ResumoObjetivo: avaliação da positividade aos testes cutâneos de hipersensibilidade imediata em crianças com asma brônquica e/ou rinite alérgica em diferentes faixas etárias.Casuística e Métodos: foi observada a positividade aos testes cutâneos de hipersensibilidade imediata, por testes de puntura, frente a diferentes alérgenos de mesma procedência: poeira total e Dermatophagóides sp, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides farinae e Blomia tropicalis, Penicillium sp, Alternaria alternata, Cladosporium herbarium, Aspergillus fumigatus, grama bermuda, capim de pasto, epitélio de cão, epitélio de gato, penas, Blatella germanica, lã. Foram selecionadas 713 crianças divididas em grupos conforme a faixa etária: grupo I (6 a 11 meses), II (1 a 3 anos e 11 meses), III (4 a 8 anos e 11 meses) e IV (9 a 15 anos). Para análise estatística utilizou-se o cálculo do qui-quadrado.Resultados: o total de diferenças significativas entre os vários grupos foi: I e II = 5; II e III = 5; II e IV = 5; III e IV = 6; I e III = 10 e I e IV = 10 Conclusão: concluiu-se que a positividade ao teste de hipersensibilidade imediata foi maior com o evoluir da idade, havendo positividade já aos doze meses de vida, sendo esta positividade significativamente maior a partir de quatro anos de idade.J Pediatr (Rio J) 2001; 77 (2): 112-8: hipersensibilidade imediata, testes cutâneos, alérgenos, grupos etários. AbstractObjective: to evaluate positive responses to skin tests for immediate hypersensitivity to allergens in children with asthma and rhinitis at different ages.Method: we observed positive skin test reactivity in prick tests using fifteen allergens of same origin (total dust and Dermatophagoides sp
The patients with infective endocarditis were immunocompetent in most sectors of immune response and, at a certain moment, an autoimmune component may be present.

We report herein a patient who presented nephrotic syndrome (NS) as the first manifestation of JSSc with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). A female patient presented steroid-sensitive NS at the age of 12 years. At 14 years, she had orbital and lower limbs edema, arterial hypertension, sclerodactyly and proximal skin sclerosis. Moderate capillary dilation and mild focal devascularization were observed in nailfold capillaroscopy, compatible with early stage of scleroderma (scleroderma pattern). Percutaneous renal biopsy guided by ultrasound revealed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and direct immunofluorescence were negative.Therefore, she fullfilled the provisional classification criteria for JSSc. Patient was treated with oral 25-hydroxyvitamin D (800 IU/day), methotrexate (0.5 mg/kg/week) and amlodipin (0.15 mg/kg). Prednisone (60 mg/m 2 /day) was administered for 4 consecutive weeks, followed by alternate-day (40 mg/m 2 ) for 2 consecutive months, with tapering for 4 months and then stopping this medication. Currently she is being treated with methotrexate 15 mg/week, without edema and proteinuria. In conclusion, we reported a rare case of NS with FSGS as the first manifestation of scleroderma. Therefore, renal biopsy is mandatory in JSSc patients with sustained proteinuria or NS. Síndrome nefrótica como a primeira manifestação da esclerodermia sistêmica juvenilPalavras-chave: Esclerose sistêmica juvenil Síndrome nefrótica r e s u m o O envolvimento renal ocorre em 1% a 12% dos pacientes com esclerose sistêmica juvenil (ESJ) e manifesta-se principalmente como hipertensão arterial, proteinúria e crise renal da esclerodermia. Relata-se o caso de uma paciente que manifestou síndrome nefrótica (SN)
