Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Trombastenia de Glanzmann (TG) é uma doença autossômica recessivamente hereditária das plaquetas. Não há nenhum tratamento específico. A transfusão de plaquetas é atualmente o tratamento padrão quando o sangramento não responde a medidas locais e/ou a medicamentos antifibrinolíticos, podendo, entretanto, resultar em aloimunização. O fator VII recombinante ativado (rFVIIa) pode ser usado para evitar a transfusão recorrente de plaquetas. RELATO DE CASO: Apresentamos um tratamento precoce com dose baixa de rFVIIa associada à transfusão de plaquetas em um caso pediátrico (cinco anos de idade), com diagnóstico de TG e apresentando sangramento prolongado durante adenoidectomia eletiva. Uma dose total de 1.200 mg (60 µg.kg-1) de rFVIIa obteve sucesso em estancar o sangramento, o que pode ser aceito como uma dose baixa. CONCLUSÕES: Relatos de casos podem encorajar o uso de tratamento precoce com baixas doses de rFVIIa em hemorragias graves que não estacam a despeito da transfusão de plaquetas e na prevenção de sangramento em procedimentos cirúrgicos em pacientes com TG. Estudos adicionais são necessários para definir a dose mínima eficaz. Portanto, as tentativas para determinar a dose eficaz mais baixa desse composto devem ser incentivadas consideando o resultado deste caso em face de restrições financeiras no sistema de saúde.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT) is an autosomal recessively inherited platelet disorder. There is not any specific treatment. Platelet transfusion is currently the standard treatment when bleeding does not respond to local measures and/or antifibrinolytic treatment, although it may result in alloimmunization. Recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) might be used to avoid recurrent platelet transfusion. CASE REPORT: We present early treatment with low-dose rFVIIa additional to platelet transfusion in a 5-year-old pediatric case with diagnosis of GT who developed prolonged bleeding under an elective adenoidectomy surgery. A total dose of 1,200 µg (60 µg.kg-1) rFVIIa could successfully stop bleeding, what can be accepted as low dose usage. CONCLUSIONS: Such case reports may encourage the use of early treatment with low doses of rFVIIa in severe bleeds that did not stop despite of platelet transfusion, as well as in preventing bleeding in surgical procedures in patients with GT. Actually, additional studies are needed to define the minimal effective dose and attempts to determine the lowest effective dose may be encouraged by the result of this case, considering financial restrictions in the health care system.
