ABSTRACT
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.

La cisaprida es hasta hoy el procinético intestinal de mayor uso en el mundo para el tratamiento de los trastornos de motilidad gastrointestinal, en México disponible de 1987 a la fecha, la farmacocinética y farmacodinámica han cobrado inusitada importancia al reportarse efectos adversos cardiacos potencialmente mortales (arritmias) principalmente con el uso combinado con medicamentos metabolizados por el citocromo P450 fracción 3 A4 en los que se incluye una larga lista de antibióticos, antimicóticos, antihistamínicos, antiarrítmicos etc, aún más el 24 de marzo de 2000 en Estados Unidos Janssen Pharmaceuticals y la FDA emitieron un comunicado para el uso restringido de la cisaprida. En nuestro país es posible que en un futuro cercano se haga lo mismo.
