Guillain Barré

Context: Guillain-Barré syndrome is a polyradiculoneuropathy of heterogeneous manifestations, necessarily presenting progressive appendicular weakness of variable intensity associated with reduction or abolition of deep reflexes. One of its variants is known as Miller Fisher Syndrome (MFS), characterized by ophthalmoparesis, ataxy and areflexia. It usually has, by etiology, immunomediated reactions induced by acute infections, including HIV. Objectives: This report aims to describe a case of MFS with concomitants HIV infection, attended in a tertiary hospital in northern Paraná and compared it with the literature. [1,7] Case report: A 27-year-old white male patient who presented binocular diplopia, dysarthria, dysphagia, generalized hypotonia, myasfasciculations, sensory ataxia and arreflexia, with a score on the Medical Research Council (MRC) muscle strength scale of 54 points. Treatment with empirical intravenous human immunoglobulina ( IVIG ) was performed pending the result of serologies for etiological screening. He was discharged after eleven days of hospitalization with partial symptomatic improvement and results indicative of acute HIV infection. We compared this case with those described in the published literature Discussion: We compared this case with those described in the published literature and given the low incidence found in the literature of patients with the stage of HIV viremia and the opening of the picture of SMF, the concrete pathophysiology itself is still unknown. The mechanism, however, in which the literature proposes in two theories: (1) an autoimmune action against myelin due to abnormal immunoregulation by HIV; (2) direct action of neurotropic strains of HIV-1. [2.3] Our literature review shows that since 1995, cases of associated guillain barré syndrome have already been reported in the course of HIV viremia. Treatment with immunoglobulin at a dose of 400mg / kg / day for 5 days was done and the symptoms improved. [1,4,6,7] Conclusion: It is exposed, then, a case of HIV-induced MFS whose relationship has consistency, temporality, biological plausibility, coherence and analogy compatible with current literature.

Introduction: Breast lymphoma is a rare variety of this class of tumor in extra-nodal sites, accounting for less than 0.5% of malignant breast neoplasms and less than 3% of extra-nodal lymphomas. The most prevalent type of breast lymphoma is non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) of large B cells. Burkitt lymphoma (BL) occurs in less than 6% of cases and is considered an even rarer subtype of the disease. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), BL can be classified into three clinical forms: endemic (associated with the Epstein-Baar virus), sporadic, and immunodeficiency-related. The clinical presentation of breast lymphoma is similar to that of carcinoma, and imaging tests cannot differentiate them. Objective: This case report aims at providing better knowledge about BL of the breast and conducting a literature review. Case report: A 52-year-old woman with a history of left breast carcinoma (2009) was surgically treated with quadrantectomy, sentinel lymph node biopsy in the left axilla, and adjuvant radiotherapy and hormone therapy. In 2019, she was diagnosed with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and started antiretroviral therapy (ART). Four months later, she noted nodules in her left breast and underwent imaging and histopathological investigation of the lesions. Immunohistochemical results revealed NHL, with characteristics suggestive of BL of the breast. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) for disease staging indicated lymphoma in stage IV-A (Ann Arbor Classification, 1988). The patient was admitted by the hematology team of the Hospital de Câncer de Barretos to start chemotherapy. Discussion: BL of the breast affects mainly young women, and its association with the pregnancy/lactation period is not unusual, which suggests a hormonal influence on its development. Secondary breast disease is more common, and differentiating primary and secondary lymphoma can be difficult. When associated with immunodeficiency, it is more frequent in patients infected by HIV, and less in individuals with other immunodeficiency causes. The breast lesion can be characterized by a painless nodule and possible systemic symptoms (sweating, fever, or weight loss). The main management of these cases consists of polychemotherapy, and the benefit of radiotherapy is unclear. Surgical treatments, such as mastectomy, are not indicated and are associated with worse survival. Conclusion: BL of the breast associated with immunodeficiency, concomitant with HIV infection, is an uncommon neoplasm that can progress to a poor prognosis. The appropriate and prompt diagnosis allows starting the best form of treatment and avoids unnecessary surgical procedures.
