Febre tifóide: recaída por resistência antimicrobiana. Relato de caso

Abstract: Resumo Relatamos pela primeira vez na Amazônia Brasileira um paciente com febre tifóide, com resistência clínica e laboratorial ao cloranfenicol, droga de escolha para esta doença em nossa região. A recaída foi observada no 7° dia após o término do tratamento e a paciente foi tratada com ciprofloxacina. Palavras-chaves: Febre tifóide. Cloranfenicol. Recaída. Resistência. AbstractWe report for the first time in the Brazilian Amazon a typhoid fever patient with clinical and laboratorial resistance to chloramphen… Show more

“…Indeed, increased use of antibiotics in poultry industries for therapeutic, prophylactic, and growth-promoting purposes increases the selective pressure for resistant phenotypes for applied antibiotics [30]. Chloramphenicol is used to treat human salmonellosis, due to its low cost and adequate therapeutic response [31]. Another most widely used drug for salmonellosis treatment is doxycycline belonging to the group tetracycline.…”

“…Another 174 cases were reported in Manaus in 2010-2011 (18) ; thus, the state capital exhibits the highest incidence of typhoid fever. The fi rst case of Salmonella typhi in vitro and the fi rst case of in vivo resistance to chloramphenicol in the Brazilian Amazon were reported in 2002, both occurring in a patient from Coari (19) . This suggests that one reason for the persistence of typhoid fever in the area might be the circulation of bacterial strains that are phenotypically resistant to antimicrobial agents.…”

“…O uso indiscriminado e inadequado de antibióticos, tanto em homens quanto em animais, tem emergido como problema em saúde em diversos países, já que a pressão seletiva destes fármacos sobre bactérias patogênicas em animais também influencia o perfil de sensibilidade de bactérias virulentas ao homem, por troca de plasmídeos, principal mecanismo de resistência bacteriana (Alecrim et al, 2002).…”
