Las infecciones del tracto respiratorio inferior constituyen un enorme flagelo para la humanidad. La neumonía aguda comunitaria es la principal enfermedad respiratoria por frecuencia y severidad. A pesar de los avances de la medicina moderna, su morbilidad y mortalidad permanecen prácticamente incambiadas. La respuesta ante un agravio infeccioso es estrictamente individual al estar influida por la estructura genética del huésped. La medicina genómica procura personalizar y optimizar el diagnóstico, pronóstico y tratamiento mediante el reconocimiento de la influencia que ejercen determinadas variantes genéticas, denominadas polimorfismos, en la susceptibilidad y evolución de las diversas patologías. Los polimorfismos genéticos son capaces de modificar el riesgo de padecer determinado evento o suceso en una enfermedad específica por lo cual su reconocimiento permite personalizar la interacción entre ambiente y huésped. En el presente artículo se describen los polimorfismos que están asociados positivamente con la evolución de la neumonía aguda comunitaria y qué aplicaciones clínicas podría tener la medicina genómica Summary Lower respiratory tract infections constitute a serious problem for humanity. Community-acquired pneumonia is the main respiratory disease due to frequency and severity. In spite of progress made by modern medicine, mortality and morbility rates remain unchanged. Response to an infectious attack is strictly personal as it is influenced by the host's genetic structure. Genomic medicine aims to personalize and optimize diagnosis, prognosis and treatment by acknowledging the influence of certain genetic variations, called polymorphisms, on susceptibility and the evolution of several pathologies. Genetic polymorphisms are able to modify the risk of suffering a certain event or episode in a specific disease and being aware of this enables personalizing the interaction between the environment and the host. The present study describes polymorphisms that are positively associated to the evolution of acute-community acquired pneumonia and the possible clinical applications by genomic medicine. Résumé Les infections des voies respiratoires inférieures constituent un énorme fléau pour l'humanité. La pneumonie aigue communautaire est la principale maladie respiratoire, par sa fréquence et par sa gravité. Malgré les progrès de la médecine moderne, sa morbidité et sa mortalité restent presque inchangées. La réponse face à une infection est strictement individuelle puisque la structure génétique du hôte en a une influence directe. La médecine génomique essaie de personnaliser et d'optimiser le diagnostic, le pronostic et le traitement, tenant compte de l'influence de certaines variantes génétiques, appelées polymorphismes, sur la susceptibilité et l'évolution des diverses pathologies. Les polymorphismes génétiques sont capables de modifier le risque de subir un événement déterminé au cours d' une maladie spécifique; sa reconnaissance permet donc de personnaliser l'interaction entre ambiance et hôte. Dans cet article, on fait la description des polymorphismes associés positivement à l'évolution de la pneumonie aigue communautaire et des actions cliniques que pourrait mener la médecine génomique. Resumo As infecções do trato respiratório inferior são um importante problema para a humanidade sendo a pneumonia aguda comunitária a principal doença respiratória por sua freqüência e gravidade. Apesar dos avanços da medicina moderna sua morbidade e mortalidade permanecem praticamente inalteradas. A resposta ante um ataque infeccioso é estritamente individual por estar sujeita à estrutura genética do hóspede. A medicina genômica busca personalizar e otimizar o diagnóstico, prognóstico e tratamento reconhecendo a influencia que exercem determinadas variantes genéticas, denominadas polimorfismos, sobre a suscetibilidade e a evolução das diferentes patologias. Os polimorfismos genéticos são capazes de modificar o risco de sofrer determinado evento em uma doença específica pelo qual seu reconhecimento permite personalizar a interação entre ambiente e hóspede. Neste artigo os polimorfismos que estão associados positivamente com a evolução da pneumonia aguda comunitária e as possíveis aplicações clínicas da medicina genômica são descritos.

Resumen Introducción: en nuestro país no existen trabajos sistemáticos relativos a la incidencia de virus que provoquen encefalitis y meningitis. Sí existen trabajos realizados en las décadas de 1960 y 1970 sobre seroprevalencia de arbovirus y poliovirus. Mediante la técnica de reacción en cadena de polimerasa (PCR) aplicada al líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR) hoy es posible realizar en un breve lapso de tiempo un diagnóstico de certeza sobre diversos agentes virales responsables de estas neurovirosis. Material y métodos: se exploró la incidencia de virus de la familia herpes, enterovirus y grupo arbovirus mediante técnicas de PCR aplicadas al LCR en pacientes VIH negativos. Resultados: este trabajo presenta a 59 pacientes VIH negativos que padecieron encefalitis y meningitis de presumible etiología viral. Estos agentes son los responsables de la mayor cantidad de meningitis y encefalitis que suceden en nuestro continente. Conclusiones: el diagnóstico virológico final es posible realizarlo en más de la mitad de los casos presentados, predominando virus de la familia herpes tanto en niños como en adultos, no siendo despreciable la incidencia de enterovirus. No se detectó en este trabajo la presencia de arbovirus. Summary Introduction: in our country there are no systematic studies on the incidence of virus as a cause of encephalitis and meningitis. However, some studies on the seroprevalence of arbovirus and poliovirus were carried out in the sixties and seventies. Today, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) applied to cerebrospinal fluid technique allows us to obtain accurate diagnosis within a short time, on the different viral agents that cause these neuroviroses. Method: we explored the incidence of virus from the herpesvirus, enterovirus and arbovirus group through PCR techniques applied to HIV negative patients. Results: this study included 59 HIV negative patients who suffered from encephalitis and meningitis of viral etiology. These agents are responsible for most of the cases of meningitis and encephalitis in our continent. Conclusions: the final viral diagnosis may be obtained in over half of the cases presented. The herpesvirus is the most frequent both in children and in adults, being it significant the incidence of enterovirus. No arbovirus were identified in this study. Résumé Introduction: dans notre pays, il n'existe pas de travaux systématiques relatifs à l'incidence des virus qui provoquent encéphalite et méningite. Il existe des travaux sur séroprévalence d'arbovirus et poliovirus faits entre 1960 et 1970. Au moyen de la technique d'amplification en chaîne de polymérase (PCR) appliquée au liquide céphalora-chidien (LCR), il est aujourd'hui possible de réaliser promptement un diagnostic certain sur divers agents viraux responsables de ces neuroviroses. Matériel et méthode: on explore l'incidence de virus de la famille herpès, entérovirus et arbovirus par des techniques de PCR appliquées au LCR chez des patients VIH négatifs. Résultats: ce travail présente 59 patients VIH négatifs qui subissent encéphalite et méningite de probable étiologie virale. Ces agents sont les responsables de la plupart des méningites et des encéphalites présentes dans notre continent. Conclusions: le diagnostic virologique final est possible pour la moitié des cas présentés, étant le virus de famille herpès prédominant chez les enfants et les adultes, l'incidence d'entérovirus restant importante. La présence d'arbovirus ne fut pas repérée. Resumo Introdução: no nosso país não existem estudos sistemáticos relativos à incidência de vírus que provoquem encefalites e meningites. Existem trabalhos realizados nas décadas de 1960 e 1970 sobre a soroprevalência de arbovírus e de poliovirus. Utilizando a técnica de reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR) no líquido cefalorraquidiano (LCR) é possível realizar, em pouco tempo, um diagnóstico de certeza sobre diversos agentes virais responsáveis por estas neuroviroses. Material e métodos: buscou-se determinar a incidência de vírus das famílias herpes, enterovírus e grupo arbovírus pelas técnicas de PCR no LCR de pacientes VIH negativos. Resultados: este trabalho apresenta 59 pacientes VIH negativos que tiveram encefalite ou meningite com provável etiologia viral. Estes agentes são responsáveis pelo maior número de casos de meningite e encefalite no nosso continente. Conclusões: em mais da metade dos casos apresentados foi possível realizar o diagnóstico virológico final; registrou-se uma predominância dos vírus da família herpes tanto em crianças como em adultos sendo que a incidência de enterovírus não era desprezível. Não se detectou a presença de arbovirus.

Background: In 2008, a 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) was introduced into the routine childhood immunization program in Uruguay, with a 2+1 schedule. In 2010, PCV13 replaced PCV7, and the same 2+1 schedule was used. The effect of these pneumococcal vaccines on the incidence of invasive pneumococcal infections (IPD) and on serotype distribution was analyzed retrospectively, based on passive national laboratory surveillance. Methods: Data from 1,887 IPD isolates from 5 years before and 5 years after PCV7 introduction (7 before and 3 after PCV13 introduction) was examined to assess the incidence rate per 100,000 age-specific population of all IPD, PCV7-serotypes, and PCV13-serotypes associated IPD among children <2 years and 2 to 4 years old, and patients ≥5 years old. Trends of frequency for each serotype were also analyzed. Results: Comparison of pre-vaccination (2003–2007) and post-vaccination (2008–2012) periods showed a significant decrease in IPD incidence among children <2 years old (IR 68.7 to IR 29.6, p<0.001) and children 2 to 4 years (p<0.04). IPD caused by serotypes in PCV7 was reduced by 95.6% and IPD caused by 6 serotypes added in PCV13 was reduced by 83.9% in children <5 years old. Indirect effects of both conjugate vaccines were observed among patients ≥5 years old one year after the introduction of each vaccine, in 2010 for PCV7 and in 2012 for PCV13. Nevertheless, for reasons that still need to be explained, perhaps due to ascertainment bias, total IPD in this group increased after 2007. In 2012, the relative frequency of vaccine serotypes among vaccinated and unvaccinated population declined, except for serotype 3. Non vaccine serotypes with increasing frequency were identified, in rank order: 12F, 8, 24F, 22F, 24A, 15C, 9N, 10A and 33. Conclusion: Consecutive immunization with PCV7 and PCV13 has significantly reduced IPD in children <5 years of age in Uruguay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
