RESUMEN
El síndrome de Kartagener es una enfermedad hereditaria autosómica recesiva caracterizada por la asociación de discinesia ciliar primaria y la tríada situs inversus total, sinusitis crónicas y bronquiectasias. Su prevalencia varía en 1/15 000-1/30 000, pero se estima que muchos pacientes con discinesia ciliar primaria no han sido diagnosticados. Su presentación clínica es inespecífica y heterogénea, y no hay una única prueba gold standard para su diagnóstico. Esto, unido a las limitaciones y no disponibilidad de las pruebas, hace que el diagnóstico se retrase. Un diagnóstico y tratamiento adecuados de forma precoz modifican el pronóstico. En los últimos años, las sociedades han publicado algoritmos diagnósticos para pacientes con clínica sugestiva. Por ello, es importante una puesta al día y enfatizar en la necesidad de una sospecha clínica ante las manifestaciones clínicas de esta enfermedad. Se presenta a un recién nacido con este síndrome diagnosticado por estudio genético en un hospital secundario.
Kartagener Syndrome is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder characterized by primary ciliary dyskinesia and the triad of situs inversus viscerum, chronic sinus disease and bronchiectasis. Its prevalence varies from 1/15 000 to 1/30 000 but it is estimated that a lot of patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia have not been diagnosed as such. Its clinical presentation is non-specific and heterogeneous, and there is not a single, gold standard, diagnostic test. The diagnosis is often delayed because of these reasons and limitations and no availability of diagnostic tests. Early diagnosis and treatment change patient's prognosis. In addition, Scientific Societies have published recent diagnostic algorithm to evaluate the patient with suspected primary ciliary dyskinesia. Therefore, it is important to keep up to date with all the latest articles. We present the case of a newborn with this syndrome diagnosed by genetic analysis in a secondary care hospital.

BACKGROUND: Acute renal injury increases risk of death after cardiac surgery. The objective of the study was to evaluate the ability of the pediatric Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, End-Stage Renal Disease (pRIFLE) criteria to characterize the development of postoperative renal damage in children after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and to evaluate the relationship between the severity of kidney injury and mortality, pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) length of stay, and the duration of mechanical ventilation (MV). METHODS: In this retrospective study including children undergoing CPB surgery during a 3-year period in the PICU of a tertiary hospital, demographic, clinical, surgery-related, and postoperative clinical data were collected. Kidney damage was assessed with pRIFLE criteria. RESULTS: Four hundred and nine patients were included. Early acute kidney injury (AKI) was found in 82 patients (achieving categories Risk 44; Injury 16; Failure 22). Early AKI was associated with younger age (P = 0.010), longer CPB, deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) use, ICU stay >12 days, MV >4 days, and death (P < 0.001). Controlling the effect of age, CPB, DHCA use, previous cardiac surgeries, and Risk Adjustment in Congenital Heart Surgery Surgical Severity Score (RACHS-1), early AKI development proved to predict ICU stay >12 days [odds ratio (OR) 3.5; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.9-6.5, P < 0.001)] and need of MV >4 days (OR 5.1; 95% CI 2.6-10.2, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Early AKI when evaluated with the pRIFLE criteria can predict prolonged ICU stay, need of prolonged MV, and mortality.
