IgG E IgM ANTI Chlamydia trachomatis En lactantes con infección respiratoria aguda en tracto inferior.
Abstract
A los fines de determinar la incidencia de anticuerpos anti Chlamydia trachomatis en lactantes con Infecciones Respiratorias Agudas (I.R.A.) del tracto inferior, se analizaron 64 muestras de suero provenientes de lactantes menores de 6 meses que acudieron al Servicio de Emergencia Pediátrica del Hospital Universitario de Los Andes, en la ciudad de Mérida, de los cuales, 32 tenían diagnóstico clínico de I.R.A. del Tracto Inferior, y 32 otras patologías no respiratorias, como grupo control. Para la determinación de anticuerpos IgG - IgM anti Chlamydia trachomatis, se siguió el método de Inmunofluorescencia indirecta. 14 pacientes (43.7%) presentaron títulos significativos (= 1:64) para IgM anti Chlamydia trachomatis. Para el grupo control, 16 muestras (50%) fueron positivas a títulos menores 1:64. Se concluye que el método de inmunofluorescencia indirecta es una alternativa importante para el diagnóstico de I.R.A. del tracto inferior por Chlamydia trachomatis en lactantes menores de 6 meses.
