Pneumonia de hipersensibilidade crónica - dúvidas na etiologia e complicações no tratamento.

Abstract

RESUMO: Doente de 69 anos de idade, raça caucasiana, casada, costureira, reformada, com exposição a pássaros e outros animals. Referendada à consulta de Doenças do intersício pulmonar por quadro de cansaço, dispneia de esforço, tosse irritativa e episódios de sensção de aperto torácico, com 2 anos de evolução. Exame objectivo: fervores crepitantes finos bi-basais, sem outras alteraçõ. Exames complementares de diagnóstico: avaliação laboratorial - elevação da VS e da IgA e IgG séricas; estudo funcional respiratório: ligeira dimínuição dos débitos a baixos volumes pulmonares; estudo imagiológico: padrão bilateral difuso em vidro despolido; LBA: alveolite linfocitária; biópsia pulmonar cirúrgica: pneumonia de hipersensibilida·de crónica.Por se tratar de uma doente diabética insulinonecessitante, hipertensa e com antecedentes de glaucoma iniciou corticoterapia em doses sub-terapêuticas. Registouse uma descompensação da diabetes e subida dos valores tensionais que justificaram a interrupção do tratamento.A reavaliação da situação, 3 meses depois, evidenciou agravamento signiticativo dos parâmetros funcionais respiratórios.REV PORT PNEUMOL 2000; VI (3): 239-246 ABSTRACT: A 69-year-old caucasian woman; retired seamstress; with a past history of exposure to birds and other animals. Refered to Egas Moniz Hospital (Out patients/Intersticial Lung Diseases) with fatigue, shortness of breath on exertion, chronic nonproductive cough and episodes of chest tightness, over the last 2 years. Physical examination revealed bilateral fine crackling rales, with no other abnormalities. Diagnostic exams: laboratory findings â elevated ESR and serum IgA and IgG; lung function tests â mild reduction of the FEF 75% of VC; chest X-ray and thoracic CT-bilateral diffuse 'ground-glass' pattern; BAL-lymphocytic alveolitis; lung biopsychronic hypersensitivity pneumonia. The patient had insulin-dependent diabetes, high blood pressure and had had glaucoma. Treatment was started with a low dose of corticosteroids. 4 weeks later steroids therapy had to be stopped due to poor control of diabetes and hypertension.3 months later the patient was re-evaluated and lung function tests showed significant worsening.REV PORT PNEUMOL 2000; VI (3): 239-246 Palavras chave: pneumonia de hipersensibilidade, corticoterapia, Key-words: hypersensitivity pneumonia, corticosteroids therapy
