Síndrome de Lady Windermere en Castilla y León

El síndrome de Lady Windermere fue definido hace más de 20 años por Reich y Johnson, quienes utilizan este término para describir la infección pulmonar por Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) limitada al lóbulo medio y/o a la língula. Presentamos un caso de una mujer de 95 años, sin antecedentes de enfermedad pulmonar conocida, que presenta síndrome constitucional y tos crónica, con diagnostico de infección por MAC en estas áreas.

Lady Windermere Syndrome is an uncommon pulmonary disease characteristically observed in elderly white females with chronic cough suppression and dyspnea. It is classically associated with Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) species. An 84-year-old female was evaluated for longstanding nonproductive cough and intermittent dyspnea. A chest computed tomography scan revealed densities in the right upper lobe and scattered nodular-cystic bronchiectasis. Biopsy was negative for malignancy; however, bronchioalveolar lavage studies showed presence of MAC. Patient was treated with a 12-month course of azithromycin, rifampin and ethambutol resulting in resolution of her symptoms.
