We report the case of a 15-year old girl who presented with a non-tender right upper eyelid swelling. Magnetic resonance confirmed the presence of an enlargement of the orbicular muscle with moderate contrast enhancement. Biopsy revealed the presence of necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis. Further studies ruled out systemic involvement. Thus, she was diagnosed with isolated granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). Treatment with steroids and methotrexate was started. Due to the persistence of the lesion, rituximab (RTX) was added with excellent clinical and radiological response. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of isolated orbital GPA treated with RTX in a pediatric patient.

- Abstract
Objective To estimate cut-off points and to establish response criteria for the Hospital Universitario La Princesa Index (HUPI) in patients with chronic polyarthritis. Methods Two cohorts, one of early arthritis (Princesa Early Arthritis Register Longitudinal PEARL] study) and other of long-term rheumatoid arthritis (Estudio de la Morbilidad y Expresión Clínica de la Artritis Reumatoide EMECAR]) including altogether 1200 patients were used to determine cut-off values for remission, and for low, moderate and high activity through receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis. The areas under ROC (AUC) were compared to those of validated indexes (SDAI, CDAI, DAS28). ROC analysis was also applied to establish minimal and relevant clinical improvement for HUPI. Results The best cut-off points for HUPI are 2, 5 and 9, classifying RA activity as remission if =2, low disease activity if >2 and =5), moderate if >5 and

- Abstract
Neonatal Screening Programs (PCN) have widely demonstrated their benefits since Dr. Guthrie published his developments on Phenylketonuria (PKU) in 1961. This paper describes how a simple and effective organization, which incorporates all the fundamental actors under the responsibility of the Public Health Directorate (DSP), has managed to ensure that the PCN of the Basque Country meets all the objectives required for a population screening. The acceptance by Basque society of the PCN allowed it to exceed 95% coverage in its second year of operation. Likewise, the limited negative social impact of PCN is evidenced by its low number of false positives and incorrect samples. Excellent response times allow every newborn with a positive result to have an early diagnosis and optimal initiation of treatment. There are two relevant experiences that support the importance of the effective exercise of the responsibility of the DSP. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) was incorporated into the PCN in 1991 meeting all technical and clinical criteria. At the request of the experts, the DSP ordered in 1993 to cease this activity showing that it did not provide the expected benefits. The problems of organically integrating the PCN into the healthcare system were also experienced. The need to compete for resources put public health activities, including the PCN, at risk and led to their return to direct dependence on the DSP. The availability of this structure, in addition to facilitating the incorporation of other screenings, allows facing the future challenges.

- Abstract
Introduction: Patient Safety Culture is based on learning from incidents, developing preventive strategies to reduce the likelihood to happen and recognizing and accompanying those who have suffered unnecessary and involuntary harm derived from the health care received. To go ahead on patient safety culture entails facilitating the implementation of these behaviors and attitudes in healthcare professionals. Objective was to describe the regulations of some autonomous communities and national proposals for regulations changes., Material and Methods: Search of normative changes made in the autonomous communities of Catalonia, Navarra and the Basque Country. Proposals for legislative changes at national level were agreed., Results: Activities and normative changes made in the autonomous communities of Catalonia, Navarre and the Basque Country are described and proposals for normative changes at the national level at short-term and long-term changes are made. In such a way that it is easier to advance in creating culture of patient safety in the whole National Health System CONCLUSION: Currently there is no global regulation that facilitates to advance in patient safety culture. Changes at the national legislation level are essential. It is at the Inter-territorial Council where the proposed legislative amendment should be defined, promoted by the representatives of the health systems of the autonomous communities., (Copyright © 2019 FECA.

- Abstract
The Pastormaster method consists of heating the water of hospital distribution systems at a specific point to a sufficient temperature for a minimum amount of time to eradicate legionella. The object of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Pastormaster method for legionella disinfection in a hospital environment. A two-phase procedure was performed: hydraulic optimization of the water supply circuit, and implementation of the Pastormaster method. Water samples were taken at 10 representative points in the hospital hot-water system and cultured microbiologically. Other physical and chemical measurements were also determined. Implementation of the Pastormaster method and correction of the deficiencies identified during a hydraulic system audit confirmed the absence of legionella in the hospital water distribution system. The combination of implementation of the Pastormaster method and conduction of a hydraulic audit designed to identify and remedy any possible problems in water circulation is effective in minimizing the risk of legionella contamination in hospital water distribution systems.

- Abstract
Background: In spite of the great effort that has been made in recent years in Castilla-La Mancha to control brucelosis, a lack of awareness on the part of producers and consumers leads to major epidemic outbreak, such as the one described below., Methods: A description of the outbreak is described and a study is conducted of cases and controls to determine the factors which are responsible for the epidemic. Unadjusted and adjusted Odds Ratios (O.R.) are obtained together with their confidence intervals, for the main epidemiological factors studied., Results: A total of 81 cases of brucelosis were recorded in a period of 25 weeks. All the cases occurred in the same borough or were in some way linked to it. In the case and controls study no differences were found with regard to age, sex, contact with livestock or the consumption of pasteurised milk or cheese. A strong link was established between the illness and the consumption of home-made cottage cheese prepared by a small-scale producer in the borough, (O.R. = 311.9; C.I. = 95% = 41.48-12735)., whose livestock turned out to be infected with Brucella Mellitensis., Conclusions: This outbreak showed that in Spain, there is a risk of contracting brucelosis by consuming non-pasteurised dairy products, particularly cheese, when these are not subjected to the normal sanitary and health controls. The benefits of epidemiological research in the search for cases and determining the factors responsible for the outbreak are also demonstrated. An intensification of controls, the cleansing of the herds and flocks and health education in general, are suitable instruments for controlling this zoonosis in Spain.
