    Hyperferritinemic syndrome: Still’s disease and catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome triggered by fulminant Chikungunya infection: a case report of two patients
    (Springer-Verlag London Ltd, 2015-08-02) Echeverry, Alex A.
    There are four medical conditions characterized by high levels of ferritin, the macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), adult onset Still’ s disease (AOSD), catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS), and septic shock, that share similar clinical and laboratory features, suggesting a common pathogenic mechanism. This common syndrome entity is termed “the hyperferritinemic syndrome.” Here, we describe two different cases of hyperferritinemic syndrome triggered by Chikungunya fever virus infection: a 21-year-old female with SLE and a 32-year-old male patient who developed AOSD after the coinfection of dengue and Chikungunya viruses.

    Curso clínico de pacientes de trasplante autógeno de médula ósea portadores del virus linfotrópico humano
    (Elsevier Doyma, 2015-07-01) Vélez, Juan Diego
    Human T-lymphotropic virus 1 infection is common in Colombia's Pacific coast and has been linked to adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and human T-lymphotropic virus 1-associated myelopathy in a low percentage of cases. In patients with solid organ transplantation, these diseases occur more quickly than in other scenarios but in bone marrow transplantation the true impact is unknown. We describe 3 seropositive patients with lymphoma who underwent autologous stem cell transplantation; in one case there was relapse of the hematologic malignancy and death occurred as a result. Another patient had symptoms compatible with human T-lymphotropic virus 1-associated myelopathy and the last patient had a graft vs. host disease. In seropositive people who need hematopoietic cell transplantation, an active search for this virus is required to be able to follow and assess the virus's impact on outcomes, as well as to assess whether the evolution could change according to the transplant conditioning regimen.
