Objetivo: evaluar la mejor evidencia actual disponible para generar recomendaciones, con respecto a la efectividad y seguridad del uso de tigeciclina en adultos con infección intraabdominal complicada.Materiales y métodos: se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura, seleccionando los metaanálisis y experimentos clínicos controlados, los cuales se valoraron utilizando la herramienta SIGN, con el fin de generar tablas de evidencia según GRADE de los estudios de tigeciclina en la indicación infección intraabdominal complicada, para posteriormente utilizar un proceso Delphi modificado para calificar las diferentes recomendaciones con el fin de generar un consenso.Resultados: se analizaron los resultados basados en la revisión sistemática de la literatura en la que se incluyeron 5 metaanálisis que cumplieron los criterios de selección comparando tigeciclina con otros tratamientos antibióticos en infección intraabdominal complicada; de los cuales, 2711 pacientes recibieron al menos una dosis del antibiótico (1382 tigeciclina y 1389 el comparador) y en los que no se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los desenlaces evaluados al comparar tigeciclina con otros antibióticos.Conclusión: en pacientes adultos con infección intraabdominal complicada, se considera que el uso de tigeciclina en monoterapia es equivalente en eficacia y seguridad a otras opciones terapéuticas antimicrobianas y no representa un exceso de mortalidad en comparación a otros antibióticos
ResumenEn el presente artículo se hace una revisión de la literatura acerca de la religión, la espiritualidad y su papel en la epidemia del Virus de Inmunodeficiencia Humana y del Síndrome de Inmunodeficiencia Adquirida (VIH/SIDA). Primero se determina el contexto general de la religión vs la espiritualidad a la luz de vivir con VIH. También se hará un abordaje de las limitaciones existentes en las principales religiones alrededor del mundo, con respecto al estigma de la enfermedad. Y finalmente, se describe cuales han sido las acciones beneficiosas por parte de las comunidades religiosas.Palabras clave: Religión, espiritualidad, VIH, SIDA RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY, A VIEW OF STIGMA AGAINST HIV/AIDS: LITERATURE REVIEW AbstractThis article is a review of the literature on religion, spirituality and its role in the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

ResumenObjetivo: evaluar la mejor evidencia actual disponible para generar recomendaciones con respecto a la efectividad y seguridad del uso de tigeciclina en adultos con infección de piel y tejidos blandos (IPTB). Materiales y métodos: se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura, seleccionando los metaanálisis y experimentos clínicos controlados (ECCs), los cuales se valoraron utilizando la herramienta SIGN (Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network.), con el fin de generar tablas de evidencia según GRADE de los estudios de tigeciclina en la indicación de IPTB, para posteriormente utilizar un proceso Delphi modificado para calificar las diferentes recomendaciones. Resultados: la revisión sistemática se incluyeron 9 metaanálisis que incluyeron 5 estudios clínicos aleatorizados con 1873 pacientes, y de ellos 952 asignados al brazo de tigeciclina, no mostró inferioridad frente a los comparadores en curación clínica (RR= 0.76 IC95% 0,57 -1.03), curación microbiológica (RR= 0.92 IC95% 0,61 -1.38), eventos adversos serios RR 1,41 (IC95%0,97 a 2,35), ni mortalidad RR 1,9 (IC95%0,84 a 4,3). La tigeciclina puede relacionarse con mayor frecuencia de eventos adversos leves de origen gastrointestinal. Conclusión: en pacientes adultos con IPTB, se considera que el uso de tigeciclina en monoterapia en pacientes no críticamente enfermos es equivalente en eficacia a otras opciones terapéuticas antimicrobianas. Se debe considerar especialmente como terapia de ajuste en pacientes con infecciones polimicrobianas.Palabras claves: Tigeciclina, metaanálisis, infección de piel y tejidos blandos, infecciones bacterianas de la piel. Tigecycline in complicated skin and soft-tissue infection AbstractObjective: To assess current best evidence available to generate recommendations regarding the effectiveness and safety of tigecycline use in adults with skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTIs). Materials and methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted by selecting meta-analyzes and controlled clinical trials (CCTs), which were assessed using the SIGN tool (Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network) in order to generate evidence tables according to GRADE of studies of tigecycline in the SSTIs indication, and then using a modified Delphi Method to score the different recommendations. Results: Nine meta-analyzes were included compounded by five randomized clinical trials with a sample size of 1873 patients, where 952 patients were assigned to tigecycline. The group of patients with tigecycline showed no inferiority to the comparator in clinical cure (RR = 0.76 95% CI 0.57 -1.03), microbiologic cure (RR = 0.92 95% CI 0.61 -1.38), serious adverse events RR 1, 41 (95% CI 0.97 to 2.35) or mortality RR 1.9 (95% CI 0.84 to 4.3). Tigecycline may be related to increased frequency of minor adverse events of gastrointestinal origin. Conclusion: In adult patients with SSTIs, it is considered that the use of tigecycline in monotherapy in non-critically ill patients is equivalent in effectiveness to other antimicrobial treatmen...
BackgroundThe use of effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) has shown to modify the trend of AIDS-defining malignancies (ADM) toward non-AIDS defining malignancies (NADM); however, Latin America is a region with a known late presentation of HIV/AIDS and late initiation of ART, which could not result in averting the incidence of ADM. The epidemiology of cancers that define or not AIDS in people living with HIV in Colombia is not known.MethodsThe purpose of our study was to identify the trend of ADM and NADM and the effect of ART in a collective cohort of 15 centers of 8 cities in Colombia. After the institutional review board approval, the study was conducted as a retrospective chart review of patients with any diagnosis of cancer presented after the diagnosis of HIV and a year before. Demographic and clinical data related to the HIV infection, ART treatment, and cancer diagnosis were analyzed with Stata 12 software, and associations between different variables were made using univariate and bivariate analyses.ResultsA total of 415 patients with malignancies were included since 1986 (table). Most common cancers were Kaposi sarcoma (n = 227; 54.7%), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 80, 19,3%). Median CD4+ cell count was very low in this population (median 115.5, P25-75 39.5–243) at the time of HIV diagnosis. Most common NADM were skin cancer (n = 22; 5.3%) and Hodgkin lymphoma (15; 3.6%). The ratio of ADM:NADM was 0.5 before 1995 and increased progressively up to 3.0 after 2010 (P = 0.001) (figure). By bivariate analysis, we found a correlation of ADM with older age (P < 0.001), male gender (P = 0.03), recent years (P < 0.001), lower CD4 and higher VL at the time of cancer (P < 0.0001 for both), and mortality (P = 0.027). Cancer-associated mortality was 3.9%.ConclusionThe trend for diagnosis of ADM in Colombia is increasing despite antiretroviral treatment and exceeds NADM diagnosis. Potential explaining factors are the late presentation and initiation of ART, and poor treatment success in this population. Special efforts are required to diagnose and treat HIV patients in Colombia to avert this worrying trend. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.
