Resumen: Se presenta el caso de un chico de 14 años que acude a un Servicio de Urgencias hospitalario por presentar dolor mesotorácico y dificultad para respirar. En la radiografía de tórax se aprecia una condensación en el lóbulo superior derecho y serología IgM positiva para Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Inicialmente se diagnosticó de neumonía atípica y se trató con amoxicilina más claritromicina. Cuarenta y ocho horas después acude al centro de Atención Primaria (AP). En la historia clínica de AP figura el antecedente paterno de haber padecido una tuberculosis pleuropulmonar cinco años antes. El niño presentó en ese momento un Mantoux positivo con radiografía de tórax normal y fue tratado de forma profiláctica con isoniacida. Estos antecedentes llevan a plantear el diagnóstico de tuberculosis, repitiéndose el Mantoux y poniendo en marcha la petición de baciloscopias y cultivo para Mycobacterium tuberculosis, siendo ambos positivos. El tratamiento inicial fue sustituido por un tratamiento con cuatro fármacos antituberculosos. La valoración de la renovación de recetas por parte de la enfermera de AP cuestionó el correcto cumplimiento del tratamiento. Todo ello llevó a una mueva intervención del equipo de AP para informar, reforzar y responsabilizar a la familia acerca del correcto cumplimiento del tratamiento.
The authors present the case of a 14 years old boy attended in a hospital emergency room for thoracic pain and difficult breathing. The Rx shows a condensation in LSD and IgM serology positive for mycoplasma pneumoniae. Initially it was diagnosed with atypical pneumonia and was treated with amoxicillin and clarythromicin. Forty-eight hours later he attends the Health Primary Care Center. Primary care medical history contains the paternal antecedent of having suffered a pleuropulmonar tuberculosis five years earlier. The child presented a positive Mantoux with normal Rx at that time and he was treated with prophylactic isoniazid. These records raise the question of the potential diagnosis of tuberculosis, performing the mantoux test again and a smear and culture for mycobacterium tuberculosis, resulting both positive. The initial treatment was replaced by a treatment with four antituberculous drugs. The evaluation of the renewal of prescriptions by the primary care nurse questioned the correct treatment compliance. This led to an intervention of the primary care team to inform, strengthen and force the responsibility of the family about the correct treatment compliance.
