ABSTRACT Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common disease in childhood and one of the most common causes of consultation in the pediatric emergency department. Its incidence ranges between 5% and 10% in children under 2 years old. Objective: To generate recommendations on the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of UTI in pediatric patients in Colombia. Methods: 15 questions of clinical interest in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of UTI in pediatric patients were formulated. A systematic review of the literature was carried out to identify the clinical practice guidelines (CPG) available in UTI, in order to use this evidence to answer the proposed questions and articulate the recommendations. Local and international tools were used to select and evaluate the CPGs. Information was retrieved from the selected guidelines, preliminary recommendations were compiled, and final recommendations were approved by expert consensus. Finally, the strength and direction of each recommendation was assessed. Results: A total of 4 CPGs were selected: American Academy of Pediatrics, Spanish Ministry of Health, McTaggart, and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. Final recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of UTI are presented in this paper. Conclusions: These recommendations will guide the teams to make clinical decisions regarding health care of pediatric patients with UTI in Colombia. This will help to improve health care and to generate policies for timely diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up in these patients.
RESUMO
El complejo linfangioleiomiomatosis (LAM)-esclerosis tuberosa (ET) es una enfermedad rara, con compromiso multisistémico que afecta principalmente pulmón y cerebro. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 25 años con LAM pulmonar que ingresa a la institución para protocolo de trasplante pulmonar. Durante los estudios de extensión se documenta compromiso extrapulmonar sistémico del complejo LAM-ET. A partir de este caso, se realizó una revisión de la literatura de las manifestaciones radiológicas sistémicas de la enfermedad y las recomendaciones de diagnóstico y manejo de estos pacientes; en especial, las indicaciones y contraindicaciones del trasplante pulmonar.
The lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) - Tuberous Sclerosis (TS) Complex is a rare disease with multisystem involvement affecting mainly lung and brain. We present the case of a 25-year-old female patient with pulmonary LAM. During the work-up studies for the lung transplantation protocol, the systemic extrapulmonary involvement of the LAM-TS complex is documented. From this case, a literature review of the systemic radiological manifestations of the disease and of the diagnosis and management recommendations of these patients was made. Special focus was made on the indications and contraindications of lung transplantation.
