RESUMEN
Antecedentes: La neumonía por
Pneumocystis jirovecii es causa frecuente de dificultad
respiratoria en pacientes con infección por VIH, cerca del 90% de los casos
ocurren en sujetos con conteo de CD4+ ‹ 200 células/µL; la incidencia ha disminuido
considerablemente con el tratamiento antirretroviral, pero la mortalidad continúa
siendo alta, alrededor del 12%. Las manifestaciones clínicas son variables, desde
una exploración física normal en casos leves hasta disnea, crépitos y taquicardia en
casos más severos; la anormalidad de laboratorio más característica es la hipoxemia
y es frecuente observar elevación de lactato deshidrogenasa › 500 U/L, aunque no
es patognomónico.
Caso clínico: Paciente masculino de 23 años, de ocupación estudiante, VIH
positivo, alérgico a las sulfonamidas, en quien se diagnosticó neumonía por
Pneumocystis
jirovecii y recibió tratamiento con cloroquina y clindamicina. Fue necesaria la
administración de prednisona concomitante a la administración de los antibióticos.
Conclusiones: El tratamiento antibiótico de elección es trimetoprim/sulfametoxazol
a dosis de 15-20 mg/kg/día con base en el trimetoprim, durante un periodo de
21 días; en casos moderados a severos debe prescribirse esteroide, el de elección es
prednisona, también durante 21 días. Para pacientes con alergias a las sulfonamidas
existen tratamientos alternativos, como primaquina 30 mg al día más clindamicina
600 mg cada 6 horas también por 21 días.
