RESUMO

The high prevalence of allergic diseases and the use of more complex diagnostic techniques and therapeutic options require allergists to be highly trained professionals and health-care organizations to be knowledgeable about available structural and human resources. Updated information is lacking in Spain, and current activity indicators do not reflect complexity. The present article analyzes the situation of allergology in Madrid and proposes improvements where necessary. The heads of the allergy departments of public hospitals in Madrid voluntarily completed a purpose-designed survey. Data on care activity (2010) and on teaching and research activity (2009-2010) were provided. A SWOT analysis was performed, and strategic lines and proposals for improvement were designed. One hundred and seventeen allergists (41% with a PhD) worked in 24 hospitals with an allergology department (4.6 physicians/center; ≤3 in 10 hospitals). All the institutions had an outpatient clinic (4,000 first consultations/hospital/year, 36% high-resolution rate; 6200 successive visits/hospital/year) performing complex diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, most of which were not taken into account by activity indicators. Two hospitals had their own hospitalization facilities and 10 were accredited teaching hospitals (2.78 medical residents/year). The survey revealed that, twice yearly, a typical allergology service participated in 4 research projects, 2 clinical trials, 16 publications and 17 communications at scientific meetings, with notable differences between hospitals. Allergists in Madrid are well prepared. The allergology care structure is adequate, although possibly insufficient. Quality and efficiency can be improved with new tools for recording activity and by increasing coordination and taking advantage of new technologies and geographical proximity.

RESUMO

La alta prevalencia de las enfermedades alérgicas y una mayor complejidad diagnóstica y terapéutica, exigen un alergólogo altamente capacitado profesionalmente y organizaciones sanitarias conocedoras de los recursos humanos y estructurales disponibles. En España faltan datos actualizados en alergología e indicadores de actividad que reflejen esta complejidad. Este trabajo analiza la situación, detecta necesidades y plantea soluciones de mejora para la alergología en la Comunidad de Madrid. Los 24 jefes de servicio de Alergología de los hospitales públicos madrileños con asistencia alergológica, completaron voluntariamente la encuesta diseñada específicamente para este trabajo, con datos de actividad asistencial (2010), docencia e investigación (2009-2010). Se realizó un análisis DAFO y se diseñaron líneas estratégicas y propuestas de mejora orientadas a adoptar las soluciones más idóneas. Un total de 117 alergólogos (41% doctores) en el sistema público de salud (4,6 profesionales/centro; ≤ 3 en 10 hospitales), realizaban consulta externa (4000 primeras consultas/ hospital/año, 36% de alta resolución; 6200 visitas sucesivas/ hospital/año). Se ejecutaban procedimientos básicos diagnósticos y terapéuticos, incluyendo pruebas complejas propias de hospital de día, mayoritariamente no reconocidas en los indicadores de actividad. Dos hospitales tenían hospitalización propia y 10 disponían de acreditación docente (2,78 MIR/año). Bianualmente, un servicio participaba en 4 proyectos de investigación, 2 ensayos clínicos, 16 publicaciones y 17 comunicaciones a congresos, con notables diferencias entre hospitales. Madrid cuenta con alergólogos bien preparados y una organización asistencial alergológica adecuada aunque posiblemente insuficiente. Nuevas herramientas de registro de actividad y el incremento de la cooperación corporativa, aprovechando nuevas tecnologías y la proximidad geográfica, mejorarían la calidad y la eficiencia (AU)

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: baker's asthma is a well-known occupational lung disease which usually develops in adults. We report the case of a two years old boy who suffered from asthma, urticaria and atopic dermatitis for twelve months, whose symptoms were associated to visits to his grandfather's bakery. METHODS AND RESULTS: skin prick tests (SPT) were made to dust mites, moulds, flours, alfa-amylase and egg. It was also determined total IgE and specific IgE antibodies to alfa-amylase and flours. Subsequently, a challenge test was carried out with wheat flour. The SPTs were positive to flours, alfa-amylase and egg. The determination of specific IgE antibodies showed 2.64 kU/L to wheat, 0.79 kU/L to glyadin and 2.98 kU/L to alfa-amylase. The patient developed asthma and rhinitis after manipulating wheat flour for 10 min. CONCLUSIONS: we demonstrated a type I hypersensitivity to wheat flour and alfa-amylase in a two years old child by SPT, specific IgE antibodies and challenge test. This case in the childhood equivalent of occupational baker's asthma.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Sodium carboxymethylcellulose (SCMC) is the sodium salt of a polycarboxymethyl ether of cellulose. SCMC is widely used in pharmaceutical and food industries. We present the case of a 47-year-old man who suffered an anaphylactic shock after an intra-articular injection of Trigon depot. METHODS AND RESULTS: Prick and intradermal tests with Trigon depot and its components (triamcinolone acetonide, Tween 80, benzylalcohol, SCMC), mepivacaine 2% and latex were performed. Challenge test with mepivacaine 2% was also realized. RESULTS: Showed a positive intradermal test to Trigon depot and carboxymethylcellulose, with negative results to the rest (including challenge test to mepivcaine 2%). CONCLUSIONS: Our results support the diagnosis of anaphylactic shock after intra-articular injection of carboxymethylcellulose and we consider necessary to emphasize that excipients must be taken into account as a potential source of adverse reactions to drugs.

Caso clínico: paciente varón que consultó a los 2 años de edad por cuadros de asma y dificultad respiratoria que los padres relacionaban con visitas a la panadería propiedad de los abuelos y en la que la madre trabaja habitualmente. El niño presenta desde los 4 meses de vida dermatitis atópica y urticaria tras ingestión de huevo desde su introducción en la dieta. El paciente tolera sin problemas harinas cocinadas en forma de pan, bollería y pastas. Los 15 primeros meses de vida el niño permaneció diariamente el cuidado de su madre en una habitación próxima al horno de pan. Material y métodos: se realizaron pruebas subcutáneas en prick test y se midió IgE total y específica por método CAP para harinas de trigo y otros cereales, alfa-amilasa, ácaros, hongos ambientales y alimentos. Se procedió a realizar provocación controlada en la consulta mediante exposición a harinas que el paciente manipuló durante unos minutos. Los prick tests resultaron positivos para harinas, alfa-amilasa y huevo y negativos para el resto de los inhalantes y alimentos. La IgE total fue de 244 kU/L, el CAP para trigo de 2,64 kU/L, para gliadina de 0,79 kU/L y para alfa-amilasa de 2,98 kU/L. Tras manipular una pequeña cantidad de harina el paciente presentó a los 10 min tos, leve disnea con sibilancias, rinitis con estornudos y rinorrea que cedieron espontáneamente tras retirar al paciente y tras el lavado de manos y cara. Se recomendó al paciente la evitación de contacto con harinas y se aconsejó no acudir a la panadería. El cuadro clínico ha mejorado con la excepción de urticaria y disnea por manipulación de harina en el curso de actividades escolares y alguna crisis ocasional tras visitar la casa de los abuelos situada sobre la panadería. Conclusiones: se ha demostrado por historia clínica, pruebas in vivo e in vitro y provocación por manipulación la existencia de una sensibilización medida por IgE a la harina y alfa-amilasa. Este cuadro constituye en la infancia el equivalente al asma ocupacional del panadero (AU)

RESUMO

Fundamento: Las semillas de Plantago ovata (Psyllium, Ispaghula), utilizadas en la preparación de laxantes de volumen, son conocidas como causantes de asma ocupacional y anafilaxia. Se presenta el estudio inmunológico de un trabajador de una industria farmacéutica que desarrolló asma ocupacional en relación con la exposición a semillas de Plantago ovata y una reacción anafiláctica posterior a su ingesta. Observación clínica: Varón de 31 años de edad que consultó por presentar rinitis asociada a sibilantes, en relación con la jornada laboral y la exposición a semillas de Plantago ovata. También refirió un episodio de broncospasmo, dolor abdominal, angioedema facial y urticaria generalizada posterior a la ingesta del laxante. Resultados: Las pruebas cutáneas a neumoalergenos ambientales (ácaros del polvo doméstico, epitelio de perro y gato) fueron positivas, así como las realizadas frente a extracto de Plantago ovata. La IgE específica (EIA y CAP-System) frente a Plantago ovata fue positiva y el SDS-PAGE Immnoblotting (Western blot) mostró bandas fijadoras de IgE de pesos moleculares 78, 59, 34, 25,6 y 17,6, kDa respectivamente. Una rinomanometría basal y una prueba de provocación nasal específico a Plantago ovata positivo. Conclusiones: La sensibilización a Plantago ovata es relativamente frecuente en trabajadores expuestos por vía inhalatoria (personal sanitario y de la industria farmacéutica). Existe un riesgo importante de reacciones graves anafilácticas tras su ingesta en individuos sensibilizados. (AU)
