The systemic reaction to severe trauma and/or infection, acute phase response (APR), are often associated with immunosuppression and reactivation of chronic latent infection. Our main purpose was to verify, in a group of 71 autopsied chronic chagasic with or without APR, the frequency of T. cruzi nests in the central vein of adrenal gland (CVAG). APR, defined by: 1) death secondary to sepsis and/or trauma plus, 2) bleeding stress gastric ulcerations or 3) spleen reactional state or 4) liver steatosis, was observed in 30 chronic chagasic (APR+). Weight, height and body mass index (BMI) were obtained. APR(+) chronic chagasic had worse nutritional status than APR(-) ones: weight = 49.0 vs 54.5 kg; BMI = 17.5 vs 20.6 kg/m2 (median p < 0.05). CVAG T. cruzi nests frequency were similar (43.3% and 43.9%, respectively) between both Groups. We conclude that APR(+) chronic chagasic had worse nutritional status than APR(-) ones, and that APR development did not change the CVAG T. cruzi nests frequency.
对严重创伤和/或感染的全身反应,即急性期反应(APR),常与免疫抑制及慢性潜伏感染的重新激活相关。我们的主要目的是在一组71例经尸检的慢性恰加斯病患者(有或无APR)中,核实肾上腺中央静脉(CVAG)中克氏锥虫巢的出现频率。APR的定义为:1)因败血症和/或创伤继发死亡,加上2)应激性胃溃疡出血,或3)脾脏反应状态,或4)肝脂肪变性,在30例慢性恰加斯病患者(APR+)中观察到。获取了体重、身高和体重指数(BMI)。APR(+)慢性恰加斯病患者的营养状况比APR(-)患者更差:体重分别为49.0千克和54.5千克;BMI分别为17.5和20.6千克/平方米(中位数,p<0.05)。两组之间CVAG克氏锥虫巢的出现频率相似(分别为43.3%和43.9%)。我们得出结论,APR(+)慢性恰加斯病患者的营养状况比APR(-)患者更差,并且APR的发生并未改变CVAG克氏锥虫巢的出现频率。
