Manejo diagnóstico y terapéutico de un niño afecto de una leishmaniasis visceral refractaria al tratamiento con Anfotericina B liposomal

Abstract

El tratamiento actualmente recomendado para la Leishmaniasis visceral por L. infantum es Anfotericina B liposomal (ABL), a una dosis de 4 mg/kg durante 5 días consecutivos y una dosis de recuerdo al décimo día. Este tratamiento presenta baja toxicidad, alta eficacia y costes más bajos en comparación con otros fármacos debido a estancias hospitalarias más cortas. La PCR específica de Leishmania es una técnica reciente con alta especificidad y sensibilidad. Caso clínico: Paciente diagnosticado previamente de LV y tratado con ABL según la pauta previamente descrita con evolución clínica y analítica favorable. Reconsulta por reaparición de esplenomegalia marcada, fiebre y afectación del estado general. Serología: Leishmania IgG e IgM positivas. El resultado positivo de PCR específica de L. infantum en sangre periférica permite finalmente establecer el diagnóstico de persistencia de Leishmaniasis visceral. Recibe un segundo ciclo de ABL, añadiendo una séptima dosis al día 14 consiguiendo remisión clínica y analítica completa, sin signos de recaída durante el seguimiento. Discusión: La resistencia o respuesta incompleta al tratamiento con ABL en pacientes inmunocompetentes es infrecuente. En su caso se recomienda modificar la pauta del tratamiento añadiendo una dosis adicional el día 14 y descartar una posible coinfección con VIH. La PCR específica tiene gran utilidad en pacientes con sospecha de persistencia de infección con leishmania y pacientes inmunodeficientes ya que estos últimos presentan con cierta frecuencia falsos negativos en la serología
