ABSTRACT
A screening of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in young pregnant women (≤25 years old) and their newborns was conducted. A total of 136 women were tested with urine samples in the immediate postpartum period. The prevalence was 18.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 11.9-24.9%) (25/136) and the rate of perinatal transmission was 35% (7/20). These results support the need for antenatal screening programs in high-risk women in Madrid (Spain).

La insuficiencia cardiaca es una patología poco frecuente en las consultas médicas pediátricas. Las formas en las que se expresa clínicamente esta incapacidad son muy diversas, sin embargo, en el paciente adulto suelen detectarse a través de síntomas clásicos como la disnea. En el caso del paciente pediátrico este espectro de presentación es mucho más amplio e inespecífico. El porcentaje de pacientes que no son correctamente diagnosticados en la primera consulta médica asciende hasta el 50%, y muchos de ellos reciben terapia antibiótica al haber sido etiquetado de infección bacteriana. Por ello presentamos el caso de un niño de tres años diagnosticado de insuficiencia cardiaca en nuestro servicio de urgencias pediátricas
Heart failure is an uncommon pathology in medical pediatric consultations. The forms in which this disability is clinically expressed are diverse, however, in the adult patient it is often detected through classic symptoms such as dyspnea. In the case of the pediatric patient this spectrum of presentation is much wider and non-specific. The percentage of patients who are not correctly diagnosed at the first medical consultation amounts to 50%, receiving many of them antibiotic therapy after having been labelled as bacterial infection. Therefore, we present the case of a three-year-old child diagnosed with heart failure in our pediatric emergency department

La mancha mongólica o melanocitosis dérmica es la lesión pigmentada más frecuente en el recién nacido. Típicamente se localiza en la región lumbosacra, siendo infrecuente encontrarla en otras localizaciones. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con una mancha mongólica en región distal de la pierna, maléolo externo y dorso del pie izquierdo
