Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease with multisystem involvement, an alternating clinical course, and which constitutes a diagnostic challenge, with a greater disease activity in the pediatric age group, which also darkens its prognosis. In this article, we report the case of a ten year old female patient who debuted with systemic lupus erythematosus with gastrointestinal, renal and hematological involvement; the chronic course coupled with the varied clinical spectrum suggested the diagnostic possibility.

Introduction: Anemia and low birth weight are very important public health problems. Objective: To determine the association between anemia in pregnant women with risk maternal age and low birth weight in the Obstetrics-Gynecology service of the Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen Hospital, in the period from October to December of the year 2018. Methods: A study of non-experimental, retrospective, cross-sectional, analytical, case-control type. In the period from October to December 2018, a total of 312 pregnant women with maternal age at risk (teenage and elderly pregnant women) were registered, of which 72 were anemic (Hb <11 g / dl), being the number of cases, and in order to improve statistical power, the relationship between cases and controls of 1: 2 was established, with the number of controls or non-anemic pregnant women with risk maternal age 142. The general characteristics are analyzed by group of anemic pregnant women and non-anemic, and its association with risk maternal age. The association of anemia in separately pregnant adolescents and elderly women with low birth weight is determined by Chi-square test and Odds ratio. Results: Among the variables studied anemic pregnant women, the highest frequency of nulliparity and vaginal delivery, and the lowest frequency of a history of abortion and adequate prenatal control. Teenage pregnant women with anemia were not associated with an increased risk of low birth weight (p = 0.056). Pregnant women who were anemic were associated with a 6-fold increased risk of low birth weight (95% CI: 2,219 to 18,026; p = 0.000). Conclusions: Elderly pregnant women have a higher risk of presenting products with low birth weight.

Objetivo: Determinar los indicadores clínico epidemiológicos asociados a úlceras por presión (UPP) en pacientes del servicio de Medicina del Hospital Nacional Hipólito Unanue durante los años 2016-2017. Métodos: Estudio observacional, analítico y retrospectivo, basándose en la revisión de historias clínicas. Se obtuvo una muestra no probabilística por conveniencia, calculándose el odds ratio (OR), aplicando intervalo de confianza al 95% y se utilizó la prueba del chi cuadrado, con un valor de p<0.05 como estadísticamente significativo. Resultados: Para la muestra se obtuvo 93 pacientes que cumplieron con los criterios del estudio; el 50,5% fueron varones, con una media de edad de 68 años (+21 años), siendo el 74.19% de la población total adultos mayores. Las localizaciones más frecuentes de UPP fueron a nivel sacro (77%) y talón (12.9%); asimismo, los estadios más frecuentes fueron: II (32.3%), IV (31.2%) y III (26.9%). La presencia de UPP grave estuvo asociada a: ser adulto mayor (OR: 3.12; IC95%: 1.2-8.2), hipoalbuminemia (OR: 6.23, IC95%: 1.8-21.1), anemia (OR: 4.31, IC95%: 1.2-14.9) y linfopenia (OR: 3.68; IC95%: 1.5-9). Conclusión: Los pacientes adultos mayores que presenten hipoalbuminemia, anemia o linfopenia tienen mayor riesgo para presentar úlceras por presión graves, las cuales interfieren de manera significativa en su calidad de vida.
