Caracterización de los pacientes con sospecha de aspergilosis invasiva estudiados con prueba Platelia Aspergillus®
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Objetivo: describir las características de los pacientes en los que se realizó prueba Platelia Aspergillus® por sospecha de AI, y los resultados de la prueba según las categorías diagnósticas.
Metodología: se revisaron retrospectivamente las historias clínicas de pacientes con sospecha de AI atendidos en instituciones de salud de Medellín a quienes se les realizó la prueba Platelia Aspergillus®. Se colectaron y analizaron de manera descriptiva los datos clínicos, imaginológicos, microbiológicos y los resultados de la prueba Platelia Aspergillus®.
Resultados: se incluyeron 78 pacientes atendidos entre 2006- 2008. Se diagnosticó AI en 21 (26.9%) pacientes, colonización en ocho (10.3%) pacientes. La forma pulmonar invasiva aguda se encontró en 17 (81.0%), forma diseminada en tres (14.3%). La fiebre y la disnea fueron la principal manifestación. En la tomografía de pulmón se observaron más frecuentemente nódulos pulmonares. La prueba fue positiva en 31 (39.7%) pacientes, en 50% de los pacientes colonizados. En 17 (47.2%) de los 36 pacientes recibieron antibióticos betalactámicos, la prueba fue positivo.
Conclusiones: la AI puede encontrarse hasta en la tercera parte de pacientes con sospecha clínica; sin embargo, el diagnóstico es difícil debido al cuadro clínico inespecífico, además de las dificultades para obtener muestras clínicas y al pobre rendimiento de las pruebas diagnósticas.
