RESUMO

Objetivos: El uso del inhibidor mTOR sirolimus ha supuesto unavance en el tratamiento de pacientes con anomalías vasculares complicadas. El objetivo de este estudio es presentar nuestra serie de pacientespediátricos con anomalías vasculares tratados con sirolimus oral y haceruna revisión de la literatura al respecto. Material y métodos: Se realizó un análisis retrospectivo de lospacientes con anomalías vasculares complicadas tratados con sirolimusoral en nuestro centro desde el año 2016. La dosis inicial utilizada fuede 0,8 mg/m2 cada 12 horas y el rango terapéutico de 5-15 ng/ml. Todos los pacientes recibieron profilaxis con trimetoprim-sulfametoxazol. Resultados: Se incluyeron seis niños, tres varones y tres mujeres, con una edad media al inicio del tratamiento de 9,5 años. Trespresentaban una malformación linfática en cabeza y cuello, dos unamalformación venosa en miembro inferior y la última una malformación combinada linfática-venosa a nivel toracoabdominal. Todos habíanrecibido múltiples tratamientos previos sin mejoría. Tras el inicio desirolimus, cinco pacientes mejoraron clínicamente (tiempo medio 3,6meses) y cuatro radiológicamente (tiempo medio 6,6 meses). Se registraron efectos adversos leves y transitorios en tres casos. Actualmente,cinco pacientes continúan con el tratamiento. Conclusiones: El sirolimus oral es un tratamiento eficaz y seguroen pacientes con anomalías vasculares complicadas.

Objective: Sirolimus mTOR inhibitor represents a major advancein the treatment of patients with complicated vascular abnormalities.The objective of this study was to present our series of pediatric patientswith vascular abnormalities treated with oral sirolimus, and to conducta review of the relevant literature. Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis of patients withcomplicated vascular abnormalities treated with oral sirolimus in ourhealthcare facility from 2016 was carried out. Initial dosage was 0.8 mg/m 2 every 12 hours, and therapeutic range was 5-15 ng/ml. All patientsreceived trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole prophylaxis. Results: 6 children –3 boys and 3 girls– with a mean age of 9.5years at treatment initiation were included. 3 of them had head and necklymphatic malformation, 2 had lower limb venous malformation, and 1had combined lymphatic-venous malformation at the thoracoabdominal level. They all had received multiple previous treatments withoutimprovement. Following sirolimus initiation, 5 patients had clinicalimprovement (mean time: 3.6 months) and 4 had radiological improvement (mean time: 6.6 months). Mild and transitory adverse effects werenoted in the 3 cases. Today, 5 patients remain under treatment. Conclusions: Oral sirolimus is an effective and safe treatment inpatients with complicated vascular abnormalities. Our results supportsirolimus use in lymphatic and venous malformations in which previoustreatments have failed, with a good symptomatic and, to a lesser extent,radiological response.(AU)

RESUMO

This is the report of an EBV+Leishmanial co-infection. The patient developed hemophagocytic syndrome (HLH) and was treated with the standard HLH-2004 protocol. However, PCR in bone marrow discovered this secondary cause for HLH. In endemic countries, visceral leishmaniasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis even in EBV-related HLH, as chemotherapy toxicity may be avoided.

RESUMO

We present the nutritional and pharmacological management of a 2-year-old girl with a severe form of propionic acidaemia and a genitourinary embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. This association has not been described before, nor the utilization of chemotherapy in patients with propionic acidaemia.The patient is a girl with neonatal onset of propionic acidaemia, homozygous for the c.2041-2924del3889 mutation in PCCA gene. At 23 months of age she was diagnosed with genitourinary embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Conservative surgery, brachytherapy and nine cycles of chemotherapy with iphosphamide, vincristine and actinomycin were recommended by oncologists. Due to the possibility that the child could present decompensations, we elaborated three different courses of treatment: when the patient was stable (treatment 1), intermittent bolus feeding through gastrostomy, containing 70 kcal/kg/day and 1.4 g/kg/day of total protein (0.6 g/kg/day of natural protein and 0.8 g/kg/day of amino acid-based formula) was prescribed; on the chemotherapy-days (treatment 2), diet consisted on continuous feeding, with the same energy and amino acid-based formula but half of natural protein intake; in case of decompensation (treatment 3), we increased by 10% the energy intake, and completely stopped natural protein in the diet but maintaining the amino acid-based formula. On chemotherapy- days carnitine was increased from 100 mg/kg/day to 150 mg/kg/day, and N-carbamylglutamate was added.Through the 7 months with chemotherapy the patient did not suffer decompensations, while she maintained good nutritional status.Enteral continuous feeding by gastrostomy, amino acid-based formula, and preventive use of N-carbamylglutamate during chemotherapy-days are the principal measures we propose in these situations.

RESUMO

El dolor musculoesquelético es una consulta común en la infancia, y su etiología generalmente es banal. Sin embargo, hay que tener presente que los procesos neoplásicos pueden causar este tipo de síntoma. De hecho, 4 de las 9 leucemias diagnosticadas en nuestro hospital entre noviembre de 2008 y julio de 2009 se iniciaron con dolor musculoesquelético. Por este motivo, presentamos los casos de leucemia y revisamos los distintos parámetros a tener en cuenta para sospechar y realizar una detección precoz de estos procesos, ya que esto supone una mejoría importante del pronóstico (AU)


Musculoskeletal pain is a common complaint in paediatrics usually due to benign diseases. Nevertheless neoplasms, particularly acute leukaemia, must be considered in the differential diagnosis. During the last 9 months 4 of the 9 patients diagnosed with acute leukaemia at our hospital presented with a limp, arthralgias, lumbar or bony pain. We describe these cases and review the clinical and analytical parameters that help to differentiate benign pain from that associated with a malignant disease. The early detection of these processes may represent a significant improvement in their prognosis (AU)

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare the antipyretic effectiveness of ibuprofen and paracetamol and to evaluate the possible influence of patients' sex, weight, height and underlying disease on effectiveness. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 166 children with fever, defined as a temperature equal to or above 38 degrees C, were enrolled. Of these, 80 were given paracetamol at a dose of 15 mg per kg and 86 were given 7 mg of ibuprofen per kg. Temperature was recorded at 60, 120,180 and 240 minutes after drug administration. Data were statistically analyzed, including analysis of paired data. RESULTS: Ninety percent of the children became afebrile at some time during the study with both paracetamol and ibuprofen. Seventy-four percent of the patients remained afebrile 4 hours after drug administration. The mean temperatures obtained with ibuprofen versus paracetamol were 37.66 +/- 0.73 vs 37.8 +/- 0.65, p = 0.22 one hour after drug administration; 37.09 +/- 0.83 vs 37.29 +/- 0.71, p = 0.14 two hours after drug administration; 37.12 +/- 1.05 vs 37.28 +/- 0.87, p = 0.64 three hours after drug administration; and 37.40 +/- 1.12 vs 37.46 +/- 1.00, p = 0.72 four hours after drug administration. The maximum rate of temperature decrease was achieved during the first 60 minutes after drug administration (-1.32 +- 0.83 with ibuprofen vs -1.09 +/- 0.77 with paracetamol, p = 0.10). In children aged between 5 and 12 years, ibuprofen achieved significantly lower temperatures than paracetamol (38.00 +/- 0.65 vs 37.45 +/- 0.43, p = 0.02 at 1 hour; 36.71 +/- 0.66 vs 37.60 +/- 0.93, p = 0.01 at 2 hours; 36.80 +/- 0.79 vs 37.67 +/- 1.12, p = 0.03 at 3 hours). Analysis by weight, height or underlying disease revealed no significant differences. CONCLUSIONS: Both ibuprofen and paracetamol proved to be successful in reducing temperature. The effectiveness of ibuprofen and paracetamol was similar, except in children aged more than 5 years old, in whom ibuprofen was more effective. Weight, sex and underlying disease had no influence on effectiveness.

RESUMO

Objetivo: El objetivo del estudio es analizar comparativamente la eficacia de ibuprofeno y paracetamol, y evaluar la posible repercusión sobre la misma de sexo, peso, talla y enfermedad subyacente. Pacientes y métodos: Se recogieron los datos de filiación de 166 niños con temperatura axilar igual o superior a 38 °C. Se administraron 15 mg/kg de paracetamol a 80 de ellos y 7 mg/kg de ibuprofeno a 86. Se recogió después la temperatura que presentaban a los 60, 120, 180 y 240 min de su administración. Con estos datos se realizó un análisis estadístico, incluyendo un análisis de datos apareados. Resultados: Ibuprofeno y paracetamol consiguieron dejar afebriles en algún momento del estudio al 90 % de los niños. El 74% de los pacientes permanecieron afebriles 4 h después de administrarlos. En la muestra global, las temperaturas obtenidas con ibuprofeno frente a paracetamol fueron: 37,66 +/- 0,73 frente a 37,80 +/- 0,65 (p = 0,22) a la hora de su administración; 37,09 +/- 0,83 frente a 37,29 +/- 0,71 a las 2 h; 37,12 +/- 1,05 frente a 37,28 +/- 0,87 (p = 0,64) a las 3 h; 37,40 +/- 1,12 frente a 37,46 +/- 1,00 (p = 0,72) a las 4 h. La máxima velocidad de descenso se alcanzó durante los primeros 60 min (–1,32 +/- 0,83 para ibuprofeno frente a –1,09 +/- 0,77 con paracetamol; p = 0,10). En cuanto al factor edad, en los niños de edad comprendida entre 5 y 12 años se lograron temperaturas significativamente menores con ibuprofeno que con paracetamol (38,00 +/- 0,65 frente a 37,45 +/- 0,43 [p = 0,02] en la primera hora; 36,71 +/- 0,66 frente a 37,60 +/- 0,93 [p = 0,01] en la segunda hora; 36,80 +/- 0,79 frente a 37,67 +/- 1,12 [p = 0,03] en la tercera hora). El análisis de datos en función del peso, sexo y enfermedad no mostró diferencias significativas. Conclusiones: Ibuprofeno y paracetamol demostraron ser efectivos a la hora de descender la temperatura. Ambos fármacos mostraron una eficacia antitérmica similar, salvo en los niños mayores de 5 años, donde se demostró mayor eficacia con ibuprofeno. Peso, sexo y enfermedad de base no determinaron diferencias de eficacia

RESUMO

Antecedentes: Chlamydia trachomatis es un patógeno responsable, en el hombre, de epididimitis, prostatitis, etc., y en la mujer de uretritis, endocervicitis y enfermedad inflamatoria pélvica, entre otras enfermedades. Durante la época pediátrica suele cursar con conjuntivitis y afectación de vías respiratorias bajas, que ocasionalmente puede requerir ingreso hospitalario. Objetivo: Llamar la atención sobre esta enfermedad que suele pasar desapercibida y que puede llegar a ser potencialmente grave. Métodos: Revisión retrospectiva de las historias clínicas de lactantes menores de 6 meses con manifestaciones clínicas de infección respiratoria de vías bajas y detección del antígeno de C. trachomatis por enzimoinmunoanálisis. Resultados: Se detectaron 18 casos durante los años 1993 a 2002, precisando ingreso 17 y vigilancia en la unidad de cuidados intensivos pediátricos (UCIP) un total de cinco. La estancia media fue de 9,6 días. Tres pacientes eran inmigrantes. La edad media de aparición fue de 6,6 semanas. Presentaron: pausas de apnea 5 sujetos. En 5 lactantes había infiltrados intersticiales en la radiografía de tórax. El tratamiento definitivo en 16 de los pacientes fue eritromicina, con buena evolución en todos los casos. Conclusiones: Aunque la infección respiratoria de vías bajas por C. trachomatis suele tratarse de forma ambulatoria, en ocasiones puede llegar a requerir ingreso hospitalario e incluso estancia en la UCIP. Esta infección debería descartarse en lactantes menores de 6 meses con síntomas compatibles y en los que no se hallen otros gérmenes que justifiquen el cuadro (AU)
