Trombosis venosa profunda asociada a neumonía varicelosa y anticuerpos anticardipolipina

Abstract: La endocarditis infecciosa es una entidad clínica que produce vegetaciones en endocardio, principalmente a nivel valvular, aunque también puede afectar al septo o al endocardio mural. Se pueden diferenciar tres grupos: infección sobre válvula primitiva, sobre válvula protésica e infección sobre dispositivo intravascular. El agente microbiano causante depende del grupo de endocarditis infecciosa ante el que nos encontremos, siendo los más frecuentes el grupo de estafilococos y estreptococos. Para poder llegar a… Show more

“…For example, it may be helpful to study the risk-to-benefit ratio of assessing all hospitalized patients with chickenpox by lower extremity ultrasonography. This preliminary testing may be especially urgent in the presence of VZV's other thrombotic complications like CVST, since DVT and PE may sometimes develop in conjunction with other VZV-associated clotting states [ 13 ]. Out of these 17 cases, a single death occurred in a patient with a complicated lupus history.…”

“…In the past, various hypotheses have been put forward to explain these dangerous complications, including vascular inflammation caused by direct VZV wall invasion [ 14 ], autoantibodies causing local thrombosis [ 3 ], unmasking of hereditary thrombophilic states [ 3 ], direct endothelial damage, and infection-induced antiphospholipid syndrome [ 5 , 11 ]. Interestingly, although transient deficiency of protein S due to autoantibodies is considered important in the pathogenesis of thrombotic complications of varicella in children [ 18 ] and has been discussed as a possible risk factor in adults [ 5 , 11 , 13 , 15 ], no adult case of DVT or PE itself featured abnormalities of protein S (except for the one we decided to omit from publication included in Beall's list), in contrast to the cases with varicella complicated by CVST [ 14 ] or arterial thrombi [ 19 ]. This surprising lack indicates the need for further research.…”
