The condylomata acuminata is a benign epithelial neoplasm induced by papillomavirus, and it is characterized by the proliferation of stratified squamous epithelial tissue that affects the anogenital and oral mucosa. It is considered to be a sexually transmitted disease and has a higher prevalence in individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus. Various therapies have been used for the removal of lesions, such as cryotherapy, surgical laser and surgical excision, which are painful and scarring. These techniques, however, do not eliminate the virus and relapses are common shortly after treatment. The use of immunomodulators has been proposed to be an alternative treatment, as imidazolquinoline has been shown to be effective in the treatment of lesions in the anogenital region. However, its use in the oral cavity has been the subject of few reports in the literature. Thus, the objective of this study is to describe a case of warts in the labial mucosa of an HIV positive patient using imidazolquinoline 5%.
Relata-se o caso de uma paciente de 56 anos com histórico de derramepleural (DP) à esquerda encaminhada para o ambulatório de cardiologiapara investigação de insuficiência cardíaca (IC) como possívelfator causal. Esse relato tem como objetivo trazer para discussão umcaso comum na rotina médica, abordando a necessidade de conhecimentodos fatores etiológicos e diagnósticos da Síndrome de DerramePleural. Os critérios de Light funcionam como importante método deanálise para diferenciação entre DP transudativo e exsudativo, sendoainda fundamental a correlação com demais comorbidades encontradasna história clínica do paciente. Apesar de encontrados fatores derisco para IC, não se confirmou essa nosologia, sendo adequada umamelhor investigação diagnóstica.
