RESUMO

Introducción: El raquitismo nutricional es una enfermedad considerada infrecuente en los países desarrollados, y el aumento en su incidencia se relaciona con el incremento de la inmigración en nuestro medio. Debido al incremento de esta patología en España, debemos aumentar nuestra sospecha diagnóstica y ser capaces de detectarla aún cuando se presente con síntomas poco usuales. Objetivo: Se presentan 2 casos clínicos de lactantes que debutaron con hipocalcemia sintomática y que fueron diagnosticados de raquitismo carencial. Caso 1. Lactante de 6 meses que presenta episodios de convulsiones tónicas e irritabilidad, sin otros hallazgos en la exploración física, constatándose una hipocalcemia secundaria a un raquitismo carencial. Caso 2. Lactante de 7 meses que realiza episodios de hipertonía generalizada, estridor inspiratorio e irritabilidad, con el resto de la exploración física normal, en el que también se constata hipocalcemia secundaria a raquitismo. Discusión: El concepto antiguo de que el raquitismo es una entidad rara en nuestro medio nos lleva muchas veces a descartar esta patología, retrasando el diagnóstico y el tratamiento. Debemos revisar nuestros conceptos y ser capaces de detectar síntomas frecuentes y también los poco usuales del raquitismo nutricional (AU)


Introduction: The nutritional rickets is considered an uncommon disease in developed countries, but the increase in its incidence appears to be related to the increase in the number of immigrants in these countries. Thus in Spain, we must increase our diagnostic suspicion of this disease and be able to detect it, even when it appears with unusual symptoms. We describe two clinical cases of breast-fed babies who presented with symptomatic hypocalcaemia and were diagnosed with rickets. Case 1. A six month-old breast-fed baby who had episodes of tonic seizures and irritability, with no other findings in the physical examination, and diagnosed with secondary hypocalcaemia due to nutritional rickets. Case 2. A seven month-old breast-fed baby who had generalised hypertonia, stridor and irritability, with a normal physical examination, and also diagnosed with hypocalcaemia secondary to rickets. Discussion: The old concept that rickets is a rare condition in our country means that we often tend to rule out this pathology, thus delaying the diagnosis and the treatment. We must review our concepts in order to be able to detect the common and also the unusual symptoms of nutritional rickets (AU)

RESUMO

Objetivos: Determinar las características clínicas de los pacientes diagnosticados de gripe con una prueba de detección rápida y constatar las diferencias de actuación en Urgencias con respecto a los pacientes con resultado negativo. Métodos: Revisión de las historias clínicas de aquellos pacientes a los que se solicitó una prueba de detección rápida para virus Influenza en aspirado nasofaríngeo. Resultados: Se solicitó el test en 142 pacientes (mediana de edad: 2,4 meses). Se obtuvo un resultado positivo en 63 (44,4%). La indicación principal fue fiebre asociada a clínica respiratoria (62,7%), seguida de fiebre sin foco (33,8%). De todos los pacientes con gripe sólo uno presentó un urocultivo positivo; los hemocultivos realizados y los cultivos de LCR fueron negativos. Al comparar los pacientes diagnosticados de gripe con aquéllos sin gripe no se detectaron diferencias en cuanto al sexo, edad, presencia de fiebre alta o de síntomas respiratorios. Por el contrario, los pacientes con gripe tenían menos dificultad respiratoria (1,6% vs 17,7%) y existía con más frecuencia ambiente epidémico en el domicilio (54% vs 31,6%) (p<0,01). A los pacientes con test de diagnóstico rápido positivo se les practicaron menos radiografías de tórax (30,2% vs 51,9%) (p<0,01), ingresaron menos (19% vs 57%) (p<0,001) y recibieron menos antibiótico (14,3% vs 40,5%) (p<0,001). En el subgrupo de 25 pacientes menores de 1 mes no se encontraron diferencias en ninguno de los parámetros estudiados. Conclusiones: Los pacientes con test positivo para Influenza presentan escasas características clínicas diferenciales. Disponer de técnicas de diagnóstico rápido para la gripe en Urgencias cambia el manejo diagnóstico- terapéutico en los niños de 1 a 36 meses con fiebre (AU)


Objectives: To determine the clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with influenza with a rapid test and to study the different management in the Emergency Room with respect to the patients with a negative Influenza test. Methods: Retrospective revision of charts of those patients to whom a test of rapid detection for Influenza was ordered. Results: The test was ordered in 142 patients (median of age of 2.4 months). A positive result for the virus was obtained in 63 patients (44.4%). The main indication for the test was fever with respiratory symptoms (62.7%), followed of fever without source (33.8%). Only one patient with influenza had a positive urine culture; all the blood cultures and CSF cultures were negative. When comparing the patients with a positive test with those with a negative test we do not detect differences in sex, age, high fever or respiratory symptoms. On the other way, the patients with influenza had less respiratory distress (1.6% vs. 17.7%) and more epidemic context at home (54% vs. 31.6%) (<0.01). Patients with a positive test had a lower incidence of admission (19% vs. 57%), received less chest x-rays (30.2% vs. 51.9%) and less antibiotics (14.3% vs. 40.5%). In the sub-group of 25 patients younger than 1 month we did not find any differences. Conclusions: Patients with a positive Influenza test present small clinical differences with respect to those with a negative test. Rapid Influenza test in the Emergency setting modifies the classic management of febrile children aged 1 to 36 months (AU)
