OBJECTIVES: To describe the case of a newborn with COVID-19 who developed acute pericarditis evidenced by echocardiogram. METHODS: The information contained in this description was obtained by reviewing medical records and interviewing a medical team. DISCUSSION: In neonates, SARS-CoV-2 infection is usually asymptomatic or presents with mild symptoms. Acute pericarditis is a benign and self-limiting condition if not associated with pericardial effusion and constriction. Its main etiology in the pediatric group is viral and because it is not very symptomatic, one of the possibilities is that the finding in COVID-19 is underdiagnosed. CONCLUSION: Isolated acute pericarditis associated with infection by the novel coronavirus is a rare disorder not reported in the pediatric population. Studies are needed to better assess the prevalence and cardiological outcomes in this group.
OBJECTIVES: To perform a narrative review of the literature about current guidelines for food allergy and present the main recommendations for cows milk protein allergy (CMPA) management in children at primary health care by algorithms. METHODS: We searched for relevant publications on Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, PubMed, Guidelines International Network, National Guidelines Clearinghouse and National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) using the keywords on this topic. A comprehensive review of these publications as well as the recommendations of the Brazilian guide and consensus for food allergy was performed. CONCLUSION: Adequate diagnosis and treatment for CMPA in children is essential, considering its nutritional, emotional and socioeconomic burden. Clinical practice guidelines provide recommendations based on scientific evidence improving quality of care, however their implementation is challenging due to the lack of practical algorithms applicable and accessible for the management of CMPA in primary care. In addition, the lack of algorithms that favor accessibility to information from the extensive scientific content available is a reality that makes relevant the proposal for a management of CMPA more practical, applicable and acessible, in order to consolidate a clinical practice based on scientific evidence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
