Estudo da microflora do megaesôfago chagásico

Abstract: Resumo Pacientes portadores de megaesôfago chagásico foram submetidos à endoscopia digestiva alta e coleta do material com pinças e sondas especiais, em condições estéreis. Foram realizadas quatro coletas, sendo uma do líquido de estase e três fragmentos da mucosa esofagiana respectivamente a um, três e cinco centímetros da transição esôfago-gástrica (linha Z). O material foi enviado em meio de cultura aos laboratórios de microbiologia e de anatomia patológica para a identificação dos germes presentes. Posteri… Show more

“…Surgical treatment of this form of the disease (non-advanced stage) using any technique targeting the gastroesophageal junction has shown unsatisfactory results 18 ; therefore, subtotal esophagectomy with removal of this inert pouch filled with stasis fluid rich in enterobacteria 3 and with important mucosal alterations (stasis esophagitis, dysplasia, and/or neoplasm) is indicated 19 .…”

“…Uma estratégia racional é iniciar a antibioticoterapia para cobrir pneumonia associada ao uso de ventiladores ou utilizá-los baseando-se na flora bacteriana prevalente em determinados casos, como aspiração associada ao megaesôfago chagásico 71,72 e à obstrução intestinal. Finalmente, o antibiótico definitivo deve ser prescrito conforme o resultado da cultura bacteriana (usualmente em 72h).…”

“…Chagas disease is a protozoal disease with high incidence in Brazil and Latin America, but it also occurs in Central America and southern United States [1]; however, it is regarded as a neglected disease that affects five to eight million individuals in Brazil [2][3][4] and about 7% of the population in Latin America. It is estimated that carriers of the disease are about 25% of the population, which can generate a high probability of contamination [5,6].…”
