Severe Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Pediatric Case Report.

Background: Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a non-IgE-mediated food allergy. In the last few years, after the publication of the consensus guidelines, with refined diagnostic criteria and improved awareness, FPIES is diagnosed with increased frequency. However, despite having a background of immune dysregulation, this complication has just been described once in the posttransplant setting, in an adult patient.

Venous thromboembolism in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia under chemotherapy treatment. Risk factors and usefulness of thromboprophylaxis. Results of LAL-SEHOP-PETHEMA-2013.

Introduction: Symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) is diagnosed in 3%-14% of patients during pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) therapy. There are well-known risk factors, but the role of others as inherited thrombophilia is still controversial. Prophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) has been described, but its use is not globally accepted.
