          Abstract

          RESUMEN La enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII) es un espectro de enfermedades crónicas inmunomediadas que afectan tanto el tracto gastrointestinal, como otros sistemas extraintestinales, comportándose como una enfermedad sistémica. Los fenómenos tromboembólicos son una complicación frecuente en la EII, como consecuencia de los estados de hipercoagulabilidad que se asocian con la actividad de la enfermedad, y su aparición tiene un impacto negativo tanto en el pronóstico como en la sobrevida de los pacientes. Debido a ello, el control de la actividad inflamatoria de la EII es uno de los pilares en el control de los eventos tromboembólicos. Los medicamentos biológicos se asocian al control rápido del cuadro inflamatorio, sin embargo, siempre se discute el tema de seguridad para la reactivación de infecciones latentes, en particular tuberculosis. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 37 años que debutó con trombosis venosa profunda en el miembro inferior izquierdo y posteriormente con tromboembolismo pulmonar masivo. Luego de investigar la etiología y ampliar la historia clínica se le diagnosticó Enfermedad de Crohn (EC). Al realizar los estudios previos al uso de biológicos, las pruebas de PPD y quantiferon resultaron positivas, luego de la discusión del caso se decidió iniciar tratamiento con ustekinumab.

          ABSTRACT Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a spectrum of chronic immune-mediated diseases that affect the gastrointestinal tract and other extraintestinal systems, behaving as a systemic disease. Thromboembolic phenomena are a frequent complication in IBD, because of hypercoagulability states associated with disease activity, and their presence has a negative impact on prognosis and patient survival. Due to this, the control of the inflammatory activity of IBD is one of the pillars in the control of thromboembolic events. Biological drugs are associated with rapid control of the inflammatory process, however, the security profile for the reactivation of latent infections, particularly tuberculosis, is always discussed. We present the case of a 37-year-old patient who presented with deep vein thrombosis in the left lower limb and later with massive pulmonary thromboembolism. During his evaluation, he was diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD). When carrying out the studies prior to the use of biologics, PPD and quantiferon tests were positive. After discussing the case, we decided to start treatment with ustekinumab.

            Venous thromboembolism during active disease and remission in inflammatory bowel disease: a cohort study.

            Patients with inflammatory bowel disease who develop deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism often have active disease at the time of thromboembolism. We therefore aimed to quantify the risk of venous thromboembolism prospectively during different activity phases of inflammatory bowel disease. From the General Practice Research Database, we matched patients with prospectively recorded inflammatory bowel disease from November, 1987, until July, 2001 with up to five controls by age, sex, and general practice. A flare was defined as the period 120 days after a new corticosteroid prescription. We used Cox regression analysis with time-varying covariates to accommodate changes in the state of inflammatory bowel disease, and whether patients were at high risk of venous thromboembolism after hospitalisation. 13 756 patients with inflammatory bowel disease and 71 672 matched controls were included in the analysis, and of these 139 patients and 165 controls developed venous thromboembolism. Overall, patients with inflammatory bowel disease had a higher risk of venous thromboembolism than did controls (hazard ratio 3.4, 95% CI 2.7-4.3; p<0.0001; absolute risk 2.6 per 1000 per person-years). At the time of a flare, however, this increase in risk was much more prominent (8.4, 5.5-12.8; p<0.0001; 9.0 per 1000 person-years). This relative risk at the time of a flare was higher during non-hospitalised periods (15.8, 9.8-25.5; p<0.0001; 6.4 per 1000 person-years) than during hospitalised periods (3.2, 1.7-6.3; p=0.0006; 37.5 per 1000 person-years). Trials of primary prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism are warranted to find out whether this important complication can be prevented. National Association for Colitis and Crohn's Disease.

              Inflammatory bowel disease is a risk factor for recurrent venous thromboembolism.

              Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risk of a first venous thromboembolism (VTE), yet their risk of recurrent VTE is unknown. We performed a cohort study to determine the risk for recurrent VTE among patients with IBD compared with subjects without IBD. We assessed 2811 patients with IBD for a history of VTE, recruited from outpatient clinics at 14 referral centers (June 2006-December 2008). Patients with VTE before a diagnosis of IBD or those not confirmed to have VTE, cancer, or a VTE other than deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, were excluded. Recurrence rates were compared with 1255 prospectively followed patients without IBD that had a first unprovoked VTE (not triggered by trauma, surgery, or pregnancy). The primary end point was symptomatic, objectively confirmed, recurrent VTE after discontinuation of anticoagulation therapy after a first VTE. Overall, of 116 IBD patients who had a history of first VTE, 86 were unprovoked. The probability of recurrence 5 years after discontinuation of anticoagulation therapy was higher among patients with IBD than patients without IBD (33.4%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 21.8-45.0 vs 21.7%; 95% CI: 18.8-24.6; P = .01). After adjustment for potential confounders, IBD was an independent risk factor of recurrence (hazard ratio = 2.5; 95% CI: 1.4-4.2; P = .001). Patients with IBD are at an increased risk of recurrent VTE compared to patients without IBD. Copyright © 2010 AGA Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
