Abstract: 6Brandt CT, Leite CRC, Manhães-de-Castro R, Brandt Filho C, Castro CMMB. Aderência e atividade microbicida de monócitos em portadores de esquistossomsoe mansônica cirúrgica. Acta Cir Bras [serial online] 2003 Mar-Abr;18(2). Disponível em URL: http://www.scielo.br/acb. RESUMO -A cirurgia nas crianças portadoras de esquistossomose mansônica inclui esplenectomia, ligadura da veia gástrica esquerda e o auto-implante de tecido esplênico no omento maior. A eficácia desse procedimento pode ser responsável pelo desapa… Show more

“…Considering that patients suffering from different diseases who underwent splenectomy are at risk of overwhelming post splenectomy severe infection 6 it is important to consider that patient carriers of hepatosplenic schistosomiasis mansoni who undergo this surgical procedure for decompressing the portal pressure should remain with residual spleen tissue; this is specially true for children. We have shown that several functions of monocytes in patients from the study group remain similar to those from control individuals without S. mansoni infection 5,7,8 . It may be important to consider that these patients, at long term follow-up are also presenting improvement in the liver function, this is again true even for those who persisted with residual infection, and have received a second medical treatment with praziquantel 23 .…”

“…The risk of severe infection is an important health problem in splenectomized patients, greater in children, but still present in adults with the overall rate of 7.0 per 100 persons-years (95% confidence interval, 6.30 -7.78) 6 . The immune protective effects of the splenosis after spleen tissue auto implantation in children with mansoni schistosomiasis who underwent splenectomy has been studied, but although several studies 7,8 have given support to the concept that the maintenance of residual immune function after auto implantation of spleen tissue is beneficial against overwhelming postoperative severe infection, the subject is still matter of controversy when the monocytes of these patients are submitted to stress 8 . The fundamental initiating factor in portal hypertension of patients with mansoni schistosomiasis is an increase in resistance to portal venous flow.…”

“…A fagocitose desenvolvida por estas células é o início do conjunto das atividades biológicas de toda a resposta imunológica, que é constituída por várias etapas tais como: aderência ao substrato, quimiotaxia, ingestão de partículas inertes e produção de superóxido 5 .…”

“…Entretanto, Brandt e cols 5 constataram que se comparando pacientes auto-implantados e esplenectomizados sem autoimplante, o índice de aderência de monócitos foi semelhante ao grupo de indivíduos sadios. Sendo possível inferir que a esplenectomia seguida ou não de auto-implante esplênico não interfere nesta propriedade das células monocíticas 5 .…”
