“…Al revisar los resúmenes se identificó que tres estudios no cumplían los criterios de inclusión debido a que dos se encontraban en idiomas diferentes al inglés y español (uno en turco y uno en alemán), y otro no reportó el tratamiento empleado (Figura 5). Se analizaron, entonces, 17 estudios (Tabla 3), de los cuales 12 correspondían a reportes de caso (20,21,(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)34), y 5 series de casos (18,19,22,32,33), que sumaron un total de 92 casos. Los países de origen fueron: Bolivia (20), México (21,30,31), Estados Unidos (23), Marruecos (24), Japón (25,26), Egipto (27), Venezuela (28), India (29), Portugal (34).…”
