Malaria vivax en niños : aspectos clínicos y respuesta a la cloroquina

Abstract

RESUMEN: Introducción: En Colombia, no hay información actualizada sobre malaria vivax en niños. Objetivo: Describir el cuadro clínico-paraclínico de la enfermedad y evaluar la eficacia de la cloroquina (dosis estándar) para curar el ataque agudo de paludismo vivax en niños (4-10 años). Metodología: Diseño experimental, balanceado, no ciego; 82 pacientes, residentes en Turbo o El Bagre. Seguimiento, 30 días. Resultados: Los síntomas y signos concordaron con la literatura. Hubo desnutrición de largo plazo en 62%, anemia en 53%, retinol bajo (19 μg/dl), recuento leucocitario normal, pruebas hepáticas y creatinina normales. A los 25-28 días postratamiento todas las alteraciones, excepto la desnutrición, habían desaparecido. Falla de la cloroquina: dos posibles fallas tardías. Proporción de falla según tres técnicas de análisis según la intención de tratar: 2.4% (0 a 24%), según el protocolo 2.6% (0 a 25%), según el peor escenario 7.3% (0 a 29%). Conclusión: El cuadro clínico-paraclínico fue similar al de los adultos. El paludismo, más que la desnutrición, fue responsable de las alteraciones clínicas-paraclínicas. La cloroquina sola, sin primaquina, resultó altamente eficaz para el ataque agudo de malaria vivax en niños y debe conservarse como primera opción terapéutica.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: In Colombia is not very common to find updated information about vivax malaria in children.Aims: Describe the clinical and paraclinical disease picture and evaluate the standard dose of chloroquine effectivenessas a cure for the acute attack of vivax malaria in children between 4 and 10 years old.Methods: Experimental design, balanced, not blind, 82 patients and habitants in El Bagre and Turbo, Colombia. Follow-up: 30 days.Results: Symptoms-signs agreed with the known. There were found 62% long-term malnutrition, 53% anemia, low retinol(19 μg/dl), normal leukocyte count, normal liver tests and normal creatinine coefficient. After 25-28 day of treatment, allalterations had disappeared on children except malnutrition. According with the analysis techniques, the chloroquine latefailure proportion was: by the intention to treat 2.4% (0 to 24%), by the protocol 2.6% (0 to 25%), and in the worst-casescenario 7.3% (0 to 29%).Conclusion: The clinical and paraclinical depict was similar than adults. Malaria, was the main responsible for clinicsand paraclinical alterations. Chloroquine, without primaquine, proved highly effective for the acute attack of vivax malariain children and should be retained as the first therapeutic option.
