Fundamentos

La neutropenia persistente es frecuente en pacientes infectados por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) con inmunodepresión grave. El factor estimulante de colonias de granulocitos (G-CSF) induce la proliferación y diferenciación de los precursores de los granulocitos. Nuestro objetivo ha sido valorar la respuesta a la terapia con G-CSF en pacientes con infección avanzada por VIH y neutropenia prolongada.

Métodos

Revisión retrospectiva entre el 1-12-92 y el 30-1-98 de los episodios con un recuento de neutrófilos menor de 1.000 x 106/litro, durante al menos 7 días y que en algún momento han evolucionado a cifras menores de 500 x 106/litro.

Resultados

Se estudian 36 episodios. En 9 de ellos se realizó tratamiento con G-CSF con una mediana de duración de 9 (3-76) semanas. El número de episodios de neutropenia que precisaron ingresar por fiebre relacionada con la misma fue significativamente menor entre los que recibieron G-CSF frente a los que no lo hicieron (22,2% frente al 66,7%).

Conclusión

En este estudio, el menor riesgo de ingreso por fiebre y neutropenia se asocia significativamente con la administración de G-CSF en pacientes con recuentos de neutrófilos menores de 500 x 106/litro, con una buena tolerancia al tratamiento.

Background

Persistent neutropenia is frequent in HIV infected patients with severe immunodeficiency. G-CSF induces proliferation and differentation of granulocyte precursors. Our objective has been to assess the response to G-CSF therapy on patients with advanced HIV disease and prolonged neutropenia.

Methods

A restrospective analysis of databases containing demographic information, analitic controls and hospitalizations related to neutropenia for patients attending our Infectious Diseases Unit from Decembre 1, 1992 to January 30, 98. The episodes with absolute neutrophil counts lower than 1,000x106/ l at least during 7 days which descend below 500x106/ l at any moment were included.

Results

36 episodes were included. 9 episodes started on treatment with G-CSF. The median duration was 9 (3- 76) weeks. Hospitalization with fever related to neutropenia was significantly less frequent in episodes which received G-CSF (22.2%) than episodes without (66.7%).

Conclusion

In this study, a significantly lower risk of hospitalization due to fever and neutropenia was associated with administration of G-CSF in patients with absolute neutrophil counts lower than 500x106/ l.
