RESUMO
Nontuberculous or environmental mycobacterial disease in children has been increasingly recognized over the last decade. We present four patients who were diagnosed in the year 2000. The children were aged between 2 and 8 years. Three patients presented involvement of the cervical lymph nodes and one presented involvement of the inguinal nodes. Three of the children were treated with a combination of surgery and chemotherapy and one was treated with chemotherapy alone. We describe the clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, therapeutic management and complications of nontuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis in children.

Las enfermedades ocasionadas por micobacterias no tuberculosas o ambientales han aumentado en la última década. Se presentan 4 casos diagnosticados durante el año 2000. Todos los niños tenían entre 2 y 8 años de edad. Tres casos presentaban afectación de los ganglios linfáticos cervicales y un caso de los inguinales. El tratamiento en 3 pacientes fue una combinación de cirugía y quimioterapia y un caso con quimioterapia solamente. En este trabajo se comentan las principales características clínicas, hallazgos de laboratorio, indicaciones terapéuticas y complicaciones de las linfoadenopatías producidas por micobacterias no tuberculosas (AU)

Since 19th century the trends to medical specialization produced an increase of otorhinolaryngological publications. Due to the impossibility for the otorhinolaryngologist to gather all the medical literature, indexes and medical bibliographies have become an essential tool to physicians and medical investigators, helping them to select relevant literature. In the present work we describe the most interesting indexes of biomedical bibliography for the otorhinolaryngologist. Also, we give a list of the seventy most prestigious otorhinolaryngological journals in the world and the repertories in which they are included.

A study of plasmatic fatty acids was carried out on a group of paediatric patients suffering from cystic fibrosis. These data have been compared with those obtained by others authors. High levels of saturated fatty acids and a reduction of polyunsaturates have been found. The ratio of eicosatrienoic acid to arachidonic acid is high in this group of patients, which indicates a certain lack of essential fatty acids.
