistant to Isoniazid, Rifampicin and Pyrazinamide.

RESUMO

En la actualidad, la infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) en niños es una enfermedad crónica con un excelente pronóstico a largo plazo, pero que precisa tratamiento combinado con fármacos antirretrovirales de por vida. Sin embargo, la mejoría en la calidad de vida está limitada por los efectos secundarios de los fármacos; el más importante es la predisposición a un síndrome de toxicidad metabólica más o menos completo con: hiperlipidemia, lipodistrofia, resistencia a la insulina, acidosis láctica, osteopenia, hipertensión arterial y toxicidad específica de órganos como riñón, hígado, sistema nervioso central (SNC) y médula ósea. El riesgo de enfermedad cardiovascular en la vida adulta y la previsible alteración en la masa ósea definitiva son el coste metabólico más importante que hay que pagar por la supervivencia a largo plazo. Aunque muchas de estas alteraciones pueden tratarse adecuadamente, las interacciones farmacológicas, las intolerancias y el elevado número de pastillas ponen en riesgo el correcto cumplimiento, esencial para asegurar la eficacia terapéutica. Presentamos en este artículo a cuatro pacientes pediátricos que describen un abanico de posibilidades de toxicidad metabólica en niños infectados por el VIH, así como un enfoque práctico del tratamiento terapéutico (AU)

RESUMO

Durante los últimos años se ha observado un incremento mundial de la tuberculosis multirresistente (TB-MDR). En España con el aumento de la inmigración desde países con endemia elevada de tuberculosis, estamos asistiendo a un mayor número de diagnósticos. En niños las series publicadas al respecto son escasas y no existen directrices claras de tratamiento de la enfermedad, de la infección tuberculosa latente y de la profilaxis tras exposición a enfermo bacilífero TB-MDR. Se presenta la actitud inicial y la evolución de nueve niños con exposición a un caso índice: mujer ecuatoriana diagnosticada de tuberculosis bacilífera resistente a isoniacida, rifampicina y pirazinamida (AU)

RESUMO

It's known that there has been a resurgence of malaria in the world. Purpose of this article is to point out the increase in number of cases of imported malaria in children in Spain. Authors performed a clinical study and review up to date treatment and prophylaxis of the disease. They communicate cases of three children infected by Plasmodium falciparum resistant to chloroquine, proceeding from areas that up to one year ago were considered to be not resistant. Data published on prevention and selective primary health care of malaria in the world are revised.
