Resumen

Objetivo: determinar los niveles de citoquinas en el humor acuoso (AH) de pacientes colombianos con toxoplasmosis ocular activa (TO) y correlacionarlos con sus características clínicas. Métodos: se analizaron 27 citoquinas / quimiocinas en 15 muestras de AH (nueve pacientes con diagnóstico de OT confirmado biológicamente y seis controles que se sometieron a cirugía de cataratas). Las correlaciones se evaluaron entre los niveles de citocinas / quimiocinas, el tipo de respuesta inflamatoria (Th1, Th2, Th17, Treg) y las características clínicas. Resultados: la respuesta predominante de Th2 se relacionó con características clínicas más graves. La presencia de VEGF e IL-5 se relacionó con un mayor número de recurrencias. Los factores de crecimiento (VEGF, FGF, PDGF-β) se relacionaron con un mayor número de lesiones. Los pacientes infectados por cepas tipo I / III tenían un patrón de citocinas intraoculares particular. Conclusiones: la respuesta Th2 se relacionó con características clínicas más severas en pacientes infectados por cepas tipo I / III. IL-5 y VEGF se asociaron con recurrencias. Nos correlacionamos por primera vez, patrones específicos de citoquinas con características clínicas y con la cepa Toxoplasma infecciosa

abstract = "Purpose: To determine the cytokine levels in aqueous humor (AH) of Colombian patients with active ocular toxoplasmosis (OT), and to correlate them with their clinical characteristics. Methods: 27 Cytokines/chemokines were assayed in 15 AH samples (nine patients with diagnosis of OT biologically-confirmed and six controls that underwent cataract surgery). Correlations were assessed between cytokine/chemokine levels, type of inflammatory response (Th1, Th2, Th17, Treg), and clinical characteristics. Results: Th2 predominant response was related to more severe clinical features. The presence of VEGF and IL-5 was related to higher number of recurrences. Growth factors (VEGF, FGF, PDGF-β), were related to higher number of lesions. Patients infected by type-I/III strains had a particular intraocular cytokine-pattern. Conclusions: Th2 response was related to more severe clinical characteristics in patients infected by Type I/III strains. IL-5 and VEGF were associated with recurrences. We correlate for the first time, specific cytokine-patterns with clinical characteristics and with the infecting Toxoplasma strain. {\textcopyright} 2014 Elsevier Ltd.",
