RESUMEN
Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 20 niños de 0 a 5 años de edad con metabolopatías congénitas (fenilcetonuria, galactosemia, deficiencia de biotinidasa, hiperplasia suprarrenal congénita e hipotiroidismo congénito), quienes habían sido diagnosticados a través de la pesquisa neonatal, procedentes de todos los municipios de Santiago de Cuba, y fueron atendidos en el Centro Provincial de Genética Médica desde el 2006 hasta el 2011, a fin de caracterizarles según algunas variables clínicas y epidemiológicas. En la provincia de Santiago de Cuba se obtuvo una baja tasa de incidencia de los trastornos metabólicos congénitos detectados en la pesquisa neonatal, con una mayor frecuencia del hipotiroidismo congénito (55,0 %). De igual manera, los pacientes mostraban escasas manifestaciones clínicas, las cuales, además, eran leves. Los resultados de la serie reflejaron la presencia de un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportunos, unidos a una adecuada atención pediátrica.
ABSTRACT
A descriptive and cross sectional study was conducted in 20 children from 0 to 5 years of age with inborn errors of metabolism (phenylketonuria, galactosemia, biotinidase deficiency, congenital adrenal hyperplasia and congenital hypothyroidism), coming from all the municipalities of Santiago de Cuba, who were diagnosed through neonatal screening and attended in the Provincial Center of Medical Genetics from 2006 to 2011, in order to characterize them according to some clinical and epidemiological variables. In Santiago de Cuba province a low rate of incidence of congenital metabolic disorders diagnosed in neonatal screening was obtained, with a higher frequency of congenital hypothyroidism (55.0%). Similarly, patients had a few clinical manifestations, which also were mild. The results of the series revealed the presence of an early diagnosis and treatment, with adequate pediatric care.
