Médica Santiago, 2002) Navarro M., Héctor; Kolbach Rengifo, Marianne Helene; Repetto Lisboa, María Gabriela; Guiraldes Cameratti, Ernesto; Harris D., Paul R.; Foradori, Arnaldo; Poggi, Helena; Sánchez Díaz, IgnacioBackground: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal autosomic disease in Caucasians, with a global incidence of 1:3000 newborns. More than 900 mutations have been described, involving the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator (CFTR). The delta F508 mutation is present in 60% of alleles studied worldwide. Aim: To report 25 patients with cystic fibrosis in whom a genetic study was done. Material and methods: Twenty five patients (14 men, aged between 18 months and 25 years) with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis based on clinical features plus two abnormal sweat tests are reported. The genetic study considered the 20 most common mutations in cystic fibrosis and was done in genomic DNA of peripheral lymphocytes, by polymerase chain reaction. Results: A mutation was found in 75% of analyzed alleles. delta F508 was present in 50% of cases (delta F508/delta F508 in 8 and delta F508/other in 11). When delta F508 was present, pancreatic insufficiency was always a feature and nutritional status was worse. Respiratory involvement was variable, both for homozygous and heterozygous cases. Other severe mutations such as W128X and G542X were related to clinical manifestations similar to those found in delta F508 mutation. Diagnosis was made before six months of age in 12 patients. The clinical presentation was meconium ileus and there was a family history of the disease in most cases. The majority of cases of early diagnosis presented severe mutations, but milder respiratory symptoms and lesser nutritional compromise at the time of assessment. Conclusions: Most patients studied had a severe cystic fibrosis mutation, which was associated with more severe respiratory, pancreatic and nutritional involvement. The early diagnosis of the disease, which would allow to improve the prognosis and the quality of life, must be emphasized.

- ItemPicaduras de medusas: actualización(2004) Vera Kellet, Cristián Andrés; Kolbach Rengifo, Marianne Helene; Zegpi Trueba, María Soledad; Vera K., Francisco; Lonza J., Juan PedroJellyfish are aquatic organisms, whose number increases under certain conditions of water temperature. They can sting humans, which can be fatal. The liberation of structures known as nematocysts induces the extrusion of the poison, to attack their victims. The poison produces characteristic local and systemic reactions. Since an increased number of these organisms has been detected in our coastline, we review the epidemiology, symptoms and diagnosis of the syndrome produced by the bite, to improve its management.
