infecciosa aguda en niños" ] ] "textoCompleto" => "Infectious ileitis is an infrequent cause of abdominal pain in the paediatric population. It manifests with abdominal pain, diffuse or localised in the right iliac fossa (RIF), with or without diarrhoea, and it may mimic other causes of acute abdomen, such as appendicitis, intussusception or ovarian diseases.Its characteristic sonographic appearance is the symmetrical thickening of the walls of the terminal ileum.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005">1</a> Depending on the causative agent, the inflammatory mucosal changes may extend to the caecum, appendix and right colon. In cases of exclusive involvement of the ileum and appendix, clinical and laboratory features alone do not allow differential diagnosis of infectious ileitis and acute appendicitis.We conducted a retrospective study of the patients that received a diagnosis of ileitis in our emergency department between 2014 and 2019 (84 cases). We only included patients in whom stool samples had been collected for microbiological testing (41/84; 48.8%). The ultrasound examinations were conducted by different paediatric radiologists and later reviewed by a single radiologist. An ileum wall thickness greater than 2 mm<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010">2</a> on ultrasound was considered pathological. Data were analyzed using student’s t test and chi square test, p < 0.05 considered significant.The results of stool culture were positive in 51.2% of cases (21/41), confirming the diagnosis of infectious ileitis. Campylobacter jejuni was the enteric pathogen identified most frequently (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0005">Table 1</a>). Fever was more frequent in patients with positive culture results (80.9% vs 50%; P = .037). We did not find any significant differences in any of the other clinical and laboratory variables under study (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0010">Table 2</a>).<elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0005"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0010"></elsevierMultimedia>The ultrasound examination revealed wall thickening in the terminal ileum in every patient (mean thickness, 4.5 ± 1.6 mm; median, 4 mm; range, 2.3–9). Mesenteric lymph node enlargement, hyperechoic pericaecal fat, hypervascularization of the bowel wall, free fluid and involvement of the colonic mucosa were found more frequently in the group of patients with abnormal stool culture results (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0010">Table 2</a>). Only 1 patient had an abnormal appendiceal diameter (>6 mm), which was associated with inflammation of the right colon, leucocytosis (24 × 103/μL) and elevation of acute phase reactants (C-reactive protein, 188 mg/L; fibrinogen >740 mg/dL). The patient was admitted to hospital for observation and pain management, and his stool culture turned out positive for C. jejuni.Of all patients, 51.2% required hospital admission, in every case to monitor the course of the abdominal pain. Nine patients were referred for follow-up in the outpatient gastroenterology clinic, and 3 of them underwent a colonoscopy. The diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) was not confirmed in any of the patients.In some instances, which in our series amounted to half the cases, a stool sample is not collected in children with acute ileitis. There may be 2 justifications for it: first, that diarrhoea is not always present, and second, that the turnaround time of stool culture is not quick enough to change the approach of the emergency care paediatrician, at least not immediately.Given this, abdominal ultrasound can offer relevant information to guide the initial aetiological diagnosis. However, it is important to take into account that thickening of the ileal wall is not pathognomonic of infection. There are many other causes that can give rise to inflammation of the end of the small intestine, such as Schönlein-Henoch purpura, intestinal lymphoma or IBD.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015">3</a>Based on our results, we cannot assert that mural thickness allows discrimination of the infectious aetiology of acute ileitis. The mean thickness in the group of patients with a positive stool culture (5.1 ± 1.5 mm) was very similar to the thickness found by other authors in children with IBD.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020">4</a>Approximately one fourth of our patients presented to the emergency department with focalised pain in the RIF. This warranted performance of abdominal ultrasound to rule out acute appendicitis. In most cases, the appendiceal diameter neared the pathological threshold of 6 mm. It is important to remember that the mere presence of terminal ileitis does not rule out the possibility of acute appendicitis. Therefore, the presence of other sonographic features supporting the suspected diagnosis of infection could help avoid performance of unnecessary laparotomies. For instance, the extension of inflammation beyond the terminal ileum suggests an infectious aetiology, and inflammation of the ileum and the caecum or the right colon are characteristic of infection by Salmonella and Campylobacter species.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025">5</a>The main limitation of our study is that ultrasound is an operator-dependent technique. As concerns this study in particular, the definition of mural hypervascularization varies between authors, as some consider the presence of any Doppler signal abnormal, while for others, a certain threshold of signals per cm2 needs to be met to consider the finding abnormal.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030">6</a>" "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "NotaPie" => array:1 [ 0 => array:2 [ "etiqueta" => "☆" "nota" => "Please cite this article as: Molina Gutiérrez MÁ, Pérez Vigara A, Martínez-Ojinaga Nodal E, Bueno Barriocanal M, López López R.
