RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis is challenging even nowadays. This study aims to report the positivity rates of new diagnostic methods such as immunohistochemistry and Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction in patients with intestinal tuberculosis, as well as describe the pathological and endoscopic features of intestinal tuberculosis in our population. METHODS: This was a retrospective observational study conducted in patients diagnosed with intestinal tuberculosis, between 2010 to 2023 from the Hospital Nacional Daniel Alcides Carrion and a Private Pathology Center, both located in Peru. Clinical data was obtained, histologic features were independently re-evaluated by three pathologists; and immunohistochemistry and real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction evaluation were performed. The 33 patients with intestinal tuberculosis who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were recruited. RESULTS: Immunohistochemistry was positive in 90.9% of cases, while real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction was positive in 38.7%. The ileocecal region was the most affected area (33.3%), and the most frequent endoscopic appearance was an ulcer (63.6%). Most of the granulomas were composed solely of epithelioid histiocytes (75.8%). Crypt architectural disarray was the second most frequent histologic finding (78.8%) after granulomas, but most of them were mild. CONCLUSION: Since immunohistochemistry does not require an intact cell wall, it demonstrates higher sensitivity compared to Ziehl-Neelsen staining. Therefore, it could be helpful for the diagnosis of paucibacillary tuberculosis.

OBJECTIVE: Perform a prospective study based on sequential clinical, endoscopic, and histologic evaluations of the foregut late after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in obese patients. After LSG, several studies have suggested an increase in the incidence of clinical gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) while others have reported an improvement but based mainly on clinical questionnaires. METHODS: Prospective study of 104 consecutive patients submitted to LSG. Several postoperative endoscopic and histologic evaluations of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) and the gastric tube (GT) were performed and correlated with symptomatic findings. RESULTS: According to clinical preoperative findings, patients were divided into non-refluxers (Group I) and refluxers (Group II). Seven patients were unreachable, leaving 97 (93%) for late evaluation. Among Group I, 58.5% developed de novo GERD, while in Group II just 13.6% showed the disappearance of them. Endoscopic evaluations showed progressive deterioration of the EGJ in Group I, with the development of erosive esophagitis (EE), hiatal hernia (HH), and dilated cardia in a large proportion of them. In the GT, the presence of bile was seen in 40%, and an open immobile pylorus was detected in 82%. Short-segment Barrett's esophagus (BE) appeared in 4%. CONCLUSIONS: Patients submitted to LSG showed a significant and progressive increase in the presence of "de novo" GERD. Also, an increased duodenogastric reflux was seen through an open and immobile pylorus. Therefore, based on these results, it seems like LSG is a "pro-reflux" surgical procedure, which should be continuously evaluated late after surgery.

La etiología más común continúa siendo la úlcera péptica y es más frecuente en hombres y adultos mayores. Objetivo: caracterizar clínica y endoscópicamente a los pacientes con hemorragia digestiva alta atendidos en el departamento de Gastroenterología del Hospital General Pedro Betancourt en el período comprendido entre Enero del 2012 a Enero del 2013. Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo prospectivo, se tuvieron en cuenta diferentes variables clínicas y endoscópicas como: edad, sexo, presentación clínica, tipo de lesión y clasificación de la hemorragia por úlcera; estas fueron representadas en tablas y gráficos por frecuencias absolutas y relativas. Resultados: de los 40 pacientes estudiados con una edad promedio de 57,3 años más o menos 13,5 años; predominó del sexo masculino (72,5 por ciento). La presentación clínica más frecuente fue la melena (65 por ciento). El principal hallazgo endoscópico fue la úlcera duodenal (45 por ciento) y la clasificación de la complicación hemorrágica de la úlcera más frecuente fue el sangrado reciente. Conclusión: la hemorragia digestiva alta continúa siendo una urgencia que se presenta con mayor frecuencia en pacientes mayores de 60 años, fue la úlcera gastroduodenal con estigmas de sangrado reciente el hallazgo endoscópico más común
Introduction: the upper gastrointestinal bleeding is one of the most common emergencies treated at the emergency services. Its average mortality rate reaches 10 per cent. The most common etiology is still the peptic ulcer, and it is more frequent in men and elder people.Objective: to characterize, clinically and endoscopically, the patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding attended at the Department of Gastroenterology of the General Hospital Pedro Betancourt in the period from January 2012 to January 2013. Methods: it was carried out a descriptive- prospective study, taking into account clinical and endoscopic variables like age, gender, clinical presentation, endoscopic findings, kind of lesion and classification of the ulcer hemorrhage complication. The variables were represented in charts and pictures per absolute and relative frequencies. Results: a sample of 40 patients were enrolled with an average age of 57,3 plus or less 13,5 years. The predominant gender was the male one with 72,5 per cent. The most common clinical presentation was the melena (65 per cent). The main endoscopic finding was the duodenal ulcer (45 per cent) and the most frequent ulcer hemorrhagic complication was the recent bleeding. Conclusion: the upper gastrointestinal bleeding still remains as an urgency more frequently in male patients older than 60 years. The gastroduodenal ulcer with recent bled stigmas was the most common endoscopic finding

La hemorragia digestiva inferior ocupa aproximadamente el 0.5% de todas las admisiones de corta estancia en los hospitales de lo estados Unidos. La incidencia de sangrado digestivo inferior es estimada en 20 a 27 casos por cada 100 mil adultos en la población de riesgos. Es más común en hombres que en mujeres. La mortalidad global oscila al 5 % según la causa. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo fue determinar los hallazgos endoscópicos más frecuentes en pacientes con hemorragia digestiva inferior en el servicio de gastroenterología del hospital General del Oeste. Se realizo una revisión retrospectiva de los hallazgos endoscópicos en pacientes mayores de 18 años que acudieron al servicio de Gastroenterología del Hospital General del Oeste entre diciembre del 2003 y diciembre del 2008 con el diagnostico de hemorragia digestiva inferior. Un total de 389 pacientes. De los cuales el55.7 %fueron del sexo femenino y 44.3 % del sexo masculino. Con una edad promedio de 53.2 años. El principal hallazgo endoscópico fue enfermedad diverticular con un 26. 9%, seguido de hemorroides internas y externas con un 26.4% y 12.8 % respectivamente. El 15.4 % de las endoscopias digestivas inferiores fueron normales. La hemorragia digestiva inferior en nuestro centro es más frecuente en mujeres, siendo el hallazgo endoscópico más común la enfermedad diverticular y la enfermedad hemorroidal en ambos sexo...
Lower gastrointestinal bleeding represents approximately 0.5% of all short-stay admissions in United States hospitals. The incidence of lower gastrointestinal bleeding is estimated at 20-27 cases per 100.000 adults in the risk population. It is more common in men than in women. The overall mortality ranges at 5% depending on the cause. The aim of our study was to determine the endoscopic findings in patients with lower gastrointestinal bleeding in Hospital General del Oeste. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of endoscopic findings in patients older than 18 years-old who attended the Gastroenterology Service of Hospital General del Oeste between December 2003 and December 2008, with lower gastrointestinal bleeding diagnosis. A total of 389 patients. Of which, 55.7% were female and 44.3% male; with an average age of 53.2 years-old. Diverticulitis was the main endoscopic finding with 26.9%, followed by internal and external hemorrhoids with 26.4% and 12.8% respectively. 15.4% of lower gastrointestinal endoscopies were normal. The lower gastrointestinal bleeding in our hospital is more common in women, being diverticulitis and hemorrhoids the most common endoscopic finding, in either sex...

La dispepsia afecta la calidad de vida de muchos pacientes y en muchos casos está asociada a la infección por Helicobacter pylori. Esta bacteria es reconocida como el agente causal de la gastritis crónica, se asocia al desarrollo de úlceras gástrica y duodenal y está relacionada con el desarrollo de cáncer gástrico. Como objetivo primario se planteó establecer los hallazgos clínicos, endoscópicos e histológicos asociados a la infección por Helicobacter pylori considerando los genotipos cag A y vac A en pacientes con dispepsia que acudieron al Servicio de Gastroenterología del Hospital Central Universitario Antonio María Pineda. Se trata de un estudio epidemiológico descriptivo de corte transversal. La población estuvo conformada por los pacientes con dispepsia que acudieron al servicio y el muestreo fue de tipo no probabilístico intencional, puesto que se tomó a la población que consultó con síntomas dispépticos y que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión y exclusión establecidos. Dichos pacientes se interrogaron sobre síntomas dispépticos, se les realizó endoscopia digestiva superior, se describieron los hallazgos endoscópicos y se les tomó muestra para estudio histológico y de genotipificación. Se encontró una incidencia de infección por H. pylori de 98,5%, la infección predominó en el sexo femenino, los genotipos cag A positivos y las formas alélicas m1/s1 son los más frecuentes en la población estudiada y, los mismos se asocian con gastritis crónica, úlceras gástricas y metaplasia intestinal incompleta...
Dyspepsia affects quality of life for many patients and often is associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. This bacterium is recognized as the causative agent of chronic gastritis, is associated with development of gastric and duodenal ulcers and, with the development of gastric cancer. Primary objective was raised to establish the clinical, endoscopic and histological findings associated with Helicobacter pylori infection considering genotypes cag A and vac A in patients with dyspepsia who attended the Gastroenterology Service of Hospital Central Universitario Antonio María Pineda. This is a cross-sectional descriptive epidemiological study. The population consisted of patients with dyspepsia who attended the gastroenterology service. The sampling was intentionally non-probabilistic, since we only took the people who consulted with dyspeptic symptoms and met the established criteria of inclusion and exclusion. These patients were questioned about dyspeptic symptoms, underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, endoscopic findings were described and samples were taken for histology and genotyping. We found an incidence of H. pylori of 98.5%, infection prevailed in females, the genotypes cag A positive and m1/s1 allelic forms are most frequent in the population studied and, the same is associated with chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers and intestinal metaplasia incomplete...

Chile is a country with high incidence of gastrointestinal diseases, but there are Chilean populations without access to an expeditious endoscopic diagnosis. Easter Island (3.791 inhabitants) and Chile Chico (3.042 inhabitants). Objective: To describe and compare the endoscopic findings in two subgroups of Chilean population of Easter Island (Isla de Pascua) and Chile Chico. Methods: Endoscopic procedures were performed on selected subgroups from Isla de Pascua and Chile Chico during October 2008 and March 2009, in the context of health operations conducted by our hospital. Results: Seventy two patients were evaluated in Isla de Pascua and 52 in Chile Chico. The most frequent endoscopic indications in Isla de Pascua were epigastric pain (22%), heartburn (18.2%), and gastroesophageal reflux (16.2%) and in Chile Chico: gastroesophageal reflux and pirosis (36,5%), epigastric pain (19,3%), and previous gastric ulcer (5.7%). Endoscopic findings in Isla de Pascua and Chile Chico were: gastritis, 26 patients (36.1%) and 5 (9.6%); peptic ulcer 2 (2.7%) and 9 (17.2%); esophagitis 10 (13.8%) and 6 (11.5%); hiatal hernia, 9 (12.5%) and 11 (21%); and endoscopy without lesions 20 (27%) and 13 (25%), respectively. Comparing the findings in both groups the occurrence of two advanced cancers stands out (gastric and esophageal) in the population of Chile Chico; no neoplastic diseases were found in Isla de Pascua. Conclusion: The endoscopic findings in a subgroup of Chileans belonging to isolated populations are described. Differences in the type of digestive diseases suggest that these are different populations despite sharing the same nationality. Future operations will provide a better understanding of these conditions.
Introducción: Chile es un país con alta incidencia de patología digestiva, sin embargo, existen poblaciones chilenas que por situación geográfica no cuentan con acceso expedito a un diagnóstico endoscópico. Objetivo: Describir los hallazgos endoscópicos en dos subgrupos de población chilena de Isla de Pascua y Chile Chico y compararlos entre sí. Métodos: Se realizaron procedimientos endoscópicos a subgrupos seleccionados en Isla de Pascua y Chile Chico en los meses de octubre de 2008 y marzo de 2009, en el marco de los operativos de salud realizados por nuestro Hospital. Resultados: Se evaluaron 72 pacientes en Isla de Pascua y 52 en Chile Chico. Las indicaciones endoscópicas más frecuentes en Isla de Pascua son epigastralgia (22%), pirosis (18,2%) y control de reflujo gastroesofágico (16,2%) y en Chile Chico: reflujo gastroesofágico y pirosis (36,5%), epigastralgia (19,3%) y antecedente de úlcera gástrica (5,7%). Los hallazgos endoscópicos en Isla de Pascua y Chile Chico respectivamente son: gastritis 26 pacientes (36,1%) y 5 (9,6%), úlcera péptica 2 (2,7%) y 9 (17,2%), esofagitis 10 (13,8%) y 6 (11,5%), hernia hiatal 9 (12,5%) y 11 (21%), sin lesiones 20 (27%) y 13 (25%). Al comparar los hallazgos en ambos grupos destaca la presencia de dos cánceres avanzados (gástrico y esofágico) en la población de Chile Chico, sin encontrarse patología neoplásica en Isla de Pascua. Conclusión: Se describen los hallazgos endoscópicos en un subgrupo de chilenos pertenecientes a poblaciones más aisladas. Las diferencias en el tipo de patologías pesquisadas sugiere que se trata de poblaciones diferentes pese a compartir una misma nacionalidad. La realización de futuros operativos permitirá obtener un mayor conocimiento de las patologías más prevalentes en dichas poblaciones y evaluar la influencia de las...

La Estrongiloidiasis es una parasitosis intestinal de distribución mundial, generalmente paucisintomática que puede producir ocasionalmente cuadros intestinales severos, así como enteritis invasiva e hiperinfección en pacientes inmunosuprimidos e inmunocompetentes. La biopsia gástrica y duodenal es poco empleada, su sensibilidad aumenta en la hiperinfección (hasta un 90%), aún si se compara con los métodos coprológicos convencionales, por lo que la endoscopia puede ser considerada como un marcador de severidad, permitiendo establecer el diagnóstico y las características endoscópicas de las lesiones en el tracto gastrointestinal. El presente caso trata de paciente masculino de 52 años, quien consultó por dolor epigástrico, concomitantemente flatulencias y eructos fétidos, nauseas, vómitos y diarreas líquidas autolimitadas. Examen físico: dolor en marco colónico izquierdo y epigastrio. Hallazgos paraclínicos de eosinofilia, se realiza endoscopia que reporta: Gastropatía Antral Nodular y biopsia con diagnóstico de infestación gástrica por Ss. Se indica tratamiento con Albendazol 400mg/d por 3 días, mejorando la sintomatología. La infestación por Ss en mucosa gástrica es un hallazgo infrecuente.
Strongyloidiasis(Ss) is an intestinal parasitosys of global distribution, usually causing few symptoms although can occasionally cause severe intestinal manifestations, as well as invasive enteritis and hyperinfection in immunosuppressed and immunocompetent patients. Gastric and duodenal biopsies are rarely used, their sensitivity increases in the presence of hyperinfection (up 90%), even when compared with the conventional coprologic methods, so endoscopy can be seen as a marker of severity, allowing to establish the diagnosis and characteristics of lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. The following case is about a 52-year-old male with epigastric pain, flatulence and belching, nausea, vomiting and acute watery diarrhea. At physical examination there was pain at the epigastrium and left hemiabdomen. Para - clinical findings revealed eosinophilia; endoscopy report: Antral Nodular gastropathy with the biopsy reporting Ss gastric infestation. Treatment with Albendazole 400mg / d for 3 days was indicated, improving the symptoms. Gastric mucosal infestation by Ss is a rare finding.
