Genotipos deNeisseria meningitidisaislados de pacientes con enfermedad meningocócica en Paraguay, 1996-2015

Abstract: RESUMEN Objetivo Describir las características fenotípicas y genotípicas de cepas de Neisseria meningitidis aisladas de enfermedad meningocócica en Paraguay entre 1996 y 2015. Métodos Se estudiaron por métodos microbiológicos convencionales y técnicas moleculares 114 aislamientos de N. meningitidis y 12 muestras clínicas sin aislamiento confirmadas por reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR) que fueron remitidas por los diferent… Show more

“…Our data show that there is no prevalent circulation of a single MenB cc in Brazil, which has currently been observed for serogroup B IMD epidemiology in some European countries and not in North America [15,17,34]. cc213, cc35, and cc461 have previously been reported in Argentina, Australia, Colombia, Paraguay, Tunisia, Turkey, and Europe [23,22,[35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. Additionally, clonal diversity exhibiting a decline in cc41/44 and cc32 and an increase in cc269 and cc461 was observed in the Republic of Ireland over 19 years [39].…”

“…The genotype ST-1784 (belonging to ST-32 clonal complex) was first reported in isolates from Shanghai in 1978 (SH-78 strain, 1978) then in Australia in 1993 (AU-93 strain, 1993) [26]. Around the world, the serogroup B ST-32 clonal complex has been identified in both; cases of meningococcal diseases as well as, in asymptomatic nasopharyngeal carriers [27]. Furthermore, closely related clones belonging to this complex have been identified as responsible of outbreaks in European, the USA and in some Latin American countries, including Cuba, Chile, Brazil and Argentina [28].…”

“…Se puede observar, que la cantidad de casos presenta un movimiento fluctuante a lo largo de los años. En Paraguay, el grupo de la Vigilancia de las meningitis y neumonías (VIMENE), reportó 126 casos de enfermedad meningocócica entre 1996 y 2015, siendo 81,7% de los casos diagnosticados como meningitis bacteriana aguda por meningococo (9) . Por lo tanto, comparando los periodos 1996 -2015 y 2015 -2019, no se observan diferencias en el número de muertes, a pesar de la introducción de las vacunas para Haemophilus influenzae b en 2003 y para neumococo en 2012 en Paraguay (16) .…”

“…Los que sobreviven reportan secuelas entre el 23% y 29% con déficit cerebral y pérdida auditiva (8) . Si bien con el uso de dexametasona se reportó una disminución de la mortalidad del 30% al 20% (9) . La mortalidad por meningococo es alrededor del 10% con 15-19% de secuelas graves en los sobrevivientes (9) .…”
