RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to present the current views of a diverse group of experts on the diagnosis and treatment of Cow's Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA) in children under 2 years of age in Mexico. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study, led by a scientific committee of five experts in CMPA, was divided into six phases, including a modified Delphi process. A total of 20 panelists, all of whom were pediatric specialists, participated in administering a comprehensive 38-item questionnaire. The questionnaire was divided into two blocks: Diagnosis and Treatment (20 items each). RESULTS: Consensus was reached on all the proposed items, with an agreement rate of over 70% for each of them. As a result, a diagnostic and treatment algorithm was developed that emphasized the reduction of unnecessary diagnostic studies and encouraged breastfeeding whenever possible. In cases where breast milk is not available, appropriate use of hypoallergenic formulas was recommended. In addition, recommendations on treatment duration and gradual reintroduction of cow's milk protein were provided. CONCLUSIONS: The recommendations endorsed by 20 Mexican pediatricians through this study are applicable to everyday clinical practice, thereby enhancing the diagnosis and treatment of children under 2 years of age with CMPA. This, in turn, will foster improved health outcomes and optimize the utilization of healthcare resources.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Chronic active Epstein Barr virus infection (CAEBV) is a rare condition, where the body is unable to counteract Epstein Barr viral replication (EBV), leading the patient to a chronic state with variable symptoms. Early recognition of infrequent or atypical clinical manifestations is relevant due to the particularities of their management and prognosis. OBJECTIVE: to describe a case of CAEBV manifes ted with colitis and hepatitis, summarizing the clinical-pathological and endoscopic characteristics and their evolution. CLINICAL CASE: A 6-year-old girl, previously healthy, presented recurrent episodes of jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, and fever. EBV hepatitis was diagnosed with a blood viral load of 328,000 copies / mL. Her liver biopsy revealed Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small RNAs (EBER). She evolved with mucosanguineous diarrhea and weight loss; the colonoscopy showed loss of the haustral pattern, multiple aphthous ulcers covered with fibrin, and 7 million copies of EBV / gram of tissue were found in the colon. T-cell lineage infection was identified, therefore Rituximab was started, with a decrease in viral load, complete resolution of diarrhea, and improvement in liver function tests. The definitive treatment was bone marrow transplantation. CONCLUSIONS: CAEBV is a serious disor der, little documented, and should be considered in the face of a prolonged or intermittent course of hepatitis, accompanied by general and gastrointestinal manifestations such as chronic diarrhea, hematochezia, and weight loss, since its outcome without treatment can be fatal.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The baseline impedance (BI) and the mean nocturnal baseline impedance (MNBI) serve as markers of mucosal integrity in patients with pathologic acid exposure time (AET). This work aims to investigate the association between the BI and MNBI with the AET in children. METHODOLOGY: A retrospective study was performed in children ≤18 years old with suspicion of gastroesophageal reflux disease who underwent both endoscopy and pH-impedance monitoring (pH-MII). Esophagitis was graded according to the Los Angeles classification. The pathological AET was determined depending on the age (≥5% in patients >1 year and ≥10% in those ages ≤1 year). For the BI, 60 s measurements were taken every 4 h, and for the MNBI, 3 10 min measurements were taken between 1.00 and 3:00 am; then, they were averaged. The means of BI and MNBI were compared with each other, with the AET, and other variables. RESULTS: Sixty-eight patients were included, 25% of patients presented pathological AET. The mean of the MNBI was higher than BI in channels 6 (2195 vs 1997 Ω, P = 0.011) and 5 (2393 vs 2228 Ω, P = 0.013). BI and MNBI at channel 6 were lower in patients with pathological AET than in those with normal AET (1573 vs 2138 Ω, P = 0.007) and (1592 vs 2396 Ω, P = 0.004), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Children with pathological AET had lower impedance values than those with normal AET. BI and MNBI measurements should be part of the routine MII-pH assessment in children.

RESUMO

A 13-year-old female with polyarteritis nodosa underwent a partial gastrectomy for ischemic necrosis and gastric perforation following left gastric artery thrombosis. She later presented with vomiting, early satiety, weight loss, and severe malnutrition, when she was diagnosed with an occlusive gastric stricture. She successfully underwent repeated therapeutic endoscopic balloon dilations until the endpoint of 15-18 mm lumen was achieved without any complications, and her symptoms resolved.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Acute diarrhea is the second leading cause of preventable mortality and morbidity in children worldwide. This study aimed to identify the main pathogens associated with acute diarrhea and to describe changes in gut microbiota in Mexican children. METHODS: This single-center observational study included 30 children (6 months to 5 years old) with acute diarrhea who were referred to the Instituto Nacional de Pediatría of Mexico City and 15 healthy volunteers (control group). Stool samples at day 0 (D0) and day 15 (D15) were collected for identification of microorganisms (reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analyses with xTAG gastrointestinal pathogen panel multiplex assay) and microbiota analysis (16S gene amplification sequencing). Prescription decisions were made by the treating clinician. RESULTS: The main pathogens identified were norovirus and Campylobacter jejuni (20% each). The majority of patients (n = 24) were prescribed Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 for treatment of acute diarrhea. Diarrheic episodes resolved within 1 week of treatment. Compared with D15 and control samples, D0 samples showed significantly lower alpha diversity and a clear shift in overall composition (beta diversity). Alpha diversity was significantly increased in S. boulardii-treated group between D0 and D15 to a level similar to that of control group. CONCLUSIONS: In these children, acute diarrhea was accompanied by significant alterations in gut microbiota. S. boulardii CNCM I-745 treatment may facilitate gut microbiota restoration in children with acute diarrhea, mostly through improvements in alpha diversity.

RESUMO

Hyponatremia is a common hydroelectrolytic disorder in pediatric patients with advanced cirrhosis. This complication is related to the alteration in the renal capacity to eliminate free water with solutes such as sodium, which leads to disproportionate water retention, a condition known as dilutional hyponatremia. The main pathogenic factors are the non-osmotic secretion of antidiuretic hormone and the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis and the sympathetic nervous system. Given that hyponatremia in cirrhosis is associated with an increase in morbidity and mortality, the objective of this review is to propose a systematic approach, based on the level of serum sodium, assessment of hemodynamic status and diuresis, which allows precise modifications that minimize negative impacts on survival and neurological sequelae.

RESUMO

Resumen Introducción: la hiperplasia nodular linfoide del colon se define como > 10 nódulos linfoides visibles en colonoscopia. No existen estudios de su validez al compararlo con la histopatología. Objetivos: determinar la validez del hallazgo de nódulos en colonoscopia para el diagnóstico de hiperplasia nodular linfoide. Material y métodos: estudio prospectivo de prueba diagnóstica. Se incluyeron colonoscopias realizadas consecutivamente de 2014 al 2018 con equipos Olympus PCFQ150AI y GIFXP150N con obtención de biopsias. El criterio endoscópico fue la presencia de > 10 nódulos de 2 a 10 mm y el criterio histológico fue hiperplasia de folículos linfoides y mantos de linfocitos en lámina propia o submucosa. Los datos se analizaron en Epidat3.1. Se obtuvo la sensibilidad (S), especificidad (E), valor predictivo positivo (VPP) y negativo (VPN), y coeficientes de probabilidad positivo (LR+) y negativo (LR-) con sus intervalos de confianza. Resultados: se incluyeron 327 colonoscopias, la mediana de edad fue de 84 meses. La principal indicación para la colonoscopia fue sangrado digestivo bajo (38,8%). El hallazgo de nódulos se encontró en el 21% y el sitio de mayor frecuencia fue el colon total (46%), mientras que por histopatología se encontró hiperplasia nodular linfoide en el 38%. El hallazgo de nódulos obtuvo una S de 32% (intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95%: 24-140), E de 84% (IC 95%: 79-89), VPP de 56% (IC 95%: 44-68), VPN de 67% (IC 95%: 61-72), LR+ de 2,04 (IC 95%: 1,4-3) y LR- de 0,8 (IC 95%: 0,8-0,9). Conclusiones: la validez diagnóstica del hallazgo de nódulos en colonoscopia para hiperplasia nodular linfoide es pobre, por lo que la toma de biopsia debe recomendarse siempre.


Abstract Introduction: Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia of the colon is characterized by the presence of >10 lymphoid nodules visible in colonoscopy. There are no studies that confirm their validity when compared with histopathology. Objective: To determine the validity of nodules detected at colonoscopy for the diagnosis of nodular lymphoid hyperplasia in children. Materials and methods: Prospective study of diagnostic test accuracy. Colonoscopies performed consecutively from 2014 to 2018 using Olympus PCFQ150AI and GIFXP150N biopsy machines were included. The endoscopic criterion was the presence of >10 nodules from 2 to 10mm of diameter, while the histological criterion was presence of follicular lymphoid hyperplasia and lymphocyte mantles in lamina propia or submucosa. Data were analyzed in Epidat3.1. Sensitivity (SE), specificity (SP), positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), positive likelihood ratio (LR+) and negative likelihood ratio (LR-) were obtained with their corresponding confidence intervals. Results: 327 colonoscopies were included; the median age was 84 months. The main indication for colonoscopy was lower gastrointestinal bleeding (38.8%). Nodules were found in 21% of the patients, predominantly throughout the whole colon (46%), whereas histopathology found nodular lymphoid hyperplasia in 38%. SE for the finding of nodules was 32% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 24-140), SP was 84% (95% CI: 79-89), PPV was 56% (95% CI: 44-68), NPV was 67% (95% CI: 61-72), LR+ was 2.04 (95% CI: 1.4-3) and LR- was 0.8 (95% CI: 0.8-0.9). Conclusions: The validity of the presence of nodules on colonoscopy for the diagnosis of nodular lymphoid hyperplasia is poor, so biopsy should always be performed.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is the most prevalent food allergy in children, and its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. It has been shown that the combination of genetic predisposition, perinatal factors, and intestinal imbalance of the immune response mediated by cytokines may play an essential role in CMPA pathogenesis. AIM: To characterize the gene expression of Th1, Th2, and Th17 cytokines in the duodenum and rectum in patients with CMPA. METHODS: This is an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, prospective study. We used specific IgE (ImmunoCAP®) in serum and biopsies from the rectum and duodenum for the detection of cytokine messenger RNA levels by real-time PCR in patients with a positive oral food challenge for CMPA. We analyzed the relative quantification of the gene expression of cytokines by real-time PCR, and we used the housekeeping gene GAPDH for normalization purposes. RESULTS: Thirty children (13 male and 17 female) were evaluated. All patients had an open challenge for CMPA. IgE specific to casein, alfa-lactalbumin, and beta-lactoglobulin was negative in all patients. In terms of cytokine levels, the levels of TNFα, IL-6, IL-12 (Th1), IL-4, IL-10, IL-13 (Th2), and IL-17 were found to be higher in the rectum than in the duodenum (p < 0.05). IL-15 was found to be higher in the duodenum than in the rectum (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In the present study we observed that the immune response in CMPA seems to be mediated by a Th1, Th2, and Th17 cytokine profile, with the rectum being the main affected site.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Dyspepsia comprises a group of symptoms that can have organic or functional origin. The purpose of this study was to describe the main causes of dyspepsia and its clinical evolution in children cared for in a tertiary care hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective study in children with dyspepsia. Patients underwent endoscopy with biopsy and rapid urease test to detect the presence of Helicobacter pylori. In case of normal endoscopy and biopsy, hydrogen breath test was performed. In all cases, follow-up was provided in order to evaluate symptom improvement. RESULTS: One hundred children were included, out of whom 52 were girls; mean age was 8.59 years. Esophagitis or erosive gastropathy were found in 54% of the cases (n = 54), H. pylori infection in 12% (n = 12), small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in 12% (n = 12), and functional dyspepsia in 20% (n = 20). CONCLUSION: In children with dyspepsia, organic causes should first be ruled out before dyspepsia being characterized as functional. In general terms, we consider that a stepped approach that includes endoscopy with biopsy, search for H. pylori and hydrogen breath test is necessary.


INTRODUCCIÓN: La dispepsia consiste en un conjunto de síntomas que pueden tener origen orgánico o funcional. El objetivo de este estudio fue describir las principales causas de la dispepsia y su evolución clínica en niños en un hospital de tercer nivel. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio retrospectivo en niños con dispepsia. Los pacientes fueron sometidos a endoscopia con toma de biopsia y prueba de urea rápida para Helicobacter pylori. En caso de endoscopia y biopsia normal, se tomó prueba de hidrogeniones en aliento. En todos los casos se dio seguimiento para evaluar la mejoría de síntomas. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 100 niños, de los cuales 52 eran niñas; la edad media fue de 8.59 años. Se encontró esofagitis y gastropatía erosiva en el 54% de los casos (n = 54), infección por H. pylori en el 12% (n = 12), sobrecrecimiento bacteriano del intestino delgado en el 12% (n = 12) y dispepsia funcional en el 20% (n = 20). CONCLUSIÓN: En niños con dispepsia se deben de descartar primero causas orgánicas antes de diagnosticar dispepsia funcional. En términos generales consideramos que es necesario un abordaje escalonado que incluya endoscopia con toma de biopsia, búsqueda de H. pylori y una prueba de hidrogeniones.

RESUMO

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a heterogenous and poorly understood entity characterised by an excessive growth of select microorganisms within the small intestine. This excessive bacterial biomass, in turn, disrupts host physiology in a myriad of ways, leading to gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal symptoms and complications. SIBO is a common cause of non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms in children, such as chronic abdominal pain, abdominal distention, diarrhoea, and flatulence, amongst others. In addition, it has recently been implicated in the pathophysiology of stunting, a disease that affects millions of children worldwide. Risk factors such as acid-suppressive therapies, alterations in gastrointestinal motility and anatomy, as well as impoverished conditions, have been shown to predispose children to SIBO. SIBO can be diagnosed via culture-dependant or culture-independent approaches. SIBO's epidemiology is limited due to the lack of uniformity and consensus of its diagnostic criteria, as well as the paucity of literature available. Antibiotics remain the first-line treatment option for SIBO, although emerging modalities such as probiotics and diet manipulation could also have a role. Herein, we present a state-of-the-art-review which aims to comprehensively outline the most current information on SIBO in children, with particular emphasis on the gut microbiota.

RESUMO

Approximately 50 million children and adolescents in Latin America are affected by the childhood obesity pandemic. We present the case of a 5-year-old Mexican girl with obesity and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), in whom prenatal, lifestyle and environmental risk factors were identified. Here, we demonstrate how childhood obesity is rooted since pregnancy and the perinatal stage, and how the social determinants of health like unsafe outdoor conditions, lack of infrastructure to exercise and a suboptimal physical activity curriculum in government schools strongly influence the development and maintenance of childhood obesity and complicate management.

RESUMO

Pediatric oncology and hematology patients are at increased risk of developing healthcare associated infections (HAIs). We conducted a prospective surveillance study on children with cancer admitted to the pediatric hematology and oncology units at a public pediatric hospital in Mexico from January 2004 to December 2009. The incidence of HAIs and groups at greatest risk for HAIs were analyzed. The annual HAI incidence rate and incidence density were calculated. Risk factors such as site of infection, HAI types, and cancer diagnosis were studied. A total of 9420 patients participated, and 409 had HAIs (479 episodes). Annual HAI rates were 3.7 to 5.5 per 100 admissions and the incidence density was 5.75 to 6 HAIs per 1000 inpatient days annually. There were 272 (56.8%) bloodstream infections, 45 (9.4%) pneumonia cases, and 44 (9.2%) skin and soft tissue infections. Children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia had 37.2% and those with acute myeloid leukemia had 16.4% of the HAIs. A total of 11.5% of the HAIs were in children with osteosarcoma. The most common pathogens were Gram-negative bacteria. The HAI-associated mortality rate was 3.7%. Although the overall HAI rate is in line with published reports, the mortality rate was higher, suggesting the incorporation of more aggressive methods to treat infections at our hospital.

RESUMO

Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is an immune-based disease that has become an increasing problem. The diagnosis and management of CMA varies from one clinical setting to another and represents a challenge in pediatric practice. In addition, because nonallergic food reactions can be confused with CMA symptoms, there is an overdiagnosis of the disease. In response to these situations, pediatric specialties from recognized institutions throughout Latin America decided to develop a clinical guideline for diagnosis and management of cow's milk allergy. These guidelines include definitions, epidemiology, pathophysiology overview, clinical and evidencebased recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of CMA. They also include prevention and prognosis sections and identify gaps in the current knowledge to be addressed through future research.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Acute respiratory infections are the second leading cause of morbidity in children under 18 years. Several drugs have been used with variable efficacy and safety, trying to reduce the associated symptoms and improve quality of life. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of buphenine, aminophenazone and diphenylpyraline hydrochloride when compared with placebo for the control of symptoms associated with common cold in children 6-24 months of age. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Randomized clinical trial, double blind, placebo controlled, in 100 children < 24 months of any gender, with symptoms associated to common cold. They received the drug under study vs. placebo for seven days. Both groups received acetaminophen. The change on common cold related symptoms were evaluated. Statistic analysis was made with STATA 11.0 for Mac. RESULTS: Fifty-three children were randomized to study drug and forty-seven to placebo. Age of children in each group was similar (12.2 +/- 5.8 months vs. 12.7 +/- 5.8 months, p NS). There were significant differences between groups in relation to rhinorrea and sneezing resolution, with better results in Flumil group and no adverse events observed. CONCLUSIONS: The results in this study indicates that Flumil is a safe and effective drug for control of symptoms present in the common cold in children aged 6-24 months.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To describe bone mass density in a group of healthy 6 to 12 year-old Mexican children by a peripheral DEXA, adjusted for gender. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study between 2006 and 2007 conducted in 1 965 children (982 male), without any medical condition, randomized from elementary schools in Mexico City. RESULTS: Changes in bone mineral density in girls show two phases: a lineal accretion (6-9 years) and an exponential curve (10 years and older); in boys these growth rates are less pronounced. CONCLUSIONS: It is considered that optimal interventions to improve bone mass density and peak bone mass should be performed between 6 to 12 years of age.

RESUMO

Human milk is recommended as the only alimentary source for the first six months of life. Additionally there is a medical and social need for safe and effective alternative forms of nutrition for infants who cannot be fed with breast milk. Recently the safety and efficacy of some ingredients in infant formulae, such as nucleotides have been discussed. This systematic review analyzed the available evidence to establish the efficacy, safety and dose-response effect of ribonucleotide-supplemented infant formulae (RSIFs). Randomised controlled clinical trials (RCTs) comparing RSIFs to formulae without nucleotides or breast milk were considered in this review. Outcome measures were: antibody titres to common paediatric vaccinations, total lymphocytes, lymphocyte subclasses and NK-cells, episodes of diarrhoea and acute respiratory infection. Publication quality was determined using Jadad and CONSORT guidelines. Results were combined using a random effects model and reported through standardised mean differences (WMD) or risk ratio (RR). Systematic review and meta-analysis showed that RSIFs were associated with a better antibody response to immunisation with Haemopillus influenzae vaccine [SMD 1.74 (99%CI 1.43-2.05), P=0.001], diphtheria toxoid [SMD 0.94 (0.75-1.12), P=0.001], oral polio vaccine [SMD 0.73 (0.51-0.95), P=0.001], and fewer episodes of diarrhoea [RR 0.67 (0.58-0.76), P=0.02]. We did not find a major risk of upper respiratory infections [RR 1.11 (0.90-1.36), P=0.50]. Available evidence suggests a positive benefit of RSFIs on infant health without any risk. These benefits begin with nucleotide addition of 1.9 mg/418.4 kJ and are maintained or increased with 10.78 mg/418.4 kJ.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare astemizole with other first or second generation antihistaminics in the treatment of allergic rhinitis or urticaria. DESIGN: Systematic revision of clinical, controlled and randomized tests. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 36 controlled, randomized, clinical, double or simple blind tests were made in 6,446 patients; 4,513 of them were assigned to astemizole and 1,933 to other first or second generation antihistaminics. Analyzed outcomes: Rate of global success; global scoring improvement of rhinitis; ocular, nasal or pharingeal pruritus; watering; nasal obstruction; sneeze; urticaria; cutaneous response to histamine; time to get a satisfactory improvent; frequency of sedation and headache. RESULTS: In connection to global success there were significant differences in favor of astemizole (OR 6.72, CI95% 5.36 to 8.41, p 0.0001); alike global scoring improvement of rhinitis (SMD -0.82, CI95% -1.70 to 0.06, p 0.04); rhinorrhea (SMD of -0.70, CI95% -1.47 to -0.03, p 0.02); nasal, pharingeal or ocular pruritus (SMD -0.64, CI95% -1.63 to 0.35, p 0.03); urticaria (SMD of -3.53, CI95% -4.11 to -2.94, p 0.0001), and reduction of cutaneous response to histamine (SMD -2.02, CI95% -2.47 to -1.57, p 0.0001). Differences for watering, nasal obstruction or sneeze were not observed. Finally, the safety area was analyzed considering the existence of sedation and headache; it was demonstrated less sedation (OR 0.23, CI95% 0.18 to 0.30, p 0.0001) and less headache (OR 0.58, CI95% 0.40 to 0.85, p 0.005) in the group treated with astemizole. CONCLUSIONS: The available evidence shows a therapeutic superiority of astemizole versus other antihistaminics in relation to the percentage of global success and the global scoring improvement of rhinitis, rhinorrhea, pruritus in general, urticaria symptoms and of the reduction of response to histamine, with a smaller frequency of headache or sedation.

RESUMO

Gastrointestinal endoscopy is a procedure that appeared at the end of the seventies and beginning of the eighties in adult patients. With time, however, the instruments have become more sophisticated and have been adapted for use in children; with this the procedure has become at present not only an important diagnostic arm but also an indispensable therapeutic procedure in much pediatric pathology. The purpose of this article is to show any physician who treats children the main therapeutic advantages and indications of this procedure.
