ABSTRACT
La fibrosis quística (FQ) es un trastorno hereditario, de las glándulas de secreción exocrina, considerada la causa más frecuente de insuficiencia pancreática exocrina (IPE) en la infancia. Esta revisión resume el panorama del tratamiento de reposición enzimática en la IPE asociada a la FQ, las formulaciones disponibles, su dosificación y modo de administración, así como las limitaciones y desafíos actuales y las posibles áreas del desarrollo futuro
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disorder of the exocrine secretion glands, considered the most frequent cause of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) in childhood. This review summarizes the landscape of enzyme replacement therapy in PEI associated with CF, the available formulations, their dosage and mode of administration, as well as the current limitations and challenges and potential areas for future development.

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.
