Sordera congénita por rubéola: una enfermedad prevenible
Lancet (London, England)
|February 3, 1979
Resumen
La rubéola congénita es una causa significativa de sordera neurosensorial en niños pequeños. El aumento de la vacunación contra la rubéola es crucial para prevenir este grave defecto.
Área de la Ciencia:
- La pediatría es la medicina de los niños.
- La otorrinolaringología otorrinolaringología.
- Inmunología Inmunología.
Sus antecedentes:
- La infección por rubéola congénita puede conducir a problemas graves de desarrollo, incluida la sordera neurosensorial.
- La identificación temprana y la intervención son fundamentales para los niños con discapacidad auditiva.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar la prevalencia de anticuerpos de rubéola en niños menores de 4 años con sordera neurosensorial.
- Identificar los factores de riesgo asociados con la sordera inducida por la rubéola en niños pequeños.
Principales métodos:
- Se estudió una cohorte no seleccionada de 568 niños menores de 4 años entre 1972-1975.
- La prueba de anticuerpos contra la rubéola se realizó en niños que asisten al Centro de Audición y Habla de Nuffield.
- Los niños fueron categorizados en función de la presencia o ausencia de sordera neurosensorial.
Principales resultados:
- Se diagnosticó sordera neurosensorial en 349 niños; el 24% tenía anticuerpos contra la rubéola.
- Solo el 9% de los niños sin sordera tenían anticuerpos contra la rubéola.
- Se observaron diferencias significativas en los antecedentes familiares, la rubéola materna, los eventos perinatales y otros defectos entre los niños sordos seropositivos y seronegativos.
Conclusiones:
- La rubéola congénita es una causa notable de sordera neurosensorial en los niños.
- La búsqueda vigorosa de los programas de vacunación contra la rubéola es esencial para la futura prevención de defectos.

Unrenewable Cells
In humans, the photoreceptor cells of the eye and sensory hair cells of the ear lack stem cells. These cells are thus unrenewable and cannot be replaced when they are damaged or destroyed.
Photoreceptors
The retina is composed of several layers and contains specialized cells called photoreceptors. The photoreceptors (rods and cones) change their membrane potential when stimulated by light energy. There are two types of photoreceptors—rods and cones—which differ in the shape of their outer...

Teratogenicity
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...
Immunodeficiency Diseases
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) is a severe tick-borne illness caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, a Gram-negative, coccobacillary bacterium. This pathogen is an obligate intracellular parasite, requiring a host cell for replication. Transmission occurs through the bite of an infected tick. In the United States, the most important vectors are Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick) and Dermacentor andersoni (Rocky Mountain wood tick), though other tick species may also serve as vectors.
Cytomegalovirus Disease
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...
Respiratory Syncytial Virus Disease
Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a widespread pathogen that primarily targets infants and young children but also poses a serious health risk to elderly and immunocompromised individuals. Belonging to the Pneumoviridae family, RSV is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus within the Pneumovirus genus. Its global health burden is significant, with millions of cases annually resulting in hospitalizations and mortality, particularly in resource-limited settings. Although most...
