Sr. Editor. En octubre de 2009, el Tribunal Constitucional (TC) del Perú declaró inconstitucional la distribución gratuita del anticonceptivo oral de emergencialevonorgestrel (AOE), comúnmente conocido como "píldora del día siguiente". Esta decisión se basó en los principios pro homine y pro debilis ante el supuesto potencial abortivo del medicamento. En consecuencia, le prohibió al Ministerio de Salud desarrollar dicha distribución en los establecimientos del sector público (1). Sin embargo, su venta en forma privada no fue vedada. No hemos encontrado publicaciones científicas acerca de la proporción de mujeres peruanas que hace uso del AOE.
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) is a neoplasm associated with a group of malignancies called AIDs-Defining Malignancies (ADMs) in Human-Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) -patients. Similar to the case of NHL in Latin America, particularly in Peru, the amount of research done on others ADMs is limited, especially in the case of Kaposi’s Sarcoma (KS). Prior investigations have talked about the great potential risk that represents this illness in latin american population, but topics as prognosis factors are yet to be well defined. In this letter, we address the importance of investigation in this area and include previously reported data that may enlighten the current national standpoint.
