English to Spanish: Tuberculosis. Clinical features General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - English The classic clinical features of pulmonary tuberculosis include chronic cough, sputum production, appetite loss, weight loss, fever, night sweats, and hemoptysis. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis occurs in 10 to 42% of patients, depending on race or ethnic background, age, presence or absence of underlying disease, genotype of the M. tuberculosis strain, and immune status. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis can affect any organ in the body, has varied and protean clinical manifestations, and therefore requires a high index of clinical suspicion.
HIV coinfection poses special challenges to clinical management in patients with active tuberculosis. The risk of active tuberculosis increases soon after infection with HIV, and the manifestations of pulmonary tuberculosis at this stage are similar to those in HIV-negative persons. At CD4 counts of less than 200 per cubic millimeter, the presentation of tuberculosis may be atypical, with subtle infiltrates, pleural effusions, hilar lymphadenopathy, and other forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in as many as 50% of patients. At CD4 counts of less than 75 per cubic millimeter, pulmonary findings may be absent, and disseminated tuberculosis, manifested as a nonspecific, chronic febrile illness with widespread organ involvement and mycobacteremia, is more frequent, with high early mortality; polyclonal disease has also been described. Such cases may be mistakenly diagnosed as other infectious diseases and are often identified only on autopsy.
Translation - Spanish Las características clínicas típicas de la tuberculosis pulmonar incluyen tos crónica, producción de esputo, pérdida de apetito, pérdida de peso, fiebre, sudores nocturnos y hemoptisis. La tuberculosis extrapulmonar ocurre entre un 10 y un 42% de los pacientes, según la raza o los antecedentes étnicos, la edad, la presencia o ausencia de una enfermedad subyacente, el genotipo de la cepa de la M. tuberculosis y el estado inmune; afecta a cualquier órgano del cuerpo; tiene manifestaciones clínicas proteicas y variadas y, por lo tanto, requiere de un índice alto de sospecha clínica.
La coinfección por el VIH plantea desafíos especiales para el manejo clínico en pacientes con tuberculosis activa. El riesgo de esta tuberculosis aumenta poco después de que el paciente contrae el VIH, y las manifestaciones de tuberculosis pulmonar, en esta etapa, son similares a las de personas con VIH negativo. En recuentos de menos de 200 CD4 por milímetro cúbico, la tuberculosis puede ser atípica con infiltrados leves, derrames pleurales, linfadenopatía hiliar y otras formas de tuberculosis extrapulmonar en hasta un 50% de los pacientes. En recuentos de menos de 75 CD4 por milímetro cúbico, los hallazgos pulmonares pueden estar ausentes, y, la tuberculosis diseminada, que se manifiesta como una enfermedad febril crónica inespecífica, con compromiso orgánico generalizado y microbacteriemia, es más frecuente con mortalidad temprana alta; también se ha descrito la enfermedad policlonal. Tales casos pueden diagnosticarse de manera errónea como otras enfermedades infecciosas y, con frecuencia, identificarse solo en una autopsia.
