La meningitis inducida por ibuprofeno en el lupus eritematoso sistémico
JAMA
|March 13, 1978
Resumen
La ingestión de ibuprofeno puede desencadenar meningitis en pacientes con lupus eritematoso sistémico. El retorno controlado de drogas confirmó el ibuprofeno como la causa de la meningitis en este caso.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Neurología Neurología.
- Reumatología Reumatología.
- Farmacología Farmacología.
Sus antecedentes:
- El lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) es una enfermedad autoinmune con diversas manifestaciones clínicas.
- La meningitis inducida por medicamentos es una reacción adversa rara pero grave a ciertos medicamentos.
- La asociación entre el ibuprofeno y la meningitis en pacientes con LES no ha sido bien establecida.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar un posible vínculo entre el uso de ibuprofeno y la meningitis en un paciente con LES.
- Para establecer la causalidad entre la ingestión de ibuprofeno y los síntomas de la meningitis.
Principales métodos:
- Un informe de caso que detalla a un paciente con LES experimentando episodios recurrentes de fiebre, escalofríos y dolor de cabeza después del uso de ibuprofeno.
- El análisis del líquido cefalorraquídeo durante un episodio reveló hallazgos consistentes con la meningitis.
- Se realizó un retorno controlado del fármaco para confirmar la reacción adversa del fármaco.
Principales resultados:
- El paciente presentó cuatro episodios distintos de fiebre, escalofríos y dolor de cabeza después de la ingesta de ibuprofeno.
- Un episodio se asoció con hallazgos de líquido cefalorraquídeo indicativos de meningitis.
- El retorno controlado de drogas demostró inequívocamente que la ingestión de ibuprofeno precipitó la meningitis.
Conclusiones:
- El ibuprofeno puede inducir meningitis en individuos susceptibles, particularmente en aquellos con lupus eritematoso sistémico.
- Este caso pone de relieve la importancia de considerar la meningitis inducida por medicamentos en pacientes con LES que presentan síntomas compatibles.
- Los médicos deben estar atentos a las reacciones adversas a los medicamentos antiinflamatorios no esteroideos en pacientes con afecciones autoinmunes.

01:24Bacterial Meningitis
Bacterial meningitis is a severe infectious disease involving inflammation of the meninges, the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It occurs when pathogenic bacteria cross the blood–brain barrier and enter the cerebrospinal fluid. Common causative organisms include Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae type b, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli K1. The exact route of entry varies by pathogen and host condition.Routes of Entry...
01:18Viral Meningitis
Viral meningitis is the most common form of meningitis and is often referred to as aseptic meningitis to indicate the absence of bacterial involvement. It is generally milder than bacterial meningitis, with symptoms including fever, headache, stiff neck, drowsiness, nausea, photophobia, and vomiting. Rarely, more severe manifestations or death may occur. Common causative agents include enteroviruses, particularly coxsackie A and B viruses and echoviruses, all members of the Enterovirus genus...
01:25Acute Inflammation III: Local and Systemic Effects
Acute inflammation produces a coordinated set of local and systemic changes that limit injury, eliminate pathogens, and initiate repair. These responses arise within minutes of infection, trauma, or chemical insult and are driven by vascular alterations and leukocyte-derived mediators. When the stimulus resolves, the reaction typically abates within days.Local EffectsAt the site of injury, arteriolar vasodilation increases blood flow, resulting in redness and warmth. Simultaneously, increased...
01:22Bacterial Meningitis I: Introduction
Bacterial meningitis is a severe, life-threatening inflammation of the meninges, particularly the pia mater and arachnoid mater, affecting the subarachnoid space, ventricles, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). If untreated, it can lead to significant neurological complications or death.Causative AgentsCommon pathogens vary with age and immune status. In adults, major organisms include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, and Haemophilus influenzae. Streptococcus agalactiae (group B...
01:26Bacterial Meningitis II: Pathophysiology
Bacterial meningitis typically begins when pathogens such as Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae colonize the nasopharynx and invade the bloodstream. This process is facilitated by bacterial virulence factors, such as polysaccharide capsules, which resist phagocytosis and complement-mediated killing. Less commonly, bacteria reach the central nervous system via contiguous spread from infections like otitis media or sinusitis, through congenital or acquired dural defects, or...
01:19Encephalitis l: Introduction
Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain parenchyma, most often due to infections or autoimmune processes. It presents with neuropsychiatric features such as fever, altered mental status, behavioral changes, cognitive dysfunction, seizures, focal deficits, and sometimes autonomic instability. In some cases, the meninges are also involved, resulting in meningoencephalitis.Infectious CausesInfectious encephalitis is most commonly viral but can also result from bacterial, fungal, or parasitic...
