ABSTRACT
Malabsorptive bariatric techniques are associated with nutritional deficiencies. However, when patients do not respond to supplemental intensive treatments they should be closely followed because they can hide other pathological conditions. We present the case of a 47-year-old man with morbid obesity (body mass index [BMI] 48 kg/m2) who underwent bariatric surgery. In 2016, he presented severe pneumonia and hospitalization at the Intensive Unit Care was required. After this episode, his nutritional state impaired, presenting 6-7 diarrhea/steatorrhea events per-day and requiring several hospitalizations due to the persistence of severe hypoproteinemia. He was given parenteral high-protein associated with low-fat oral diet. He presented a temporary biochemical improvement, but the hypoproteinemia recurred. Finally, tests revealed the presence of Tropheryma whipplei as protein-losing enteropathy. Whipple's disease (WD) is a rare cause of diarrhea and malnutrition, and these symptoms can be confused with the postoperative status of malabsorptive bariatric techniques. WD requires early diagnosis with prolonged antibiotic treatment to avoid severe complications
RESUMEN
Las técnicas bariátricas malabsortivas suelen asociarse a deficiencias nutricionales. Sin embargo, cuando los pacientes no responden a tratamientos intensivos suplementarios, deben valorarse otras condiciones patológicas. Presentamos el caso de un hombre de 47 años, obeso mórbido (índice de masa corporal [IMC] 48 kg/m2) sometido a cirugía bariátrica, que dos años más tarde presentó neumonía severa, por lo que requirió ingreso en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos. Posteriormente, el estado nutricional se deterioró, presentando 6-7 episodios de diarrea-esteatorrea/día y requiriendo varias hospitalizaciones por hipoproteinemia severa. Recibió infusión parenteral rica en proteínas asociada con una dieta baja en grasas y presentó mejoría analítica temporal. Finalmente, las pruebas revelaron la presencia de Tropheryma whipplei, una bacteria que genera enteropatía pierde-proteínas. La enfermedad de Whipple (EW) es una causa poco común de diarrea y malnutrición. Estos síntomas pueden confundirse con el posoperatorio de técnicas bariátricas malabsortivas. La EW requiere un diagnóstico precoz con un tratamiento antibiótico prolongado para evitar complicaciones graves
