ABSTRACT Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common disease in childhood and one of the most common causes of consultation in the pediatric emergency department. Its incidence ranges between 5% and 10% in children under 2 years old. Objective: To generate recommendations on the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of UTI in pediatric patients in Colombia. Methods: 15 questions of clinical interest in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of UTI in pediatric patients were formulated. A systematic review of the literature was carried out to identify the clinical practice guidelines (CPG) available in UTI, in order to use this evidence to answer the proposed questions and articulate the recommendations. Local and international tools were used to select and evaluate the CPGs. Information was retrieved from the selected guidelines, preliminary recommendations were compiled, and final recommendations were approved by expert consensus. Finally, the strength and direction of each recommendation was assessed. Results: A total of 4 CPGs were selected: American Academy of Pediatrics, Spanish Ministry of Health, McTaggart, and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. Final recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of UTI are presented in this paper. Conclusions: These recommendations will guide the teams to make clinical decisions regarding health care of pediatric patients with UTI in Colombia. This will help to improve health care and to generate policies for timely diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up in these patients.

Abstract Introduction: The numbers of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the pediatric population are low so far. There is limited information about the behavior of SARS-CoV-2 in a pediatric patient with chronic kidney disease. Objective: To formulate informed recommendations to the prevention, diagnosis, and management of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pediatric patients with kidney disease or acute kidney injury associated with COVID-19 in Colombia. Methodology: A rapid systematic review was performed in Embase and Pubmed databases and scientific societies, to answer questions prioritized by clinical experts in pediatric nephrology. The quality of the evidence was evaluated with validated tools according to the type of study. The preliminary recommendations were consulted by an expert group. The agreement was defined when approval was obtained from at least 70% of the experts consulted. Results: A response was obtained from ' 9 experts in pediatric nephrology in Colombia, who declared the conflict of interest before the consultation. The range of agreement for the recommendations ranged from 78.9% to '00%. The recommendations did not require a second consultation. Conclusion: The evidence-based recommendations for the management of a patient with kidney disease and COVID-19 in the Colombian context are presented.

Introducción. La púrpura de Henoch-Schönlein (PHS) es la vasculitis más frecuente en niños. Objetivo: conocer la presentación clínica y evolución de los pacientes con PHS que se han tratado en el hospital en los últimos 5 años. Material y métodos. Estudio retrospectivo en pacientes que acudieron al Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez, del 1 de enero de 2000 al 31 de diciembre de 2005, con diagnóstico de PHS. Resultados. Se encontraron 105 pacientes con una mediana de edad de 6 años. El tiempo promedio de seguimiento fue de 15 meses. Todos presentaron lesiones dérmicas, 49.5% dolor abdominal y 41% artritis; 45 (42.9%) pacientes manifestaron nefropatía, con un promedio de aparición de 4.5 meses después de las lesiones dérmicas. Sólo en 37.7% de los casos con nefropatía desaparecieron las alteraciones urinarias. Se realizó biopsia renal en 14 pacientes. La lesión histopatológica más frecuente fue el grado IIIA. La edad de presentación tuvo relación estadísticamente significativa con la presencia de nefritis, los mayores de 10 años tuvieron mayor incidencia de nefritis y los menores de 5 años menor incidencia (Chi cuadrada, P < 0.05). La incidencia global de insuficiencia renal crónica fue de 0.95%. Conclusión. La edad de presentación es un factor pronóstico para la evolución de la enfermedad. Si bien la púrpura es una vasculitis, la principal complicación a largo plazo es renal, por lo que el seguimiento de los pacientes debe ser supervisado por un nefrólogo pediatra.
Introduction. Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is the most frequent vasculitis in children. Objective: To describe the clinical presentation and clinical outcome in children with HSP treated in our hospital in the last 5 years. Material and methods. A retrospective study was performed in HSP patients diagnosed between January 1st 2001 and December 31st 2005. Results. HSP was diagnosed in 105 patients, median age 6 years old. All had the skin manifestations, 49.5% abdominal pain and 41% arthritis; 45 patients developed HSP nephritis (42.9%), mean presentation time was 4.5 months after HSP diagnosis. Renal biopsy was performed in 14 patients, and the most common histopathological finding was HSP nephritis grade III A. Age of onset older than 10 years was statistically significant for nephritis development (Chi Square < 0.05). Chronic renal insufficiency incidence was 0.95%. Conclusions. The main complication of HSP is nephritis. Follow-up should include evaluation by a pediatric nephrologist. Age of onset older than 10 years is an important risk factor for HSP nephritis.
