    (2015) CAMARGO, Priscila Cilene Leon Bueno de; TEIXEIRA, Ricardo Henrique de Oliveira Braga; CARRARO, Rafael Medeiros; CAMPOS, Silvia Vidal; AFONSO JUNIOR, Jose Eduardo; COSTA, Andre Nathan; FERNANDES, Lucas Matos; ABDALLA, Luis Gustavo; SAMANO, Marcos Naoyuki; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo Manuel
    O transplante pulmonar é uma terapia bem estabelecida para pacientes com doença pulmonar avançada.A avaliação do candidato para o transplante é uma tarefa complexa e envolve uma equipe multidisciplinar que acompanha o paciente para além do período pós-operatório.O tempo médio atual em lista de espera para transplante pulmonar é de aproximadamente 18 meses no estado de São Paulo. Em 2014, dados da Associação Brasileira de Transplante de Órgãos mostram que 67 transplantes pulmonares foram realizados no Brasil e que 204 pacientes estavam na lista de espera para transplante pulmonar.O transplante pulmonar é principalmente indicado no tratamento de DPOC, fibrose cística, doença intersticial pulmonar, bronquiectasia não fibrocística e hipertensão pulmonar.Esta revisão abrangente teve como objetivos abordar os aspectos principais relacionados ao transplante pulmonar: indicações, contraindicações, avaliação do candidato ao transplante, avaliação do candidato doador, gestão do paciente transplantado e complicações maiores. Para atingirmos tais objetivos, utilizamos como base as diretrizes da Sociedade Internacional de Transplante de Coração e Pulmão e nos protocolos de nosso Grupo de Transplante Pulmonar localizado na cidade de São Paulo.

    Itraconazole Serum Trough Concentrations Using Oral Capsules for the Treatment of Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis: What is the Target?
    (2023) OLIVEIRA, Vitor Falcao de; TABORDA, Mariane; ARCIERI, Vitor Ciampone; KRUSCHEWSKY, Wdson Luis Lima; COSTA, Andre Nathan; DUARTE, Nilo Jose Coelho; ROMANO, Paschoalina; EBNER, Persio de Almeida Rezende; MAGRI, Adriana Satie Goncalves Kono; ABDALA, Edson; LEVIN, Anna S. S.; MAGRI, Marcello Mihailenko Chaves
    BackgroundIn regions where there is only itraconazole capsule as a therapeutic option for treatment of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA), measuring the serum concentrations becomes even more important for therapeutic success.ObjectiveEvaluate the initial itraconazole serum trough concentrations after the administration of oral capsule of itraconazole for the treatment of CPA.MethodsThe measurement was performed at least 7-days after initiation of therapy. The standard treatment at our institution was a 200 mg capsule every 12 h. We defined that an adequate serum trough concentration of itraconazole during treatment was 1-4 mg/L.ResultsThis study recruited 28 patients. The median value was 0.30 mg/L (IQR 0.01-0.70). Only 11% (n = 3) had adequate serum concentrations based on guideline recommendation. All patients with clinical deterioration had itraconazole serum levels <= 0.8 mg/L.ConclusionThe initial serum concentrations of itraconazole after capsule formulation administration were low. Increasing the dose should be considered when the itraconazole concentration is low, especially if it is <= 0.8 mg/L, and the patient presents with clinical deterioration. Larger studies are needed to evaluate the adequate concentrations recommended for CPA.

    Sensitivity of Antigen, Serology, and Microbiology Assays for Diagnosis of the Subtypes of Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis at a Teaching Hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil
    (2023) OLIVEIRA, Vitor Falcao de; VIANA, Joshua Araujo; SAWAMURA, Marcio Valente Yamada; MAGRI, Adriana Satie Goncalves Kono; COSTA, Andre Nathan; ABDALA, Edson; MARIANI, Alessandro Wasum; BENARD, Gil; MAGRI, Marcello Mihailenko Chaves
    Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is divided into five subtypes. The diagnosis of CPA is complicated due to poor sensitivity of the laboratory tests. Diagnostic performance of different antigen, serological, and microbiologi-cal methods in subtypes of CPA is unknown. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance in different subtypes of CPA. A total of 91 participants with CPA were included, and the study was performed at Hospital das Clinicas of University of Sao Paulo. Bronchoalveolar lavage galactomannan (73%, 11/15), serology by immunodiffu-sion test (81%, 61/75), and histology (78%, 39/50) had the best sensitivity. The counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE) titers had a significant statistical difference between the CPA subtypes (P < 0.001), in which the forms chronic fibrosing pulmonary aspergillosis (CFPA) and subacute invasive aspergillosis (SAIA) had higher titers: 1/64 (interquartile range [IQR]: 1/32-1/256) and 1/64 (1/32-1/128).C-reactive protein generally presented lower values (median 15 mg/L, IQR: 6-33), with higher values in SAIA and lower values for Aspergillus nodule. Overall, we found a low diagnostic sensitivity of current tests. Regarding the CPA subtypes, we did not find great differences in the performance of the tests, but it is observed that the inflammatory markers and CIE titers tend to be higher in forms of the more extensive lung parenchyma involvement, such as SAIA and CFPA.

    (2017) SHIKANAI-YASUDA, Maria Aparecida; MENDES, Rinaldo Poncio; COLOMBO, Arnaldo Lopes; QUEIROZ-TELLES, Flavio de; KONO, Adriana Satie Goncalves; PANIAGO, Anamaria M. M.; NATHAN, Andre; VALLE, Antonio Carlos Francisconi do; BAGAGLI, Eduardo; BENARD, Gil; FERREIRA, Marcelo Simao; TEIXEIRA, Marcus de Melo; SILVA-VERGARA, Mario Leon; PEREIRA, Ricardo Mendes; CAVALCANTE, Ricardo de Souza; HAHN, Rosane; DURLACHER, Rui Rafael; KHOURY, Zarifa; CAMARGO, Zoilo Pires de; MORETTI, Maria Luiza; MARTINEZ, Roberto
    Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic fungal disease occurring in Latin America that is associated with rural environments and agricultural activities. However, the incidence and prevalence of paracoccidiodomycosis is underestimated because of the lack of compulsory notification. If paracoccidiodomycosis is not diagnosed and treated early and adequately, the endemic fungal infection could result in serious sequelae. While the Paracoccidioides brasiliensis (P. brasiliensis) complex has been known to be the causal agent of paracoccidiodomycosis, a new species, Paracoccidioides lutzii (P. lutzii), has been reported in Rondonia, where the disease has reached epidemic levels, and in the Central West and Para. Accurate diagnoses and availability of antigens that are reactive with the patients' sera remain significant challenges. Therefore, the present guidelines aims to update the first Brazilian consensus on paracoccidioidomycosis by providing evidence-based recommendations for bedside patient management. This consensus summarizes etiological, ecoepidemiological, molecular epidemiological, and immunopathological data, with emphasis on clinical, microbiological, and serological diagnosis and management of clinical forms and sequelae, as well as in patients with comorbidities and immunosuppression. The consensus also includes discussion of outpatient treatments, severe disease forms, disease prevalence among special populations and resource-poor settings, a brief review of prevention and control measures, current challenges and recommendations.

    Experience of Lung Transplantation in Patients with Lymphangioleiomyomatosis at a Brazilian Reference Centre
    (2017) BALDI, Bruno Guedes; SAMANO, Marcos Naoyuki; CAMPOS, Silvia Vidal; OLIVEIRA, Martina Rodrigues de; AFONSO JUNIOR, Jose Eduardo; CARRARO, Rafael Medeiros; TEIXEIRA, Ricardo Henrique Oliveira Braga; MINGUINI, Isabela Pasqualini; BURLINA, Roni; PATO, Eduardo Zinoni Silva; CARVALHO, Carlos Roberto Ribeiro; COSTA, Andre Nathan
    Lung transplantation (LT) is the standard of care for patients with advanced lung diseases, including lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). LAM accounts for only 1% of all LTs performed in the international registry. As a result, the global experience, including the use of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors before and after LT in LAM, is still limited. We conducted a retrospective review of all LAM patients who underwent LT at our centre between 2003 and 2016. Pre- and post-transplant data were assessed. Eleven women with LAM underwent LT, representing 3.3% of all procedures. Ten (91%) patients underwent double-LT. The mean age at diagnosis was 39 +/- 6 years and the mean FEV1 before LT was 28 +/- 14%. Only one patient underwent pleurodesis for recurrent pneumothorax. Pulmonary hypertension was confirmed in 3 (27%) patients. Four (36%) patients received sirolimus preoperatively; three of them received it until the day of LT, and there was no occurrence of bronchial anastomotic dehiscence after the procedure. Four patients (36%) received mTOR inhibitors post-transplant. The median follow-up from LT was 44 months. There were 3 deaths (27%) during the study and survival probabilities at 1, 3, and 5 years after LT were, 90, 90, and 77%, respectively. This data reinforces the role of LT for LAM patients with end-stage disease. The use of sirolimus seems to be safe before LT and the occurrence of complications after LT, including those LAM-related, should be continuously monitored.

    Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema: an increasingly recognized condition
    (2014) DIAS, Olivia Meira; BALDI, Bruno Guedes; COSTA, Andre Nathan; CARVALHO, Carlos Roberto Ribeiro
    Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) has been increasingly recognized in the literature. Patients with CPFE are usually heavy smokers or former smokers with concomitant lower lobe fibrosis and upper lobe emphysema on chest HRCT scans. They commonly present with severe breathlessness and low DLCO, despite spirometry showing relatively preserved lung volumes. Moderate to severe pulmonary arterial hypertension is common in such patients, who are also at an increased risk of developing lung cancer. Unfortunately, there is currently no effective treatment for CPFE. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge of the pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, and prognostic factors of CPFE. Given that most of the published data on CPFE are based on retrospective analysis, more studies are needed in order to address the role of emphysema and its subtypes; the progression of fibrosis/emphysema and its correlation with inflammation; treatment options; and prognosis.

    Psychological criteria for contraindication in lung transplant candidates: a five-year study
    (2015) HOJAIJ, Elaine Marques; ROMANO, Bellkiss Wilma; COSTA, André Nathan; AFONSO JUNIOR, Jose Eduardo; CAMARGO, Priscila Cilene Leon Bueno de; CARRARO, Rafael Medeiros; CAMPOS, Silvia Vidal; SAMANO, Marcos Naoyuki; TEIXEIRA, Ricardo Henrique de Oliveira Braga
    Lung transplantation presents a wide range of challenges for multidisciplinary teams that manage the care of the recipients. Transplant teams should perform a thorough evaluation of transplant candidates, in order to ensure the best possible post-transplant outcomes. That is especially true for the psychologist, because psychological issues can arise at any point during the perioperative period. The objective of our study was to evaluate the psychological causes of contraindication to waiting list inclusion in a referral program for lung transplantation. We retrospectively analyzed data on psychological issues presented by lung transplant candidates, in order to understand these matters in our population and to reflect upon ways to improve the selection process.

    Brazilian initial experience with lung transplantation due to irreversible lung fibrosis post-COVID-19 in a national reference center: a cohort study
    (2022) REIS, Flavio Pola dos; FERNANDES, Lucas Matos; ABDALLA, Luis Gustavo; CAMPOS, Silvia Vidal; CAMARGO, Priscila Cilene Leon Bueno de; SANTOS, Samuel Lucas dos; AGUIAR, Ivana Teixeira de; PIRES, Juliana Patricia; COSTA, Andre Nathan; CARRARO, Rafael Medeiros; TEIXEIRA, Ricardo Henrique de Oliveira Braga; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo Manuel
    BACKGROUND: Lung transplantation (LTx) has been discussed as an option for treating irreversible lung fibrosis post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), in selected cases. OBJECTIVES: To report on the initial experience and management of end-stage lung disease due to COVID-19 at a national center reference in Brazil. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cohort study conducted at a national reference center for lung transplantation. METHODS: Medical charts were reviewed regarding patients'demographics and pre-COVID-19 characteristics, post-LTx due to COVID-19. RESULTS: Between March 2020 and September 2021, there were 33 cases of LTx. During this period, we evaluated 11 cases of severe COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that were potentially candidates for LTx. Among these, LTx was only indicated for three patients ( 9.1%). All of these patients were on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ( ECMO), and the procedure that they underwent was central venoarterial ECMO. All three patients were still alive after the first 30 postoperative days. However, patient #1 and patient #2 subsequently died due to fungal sepsis on the 47th and 52nd postoperative days, respectively. Patient #3 was discharged on the 30th postoperative day. CONCLUSIONS: LTx is feasible among these complex patients. Survival over the first 30 days was 100%, and this favors surgical feasibility. Nonetheless, these were critically ill patients.

    IMPORTANCE Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with substantial mortality and use of health care resources. Dexamethasone use might attenuate lung injury in these patients. OBJECTIVE To determine whether intravenous dexamethasone increases the number of ventilator-free days among patients with COVID-19-associated ARDS. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Multicenter, randomized, open-label, clinical trial conducted in 41 intensive care units (ICUs) in Brazil. Patients with COVID-19 and moderate to severe ARDS, according to the Berlin definition, were enrolled from April 17 to June 23, 2020. Final follow-up was completed on July 21, 2020. The trial was stopped early following publication of a related study before reaching the planned sample size of 350 patients. INTERVENTIONS Twenty mg of dexamethasone intravenously daily for 5 days, 10 mg of dexamethasone daily for 5 days or until ICU discharge, plus standard care (n = 151) or standard care alone (n = 148). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was ventilator-free days during the first 28 days, defined as being alive and free from mechanical ventilation. Secondary outcomes were all-cause mortality at 28 days, clinical status of patients at day 15 using a 6-point ordinal scale (ranging from 1, not hospitalized to 6, death), ICU-free days during the first 28 days, mechanical ventilation duration at 28 days, and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores (range, 0-24, with higher scores indicating greater organ dysfunction) at 48 hours, 72 hours, and 7 days. RESULTS A total of 299 patients (mean [SD] age, 61 [14] years; 37% women) were enrolled and all completed follow-up. Patients randomized to the dexamethasone group had a mean 6.6 ventilator-free days (95% CI, 5.0-8.2) during the first 28 days vs 4.0 ventilator-free days (95% CI, 2.9-5.4) in the standard care group (difference, 2.26; 95% CI, 0.2-4.38; P =.04). At 7 days, patients in the dexamethasone group had a mean SOFA score of 6.1 (95% CI, 5.5-6.7) vs 7.5 (95% CI, 6.9-8.1) in the standard care group (difference, -1.16; 95% CI, -1.94 to -0.38; P = .004). There was no significant difference in the prespecified secondary outcomes of all-cause mortality at 28 days, ICU-free days during the first 28 days, mechanical ventilation duration at 28 days, or the 6-point ordinal scale at 15 days. Thirty-three patients (21.9%) in the dexamethasone group vs 43 (29.1%) in the standard care group experienced secondary infections, 47 (31.1%) vs 42 (28.3%) needed insulin for glucose control, and 5 (3.3%) vs 9 (6.1%) experienced other serious adverse events. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Among patients with COVID-19 and moderate or severe ARDS, use of intravenous dexamethasone plus standard care compared with standard care alone resulted in a statistically significant increase in the number of ventilator-free days (days alive and free of mechanical ventilation) over 28 days.
