¿Cuál es la indicencia de las infecciones respiratorias?
Las infecciones respiratorias ocupan uno de los primeros lugares en las consultas de los médicos generales. También forman parte de las causas más frecuentes de visita a Urgencias y ocasionan un gran número de bajas laborales. Son además una causa importante de muerte, sobre todo en las personas de edad avanzada, o en situación de inmunodepresión (cáncer, insuficiencia renal o hepática, diabetes, anticuerpos del VIH, ingestión de corticoides, etc.).
- ¿Cómo se diagnostican?
El papel de la neumología en el campo de las enfermedades infecciosas ha sido siempre fundamental desde hace décadas: primero como especialistas en la tisiología –estudio de la tuberculosis- ofreciendo ante la sospecha un diagnóstico rápido, bien procesando esputos, bien con la broncoscopia, e incluso en algunos casos con la cirugía vídeo-toracoscópica (que llevan a cabo los cirujanos torácicos).
Efectuamos técnicas de PCR de las diferentes muestras. Se trata de una técnica de amplificación génica que permite conocer el resultado de la muestra con una gran fiabilidad en sólo unas horas.
- ¿Cuál es el tratamiento de la tuberculosis?
El tratamiento de la tuberculosis será evaluado con las normativas existentes a nivel europeo, en función de las resistencias sospechadas y los efectos secundarios. El Dr. Ruiz Manzano lleva 30 años liderando el estudio y tratamiento de la tuberculosis y es una referencia obligada en capítulos de libros y artículos científicos.
- ¿Qué otras enfermedades respiratorias infecciosas trata el Equipo de Neumología?
También tratamos neumonías en todos sus niveles de gravedad, así como neumonías "no infecciosas" como las neumonías organizadas (antes llamadas BONO) en sus diferentes expresiones. Pneumonitis rádica, eosinofilias pulmonares y aspergilosis son otras de las patologías que vemos de forma frecuente.
Los gérmenes más frecuentes de las neumonías actuales son el Micoplasma penumoniae, el Haemophilus influenzae, el Streptococcus pneumoniae, legionella penumophila, virus, etc.
- ¿Cómo se abordan?
Los enfermos portadores de patología pulmonar crónica (por ejemplo bronquiectasias) a menudo sufren infecciones por microorganismos agresivos y de difícil erradicación. En nuestro Equipo ofrecemos siempre el tratamiento en base a cultivos previos (por ejemplo de esputo), iniciando, si conviene, tratamientos endovenosos de erradicación o bien de disminución de inóculo bacteriano con biterapia endovenosa.
También evaluamos la necesidad de vacunación en nuestros pacientes, bien sea con la vacuna antigripal, o con la antineumocócica.
Efectuamos drenajes pleurales secundarios a neumonía en caso de acumulación excesiva de líquido a causa de la infección para evitar un daño funcional secundario a la reacción pleural, junto a la rehabilitación respiratoria.
