Background During the initial phase of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, reduced numbers of acutely ill or injured children presented to emergency departments (EDs). Concerns were raised about the potential for delayed and more severe presentations and an increase in diagnoses such as diabetic ketoacidosis and mental health issues. This multinational observational study aimed to study the number of children presenting to EDs across Europe during the early COVID-19 pandemic and factors influencing this and to investigate changes in severity of illness and diagnoses. Methods and findings Routine health data were extracted retrospectively from electronic patient records of children aged 18 years and under, presenting to 38 EDs in 16 European countries for the period January 2018 to May 2020, using predefined and standardized data domains. Observed and predicted numbers of ED attendances were calculated for the period February 2020 to May 2020. Poisson models and incidence rate ratios (IRRs), using predicted counts for each site as offset to adjust for case-mix differences, were used to compare age groups, diagnoses, and outcomes. Reductions in pediatric ED attendances, hospital admissions, and high triage urgencies were seen in all participating sites. ED attendances were relatively higher in countries with lower SARS-CoV-2 prevalence (IRR 2·26, 95% CI 1·90 to 2·70, p < 0.001) and in children aged Conclusions Reductions in ED attendances were seen across Europe during the first COVID-19 lockdown period. More severely ill children continued to attend hospital more frequently compared to those with minor injuries and illnesses, although absolute numbers fell.

A picada acidental por agulha em crianças e adolescentes provoca grande ansiedade aos pais e é causa de recurso aos serviços de urgência. A exposição acidental inclui a picada por agulha de seringa encontrada na comunidade. O risco de transmissão do vírus da hepatite B (VHB), C (VHC), vírus da imunodeficiência humana (VIH) e outros agentes é habitualmente baixo, no entanto é da responsabilidade do clínico informar e minimizar a possibilidade de ocorrer doença. As recomendações atuais referentes à profilaxia em crianças são baseadas no risco de transmissão e seroconversão após exposição ocupacional em adultos. No entanto, e apesar da escassez de dados, a exposição acidental a picada de agulha na idade pediátrica merece uma avaliação particular. Com o objetivo de definir uma política comum a todos os hospitais e garantir acesso a cuidados mais adequados a todas as crianças, os autores apresentam um protocolo de profilaxia após exposição acidental a picada de agulha em idade pediátrica., Portuguese Journal of Pediatrics, Vol 44 No 3 (2013)

INTRODUCTION: In recent years there has been an increase of infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. Paediatric data are scarce, particularly at national level. AIMS: To analyse trends of health-care associated multidrug-resistant bacteria infections in a paediatric hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective incidence study was conducted in medical, surgical and intensive care wards in a level III paediatric hospital, from January 2005 to December 2009. The studied multidrug-resistant bacteria were methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), ESBL-producing bacilli, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp, multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA-MDR) and Acinetobacter baumannii resistant to carbapenems. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data, treatment and presence of risk factors for these infections were analysed. RESULTS: During the study period 106 multidrug-resistant bacteria were identified, related to 72 children, predominantly male (65.3%). The most frequently identified multidrug-resistant bacteria were MRSA (35.8%), PA-MDR (29.2%) and ESBL-producing bacilli (17.9%). Of the 106 multidrug-resistant bacteria, 45 (42.5%) were causing infection. During the study period the annual proportion of infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria went up from 32.0% in 2006 to 55.6% in 2009 (p = 0.376). The overall incidence rate of infection was 0.400 per 1 000 hospitalization-days, corresponding to 0.274 infections per 100 admissions, remaining stable over the five years. The most frequent infections were bloodstream (31.1%), intra-abdominal (20.0%), catheter-related (17.8%) and skin and soft tissue (11.1%). All children had risk factors and the most frequently identified were previous antibiotic therapy and underlying chronic disease (> 90%). Six children (13.3%) died during hospitalisation. CONCLUSIONS: During the study period, there was an increase in the proportion of multidrug-resistant bacteria but with no statistical significance. The overall incidence rate of multidrug-resistant bacteria infection remained stable. MRSA were the most frequently identified bacteria, followed by PA-MDR and ESBL-producing bacilli. Bloodstream infections were the most frequent infections, followed by intra-abdominal and catheter-related. All children had risk factors, mainly previous antibiotic therapy and chronic disease.

Resumo: Introdução: Nos últimos anos tem-se assistido a um aumento preocupante do número de infecções por bactérias multi-resistentes (BMR). As taxas de incidência de infecção por estas bactérias são um indicador de qualidade dos serviços de saúde. Os dados pediátricos são escassos e não há estudos portugueses publicados sobre este assunto. Objectivos: Avaliar a evolução da incidência de infecções por BMR associadas aos cuidados de saúde num hospital pediátrico. Analisar dados demográficos, clínicos, laboratoriais, terapêuticos e presença de factores de risco nessas infecções. Material e métodos: Estudo retrospectivo de incidência através de revisão de processos clínicos e base de dados microbiológicos, efectuado nas enfermarias médicas e cirúrgicas e Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos num hospital pediátrico nível III, entre Janeiro 2005 e Dezembro 2009 (5 anos). Resultados: Durante o período de estudo foram identificadas 106 BMR (17.1% dos isolamentos destas bactérias), correspondentes a 72 crianças, com predomínio do sexo masculino (65.3%). Os gérmens identificados foram S. aureus meticilino-resistentes, bacilos gram negativos produtores de β-lactamases de espectro expandido (ESBL), Enterococcus spp resistentes à vancomicina, Pseudomonas aeruginosa multi-resistentes e Acinetobacter baumanii resistente aos carbapenems. Das 106 BMR, 45 (42.5%) foram responsáveis por infecção. Ao longo dos cinco anos do estudo, a proporção anual de infecções por BMR variou entre 32.0% em 2006 e 55.6% em 2009, no entanto esta diferença não atinge significado estatístico. A taxa de incidência global de infecção por estas BMR foi de 0.400 por 1000 dias de internamento, correspondendo a 0.274 infecções por 100 internamentos, valor que se manteve estável ao longo dos 5 anos. Predominaram as infecções da corrente sanguínea, intra-abdominais, associadas a cateter venoso central e da pele e tecidos moles. Não foi encontrada nenhuma criança sem factores de risco e os mais frequentemente identificados foram antibioticoterapia prévia e doença crónica de base (> 90% dos casos). A maioria dos casos teve evolução favorável, no entanto 6/45 (13.3%) faleceram durante o internamento. Conclusões: A proporção de BMR apresentou uma tendência de aumento, embora sem significância estatística. Globalmente as taxas de incidência de infecção mantiveram-se estáveis e são inferiores às descritas na literatura, nomeadamente em estudos pediátricos, para o qual poderá contribuir o facto de a maioria dos estudos ser realizada em Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos. A quase totalidade das crianças apresentava factores de risco, nomeadamente antibioticoterapia prévia e doença crónica de base. Este constitui o primeiro estudo desta natureza efectuado na instituição e deverá ser o ponto de partida para uma vigilância continuada que leve à identificação dos problemas e implementação de medidas de resolução dos mesmos. Introduction: In recent years there has been a worrying increase in multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDRB) causing infections. The rate of these infections can be used as an indicator of the quality of healthcare services. Paediatric data are scarce, particularly at national level. Aims: To analyse the incidence and trends of health-care associated MDRB infections in a paediatric hospital. To analyze demographic, clinical, laboratory and therapeutic data and the presence of risk factors for these infections. Methods: A retrospective study of incidence, conducted in medical and surgical wards and Intensive Care Unit in a level III paediatric hospital, from January 2005 to December 2009 (5 years). Clinical and microbiological data were reviewed. Results: During the study period 106 MDRB were identified (17.1% of the isolated bacteria), related to 72 children, predominantly male (65.3%). The identified bacteria were: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), ESBL-producing bacilli, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp, multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii resistant to carbapenems. Of the 106 MDRB, 45 (42.5%) were causing infection. During the study period the annual proportion of infections caused by MDRB went up from 32% in 2006 to 55.6% in 2009, however this difference did not reach statistical significance. The overall incidence rate of infection was 0.400 per 1000 hospitalization-days, corresponding to 0.274 infections per 100 admissions, remaining relatively stable over the 5 years. The most frequent infections were bloodstream, intra-abdominal, catheter-related and of the skin and soft tissue infections. All children had risk factors and the most frequently identified were previous antibiotic therapy and chronic disease (>90% of the cases). Most cases had good outcome, however 6/45 children (13.3%) died during hospitalization. Conclusions: There was a tendency of increase in the proportion of MDRB infection over the years, however without statistical significance. The overall incidence rate of MDRB infection remained stable and was lower than described in literature, namely in paediatric studies, which may be due to the fact that most studies take place in Intensive Care Units. Almost all children had risk factors, mainly previous antibiotic therapy and chronic disease. This is the first study of this nature in our institution and should be the starting point to continued surveillance to identify problems and to implement measures to solve them.

A tumour bank is a consequence of the modern medicine to follow the knowledge of bio-pathology of pre-neoplastic and neoplastic diseases in order to define diagnostic criteria and accurate therapy. It can be an independent unit but it should depend on a real or virtual net in the country or in connection between different states. The informed agreement of the patient and law are integrally followed according with each country legislation and medical ethics is never overtaken for the accomplishment of diagnosis in the departments of pathology. A tumour bank works in the department of pathology, depends on trained technicians and pathologists and requires specific equipment for the different types of re-collecting, after dealing with confidentiality and law determinations. There are already some tumour bank nets in Europe (Spain, Croatia, Holland, UK, Germany) and Portugal is starting now its way.

Trabalho Final do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina apresentado à Faculdade de Medicina Introdução: A anafilaxia é a apresentação clínica mais grave das reações alérgicas sistémicas agudas. O tratamento adequado implica um diagnóstico atempado e uma atuação rápida, que inclui administração precoce de adrenalina intramuscular. Mesmo com a identificação do agente desencadeante, existe um risco de recorrência. Foi objetivo deste trabalho determinar o grau de recorrência de anafilaxia num serviço de urgência pediátrica e avaliar as características clínicas e fatores de risco associados. Material e Métodos: Estudo retrospetivo dos casos admitidos por anafilaxia num serviço de urgência pediátrico em Portugal, no período de 2010-2020 (10 anos). Foram analisadas variáveis demográficas e clínicas. Após seleção dos episódios de anafilaxia recorrente (dois ou mais episódios anafiláticos por doente) foram avaliados os possíveis fatores associados à recorrência, comparando entre si os grupos de doentes com e sem recorrência de anafilaxia. Resultados: Foram incluídos 62 episódios de anafilaxia, dos quais 19 (30,6%) recorrentes. Verificou-se predomínio do sexo masculino (78,9%), e a idade mediana foi de 11,1 anos. Os alimentos foram o principal fator desencadeante identificado (73,7%), destacando-se as proteínas do leite de vaca (PLV), os frutos secos e o glúten. A maioria dos casos apresentou sintomas mucocutâneos e respiratórios, e nenhum caso foi classificado como grave. Foram descritos antecedentes de doença alérgica em 84,2%, nomeadamente alergia alimentar (73,7%), incluindo alergia alimentar múltipla (42,1%), e asma (52,6%). Mais de metade tinha história familiar de atopia. A adrenalina foi administrada em 84,2% dos casos, e 15,8% necessitaram de internamento. À data da alta foi prescrito autoinjetor de adrenalina em 68,4% dos casos. Na análise comparativa a idade mais avançada (OR=1,3; p=0,014) e a alergia alimentar múltipla (OR=232,5; p=0,009) foram fatores de risco independentes para a recorrência de anafilaxia. Conclusão: O grau de recorrência de anafilaxia foi elevado (30,6%). A idade da adolescência e a presença de alergia alimentar múltipla associaram-se à recorrência do episódio anafilático. Background: Anaphylaxis is the most serious clinical presentation of acute systemic allergic reactions. Adequate treatment implies timely diagnosis and rapid action, which includes early administration of intramuscular adrenaline. Even with the identification of the triggering agent, there is a risk of recurrence. Our objective was to describe the degree of anaphylaxis recurrence in a pediatric emergency department and to assess the clinical characteristics and associated risk factors. Material and Methods: Retrospective study of cases admitted for anaphylaxis to a pediatric emergency department in Portugal, in the period of 2010-2020 (10 years). Demographic and clinical variables were analyzed. After selecting the episodes of recurrent anaphylaxis (two or more anaphylactic episodes per patient) the possible factors associated with recurrence were evaluated, comparing the groups of patients with and without recurrent anaphylaxis. Results: Of the 62 episodes of anaphylaxis included, 19 (30,6%) were recurrent. There was a predominance of males (78,9%), and the median age was 11,1 years. Food was the main triggering factor identified (73,7%), with emphasis on cow's milk proteins (CVP), dry fruits and gluten. Most cases had mucocutaneous and respiratory symptoms, and no case was classified as severe. A history of allergic disease was reported in 84,2%, namely food allergy (73,7%), including multiple food allergy (42,1%), and asthma (52,6%). More than half had a family history of atopy. Epinephrine was administered in 84,2% of cases, and 15,8% required hospitalization. At the time of discharge, adrenaline auto-injector was prescribed in 68,4% of cases. In the comparative analysis, older age (OR=1,3; p=0,014) and multiple food allergy (OR=232,5; p=0,009) were independent risk factors for the recurrence of anaphylaxis. Conclusion: The degree of anaphylaxis recurrence was high (30,6%). Adolescent age and the presence of multiple food allergy were associated with recurrence of anaphylaxis.

Study objectiveWe aimed to describe the preparedness and response to the COVID-19 pandemic in referral EDs caring for children across Europe.MethodsWe did a cross-sectional point prevalence survey, which was developed and disseminated through the pediatric emergency medicine research networks for Europe (REPEM) and the United Kingdom and Ireland (PERUKI). We included a pre-determined number of centers based on each country population: five to ten EDs for countries with > 20 million inhabitants and one to five EDs for the other countries. ED directors or named delegates completed the survey between March 20th and 21st to report practice in use one month after the outbreak in Northern Italy. We used descriptive statistics to analyse data.ResultsOverall 102 centers from 18 countries completed the survey: 34% did not have an ED contingency plan for pandemics and 36% had never had simulations for such events. Wide variation on PPE items was shown for recommended PPE use at pre-triage and for patient assessment, with 62% of centers experiencing shortage in one or more PPE items. COVID-19 positive ED staff was reported in 25% of centers. Only 17% of EDs had negative pressure isolation rooms.ConclusionWe identified variability and gaps in preparedness and response to the COVID-19 epidemic across European referral EDs for children. Early availability of a documented contingency plan, provision of simulation training, appropriate use of PPE, and appropriate isolation facilities emerged as key factors that should be optimized to improve preparedness and inform responses to future pandemics.

Trabalho Final do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina apresentado à Faculdade de Medicina Apesar de todos os avanços realizados na últimas décadas, a infeção pelo Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana (VIH) em idade pediátrica continua a ser uma realidade em todo o mundo, sendo que, atualmente, a vasta maioria dos casos é devida a transmissão mãe-filho. As estratégias preventivas, com destaque para profilaxia pós-exposição neonatal com antirretrovíricos, assumem um papel fulcral na diminuição de novas infeções, possibilitando uma oportunidade única para a eliminação desta doença em gerações futuras. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar as últimas publicações e recomendações internacionais, no que diz respeito às diferentes estratégias profiláticas de prevenção da transmissão do VIH mãe-filho. Foram incluídos artigos em língua inglesa publicados desde o ano de 1994, tendo sido dado maior importância àqueles publicados desde o ano de 2010. Recomendações portuguesas e internacionais foram consultadas e incluídas na análise. Em 1994 comprovou-se, pela primeira vez, que a zidovudina era eficaz na diminuição da transmissão do VIH, com redução de 70%, em comparação com o grupo sem intervenção terapêutica. Desde então, outras estratégias a vários níveis têm vindo a ser continuamente desenvolvidas, com o intuito de minimizar ainda mais este risco. Atualmente, se todas estas forem cumpridas, as taxas de transmissão são inferiores a 1%. Contudo, existem ainda obstáculos que devem ser ultrapassados a nível mundial, no caminho para a eliminação desta doença, tal como a heterogeneidade a nível dos diversos países, no que diz respeito a algumas intervenções específicas. Na sequência desta análise, de forma a sistematizar a informação, foi elaborada uma proposta de revisão do protocolo de profilaxia e seguimento de recém-nascidos expostos ao VIH materno. Despite all the the advances in the last decade, particularly in developed countries, pediatric Human Imunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection is still a reality all across the world and the large majority of cases is due to mother-to-child transmission. Preventive strategies, namely neonatal post-exposure prophylaxis with anti-HIV drugs, have a crucial role in the reduction of new infections, allowing an unique opportunity to eliminate this disease in future generations. The aim of this review is to analyze the latest findings and international recommendations regarding the different strategies for preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV. We performed a literature search on the online libraries and articles in English since the year 1994 were included and we gave a higher degree of importance to the ones published since the year 2010. Portuguese and international guidelines were searched and included in the analysis.In 1994, for the first time, it was proven that zidovudine was effective in reducing mother-to-child transmission of HIV, in a rate of 70%, compared to a group without therapeutic intervention. Since then, multiple other strategies on various levels have been continuously developed with the aim of further reducing this risk. Nowadays, if these are correctly put to practice, rates of vertical transmission can be lower than 1%. However, there are still many obstacles that must be overcome globaly, in order to eliminate this disease. Heterogeneity between countries in regards to specific interventions also exists. We also propose a review of the protocol for prophylaxis and management to be used in neonates exposed to maternal HIV infection.

Trabalho Final do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina apresentado à Faculdade de Medicina O hemangioma infantil (HI) é o tumor vascular benigno mais prevalente na população pediátrica, que ocorre em cerca de 4-5% das crianças. É mais prevalente no sexo feminino, na raça caucasiana e em recém-nascidos com baixo peso de nascimento. Em geral é autolimitado, no entanto cerca de 10-15% dos casos necessitam de tratamento. No passado o tratamento principal consistia na utilização de corticosteróides (CT). Em 2008 surgiram os primeiros estudos com a utilização do beta-bloqueador propranolol no HI, tornando-se posteriormente a primeira linha de tratamento. O propranolol provou ser um fármaco seguro e bem tolerado, com escassos efeitos adversos sendo estes ainda mais reduzidos quando é efetuada uma monitorização adequada. O propranolol provou eficácia acima dos 90% em doses entre 1,5-3mg/kg/dia, demonstrando resultados superiores em comparação com os tratamentos utilizados no passado.Tendo em conta a inexistência de guidelines para o seu uso em Portugal, foi oportuno após esta revisão teórica a realização de uma proposta de protocolo para sistematizar o seu uso em ambulatório. . Infantile hemangioma is the most prevalent benign tumor in the pediatric population and it is present in about 4-5% of children. They are more common in females, caucasians and in newborns with low weight at birth. Most of the times this is a self-limited injury but in 10- 15% of the times there is the need for treatment. In the beginning, most of these cases were treated with corticosteroids however, in 2008, appeared the first studies of the beta-blocker propranolol in the use for treatment in infantile hemangiomas leading it to become the first- line treatment. Propranolol has proven to be a safe and well tolerated drug with few adverse effects, being this number further reduced through adequate monitoring. Propranolol has demonstrated efficacy above 90% in doses between 1.5-3mg/kg/day showing excellent results compared to the previous treatments used in infantile hemangiomas. After this article review and given the lack of guidelines or protocols for the use of this drug in the infantile hemangiomas in Portugal, it seemed useful to develop a protocol proposal to regulate its use in an outpatient setting. .

Doença de Kawasaki ,Pediatria ,Complicações - Abstract
Trabalho final do 6º ano médico com vista à atribuição do grau de mestre (área científica de pediatria) no âmbito do ciclo de estudos de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina. Introdução: A doença de Kawasaki (DK) é a principal causa de doença cardíaca adquirida em idade pediátrica nos países desenvolvidos. A existência de complicações a longo prazo está descrita em diversos estudos sendo as alterações cardiovasculares responsáveis pela maior morbilidade e mortalidade. No entanto, o seu impacto a longo prazo noutros órgãos não está completamente estabelecido. Estudos recentes sugerem que está também implicada no desenvolvimento de surdez neurossensorial e patologia neuro-cognitiva. Foi objetivo deste estudo avaliar e caraterizar um grupo de doentes que tiveram DK há mais de 10 anos. Material e métodos: Estudo exploratório, com colheita retrospetiva de dados, efetuado num hospital pediátrico de referência para a região centro do país, durante 11 anos (1995-2005), com recurso ao processo clínico e a contacto telefónico. Foram incluídos todos os casos de Doença de Kawasaki (clássica e incompleta) de acordo com os critérios da American Heart Association. Foi obtido consentimento informado de todos os doentes. Resultados: Foram incluídos 30 casos, com predomínio do sexo masculino (80%) e idade mediana à data do diagnóstico de 2,8 anos (AIQ 1,3-6,5). Preenchiam critérios de DK clássica 26 casos (87%). A mediana da duração da febre até ao diagnóstico foi de 8 dias (AIQ 7-14). Onze crianças tinham alterações ecocardiográficas na fase aguda (37%), com posterior resolução em 10. A terapêutica combinada com imunoglobulina (IGEV) e ácido acetilsalicílico foi administrada em 23 casos (77%), em média 10,4±4,2 dias após o início da doença. Foi possível contactar 26 doentes/famílias (90%). A mediana de tempo após diagnóstico de DK foi de 16 anos (AIQ 13-19). Dez (38%) referiram manifestações de doença ao longo dos anos, nomeadamente alterações do ritmo cardíaco, síncopes de repetição, obesidade, diabetes mellitus, depressão, crises de ansiedade, perturbação de hiperatividade e défice de atenção e um caso de surdez neurossensorial. Não se registaram óbitos e três crianças fazem atualmente medicação crónica. Discussão: O envolvimento coronário na fase aguda foi elevado, em provável relação com o início tardio da IGEV. Na avaliação a longo prazo deste grupo de doentes que tiveram DK, encontrámos patologia cardíaca e neurocognitiva concordante com a descrita na literatura, abrindo a discussão à sua associação com DK. O tamanho reduzido da amostra e o seguimento muito diverso destes doentes torna impossível estabelecer uma relação causal. Para tal são necessários estudos longitudinais com seguimento a longo prazo deste grupo de doentes, o que irá permitir aumentar o conhecimento nesta área e consequentemente melhorar a abordagem destes doentes. Introduction: Kawasaki disease (KD) is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in developed countries. Long-term complications have been described in several studies and cardiovascular involvement is responsible for increased morbidity and mortality. However, long term impact on other systems is not fully clarified. Recent studies suggest that KD is also responsible in the development of sensorineural hearing loss and neuro-cognitive disorder. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and characterize a group of patients who had a diagnosis of KD more than 10 years ago. Materials and Methods: Exploratory study, with retrospective data collection, performed in a pediatric hospital, reference for the central region of the country, during an 11-year period (1995-2005). Data was obtained from clinical records and telephonic contact. All cases of KD (classic and incomplete), according with American Heart Association criteria, were included. Informed consent was obtained from all patients. Results: Thirty cases were included, with male predominance (80%) and median age at diagnosis of 2,8 years (IQR 1,3-6,5). Twenty six cases (87%) were defined as classic KD. The median duration of fever before the diagnosis was 8 days (IQR 7-14). Eleven children had echocardiographic abnormalities (37%), with posterior resolution in 10. Combined therapy with immunoglobulin (IVIG) and acetylsalicylic acid was administered in 23 cases (77%), with a mean time of 10,4 ± 4,2 days after the onset of disease. It was possible to contact 26 patients/families (90%) during. The median time after diagnosis is 16 years (IQR 13-19). Ten (38%) reported manifestations of disease over the years, namely dysrhythmias, recurrent syncope, obesity, diabetes mellitus, depression, anxiety disorder and a case of sensorineural hearing loss. There were no reported deaths and three children are chronically medicated. Discussion: The coronary involvement was high, and probably related to the late start of IVIG. During the long term evaluation of this group of patients that had KD, we found cardiovascular and neurocognitive involvement consistent with that described in the literature, opening the discussion to its association with KD. The small sample size and the different follow-up between patients makes it impossible to establish a causal relationship. For that purpose, longitudinal studies with long-term monitoring are required, what will increase knowledge in this area and therefore improve the management of these patients.

Trabalho final do 6º ano médico com vista à atribuição do grau de mestre (área científica de pediatria) no âmbito do ciclo de estudos de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina. Introdução: O paracetamol é um dos analgésicos e antipiréticos mais utilizados no mundo. A exposição aguda a doses tóxicas pode causar hepatotoxicidade grave a fatal. O tratamento consiste na descontaminação gastrointestinal precoce e na administração de N-acetilcisteína (NAC). Em 2012, foram publicadas no Reino Unido novas recomendações para o tratamento da intoxicação por paracetamol. Objectivo: Caracterizar os casos de intoxicação aguda por paracetamol em idade pediátrica observados num serviço de urgência e analisar os factores que contribuem para níveis séricos de paracetamol potencialmente tóxicos. Métodos: Estudo retrospetivo de 10 anos (2005-2014). Definiram-se como critérios de inclusão a ingestão de uma dose superior ou igual a 150 mg/kg ou 7,5 g ou a detecção de níveis séricos de paracetamol superiores à linha de tratamento do nomograma (100 mg/L). Excluíram-se os doentes com ingestão de paracetamol há mais de 24 horas. Definiram-se ainda 2 grupos (A e B) de acordo com o nível sérico de paracetamol (inferior e superior à linha de 100 mg/L) e foram comparados os resultados. Resultados: Incluíram-se 20 crianças, com distribuição crescente ao longo dos anos (mediana 1 caso/ano). A idade mediana foi de 15 anos, com predomínio do sexo feminino (85%), registando-se ingestão intencional em 70%. Houve ingestão concomitante de outras substâncias em 70%, na maioria psicofármacos. A mediana do tempo decorrido desde a ingestão foi de 4 horas (AIQ 2,3-10,5). Catorze casos (70%) tinham sintomas na admissão, nomeadamente manifestações gastrointestinais e neurológicas. A todos os doentes foi efectuado doseamento sérico do paracetamol, dos quais 9 (45%) tinham doseamento acima da linha de tratamento do nomograma (100 mg/L). Na admissão, duas crianças tinham aumento das aminotransferases e nenhuma aumento da bilirrubina total ou INR ≥2. Iniciaram terapêutica com NAC endovenosa 15 doentes (75%), dos quais 3 (20%) tiveram reações adversas. Um doente veio a preencher critérios de falência hepática aguda (FHA).

- Abstract
Introduction: Meningococcal infection has a high mortality and morbidity. Recently a new prognostic scoring system was developed for paediatric invasive meningococcal disease, based on platelet count and base excess â base excess and platelets score. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of base excess and platelets score to predict mortality in children admitted to intensive care due to invasive meningococcal disease., Material and Methods: Observational study, with retrospective data collection, during a 13.5 years period (01/2000 to 06/2013). Mortality by invasive meningococcal disease and related factors (organ dysfunction and multi-organ failure) were analysed. The base excess and platelets score was calculated retrospectively, to evaluate its accuracy in predicting mortality and compared with Paediatric Risk of Mortality and Paediatric Index of Mortality2., Results: Were admitted 76 children with invasive meningococcal disease. The most frequent type of dysfunction was cardiovascular (92%), followed by hematologic (55%). Of the total, 47 patients (62%) had criteria for multi-organ failure. The global mortality was 16%. Neurologic and renal dysfunction showed the strongest association with mortality, adjusted odds ratio 315 (26 - 3 804) and 155 (20 - 1 299). After application of receiver operating characteristic curves, Base Excess and Platelets score had an area under curve of 0.81, Paediatric Index of Mortality2 of 0.91 and Paediatric Risk of Mortality of 0.96., Discussion: The Base Excess and Platelets score showed good accuracy, although not as high as Paediatric Risk of Mortality or Paediatric Index of Mortality2., Conclusions: The Base Excess and Platelets score may be useful tool in invasive meningococcal disease because is highly sensitive and specific and is objectively measurable and readily available at presentation.

- Abstract
Introduction: Meningococcal infection has a high mortality and morbidity in children. Aggressive initial shock approach, early referral, secondary transport and vaccination are potential factors with impact in reducing its mortality. Objectives were to characterize children admitted to intensive care due to invasive meningococcal disease, to evaluate their prognostic scores and mortality., Material and Methods: Observational study, with retrospective data collection. Two periods were created according to the year of admission (A: 2000-2005 and B: 2006-2011). Prognostic parameters, organ failure and mortality rates were compared in these groups., Results: 70 children were admitted with invasive meningococcal disease. When compared with other causes of admission, a decrease in the number of admissions due to invasive meningococcal disease was observed (period A: 3.4%; period B: 1.5%; p = 0.001). The presence of meningitis was 41% in period A and 29% in period B (p = 0.461). Rapidly progressive purpura occurred in 78% in period A and 50% in period B (p = 0.032). Children from period A had multi-organ failure (80%), disseminated intravascular coagulation (76%) and coma (22%) more frequently than children from period B (29%, 29%, 0%; p < 0.05). Mortality was 26% in period A and 0% in period B (p = 0.006) and standardized mortality by PRISM was 1.3 and 0 in period A and B respectively., Discussion: The decrease in the number of admissions due to invasive meningococcal disease can be explained by the introduction of anti-meningococcal C vaccine in 2006. Mortality decline can be possibly explained by an improvement in the initial patient stabilization and to secondary transport., Conclusion: A decrease in the number of admissions due to invasive meningococcal disease and in mortality was observed.

- Abstract
Introduction: In recent years there has been an increase of infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. Paediatric data are scarce, particularly at national level., Aims: To analyse trends of health-care associated multidrug-resistant bacteria infections in a paediatric hospital., Material and Methods: A retrospective incidence study was conducted in medical, surgical and intensive care wards in a level III paediatric hospital, from January 2005 to December 2009. The studied multidrug-resistant bacteria were methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), ESBL-producing bacilli, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp, multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA-MDR) and Acinetobacter baumannii resistant to carbapenems. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data, treatment and presence of risk factors for these infections were analysed., Results: During the study period 106 multidrug-resistant bacteria were identified, related to 72 children, predominantly male (65.3%). The most frequently identified multidrug-resistant bacteria were MRSA (35.8%), PA-MDR (29.2%) and ESBL-producing bacilli (17.9%). Of the 106 multidrug-resistant bacteria, 45 (42.5%) were causing infection. During the study period the annual proportion of infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria went up from 32.0% in 2006 to 55.6% in 2009 (p = 0.376). The overall incidence rate of infection was 0.400 per 1 000 hospitalization-days, corresponding to 0.274 infections per 100 admissions, remaining stable over the five years. The most frequent infections were bloodstream (31.1%), intra-abdominal (20.0%), catheter-related (17.8%) and skin and soft tissue (11.1%). All children had risk factors and the most frequently identified were previous antibiotic therapy and underlying chronic disease (> 90%). Six children (13.3%) died during hospitalisation., Conclusions: During the study period, there was an increase in the proportion of multidrug-resistant bacteria but with no statistical significance. The overall incidence rate of multidrug-resistant bacteria infection remained stable. MRSA were the most frequently identified bacteria, followed by PA-MDR and ESBL-producing bacilli. Bloodstream infections were the most frequent infections, followed by intra-abdominal and catheter-related. All children had risk factors, mainly previous antibiotic therapy and chronic disease.

Introduction: Bronchiolitis is the most common lower respiratory infection in children under 2 years old. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most frequently involved etiologic agent., Aims: To identify different viruses causing bronchiolitis and try to correlate them with demographic and clinical variables. To analyze diagnostic and therapeutic approache., Methods: We conducted a prospective study, between November 2008 and March 2009 (5 months), including children < 2 years with bronchiolitis. Screening for RSV, parainfluenza 1-3 and adenovirus used immunofluorescence tests and screening for influenza A and B, human metapneumovirus (MPvh), human bocavirus (hBoV) and RSV used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques. Data were analysed by using SPSS®., Results: We included 78 children with 8.5 months mean age (83% < 12 months), 60% were male. The average duration of the disease was 15+5 days. Were on antibiotics 19.2%, because of concomitant acute otitis media (10.2%) or bacterial pneumonia (9%). 53% required hospital admission and the average length of stay was 7 days. Along hospitalization 95% of children required supplemental oxygen, 61% intravenous rehydration and 22% chest physiotherapy. Viral testing was positive in 59/75 children: RSV (69.3%), BoVh (22.7%), MPVh (4%), parainfluenza 3 (27%) and influenza A (2.6%). Co-infection with two viruses was detected in 23% of children. In 88% of children with positive samples for BoVh it has been detected RSV infection simultaneously. Children with co-infection (RSV + BoVh) required more often hospitalization compared with children infected with RSV alone (80% vs 60%, p=0.028), without significant differences in oxygen supplementation need and length of disease., Conclusions: RSV was the main etiologic agent and oxygen supplementation requirement justified the majority of hospitalizations. There was a high rate of co-infection with RSV and BoVh, but without longer disease. BoVh infection alone was uncommon.

- Abstract
A tumour bank is a consequence of the modern medicine to follow the knowledge of bio-pathology of pre-neoplastic and neoplastic diseases in order to define diagnostic criteria and accurate therapy. It can be an independent unit but it should depend on a real or virtual net in the country or in connection between different states. The informed agreement of the patient and law are integrally followed according with each country legislation and medical ethics is never overtaken for the accomplishment of diagnosis in the departments of pathology. A tumour bank works in the department of pathology, depends on trained technicians and pathologists and requires specific equipment for the different types of re-collecting, after dealing with confidentiality and law determinations. There are already some tumour bank nets in Europe (Spain, Croatia, Holland, UK, Germany) and Portugal is starting now its way.
