Prevention and Treatment of Infections Related to Social Problems in Childhood

Improve your knowledge through this program, where you will find the best didactic material with real clinical cases. Learn here about the latest advances in the specialty to be able to perform a quality medical practice"

Infectiology is constantly undergoing changes. At the epidemiological level, with the emergence or re-emergence of certain diseases that are unknown or have little practice (zika, chikungunya, hemorrhagic fevers, among others), others that have fallen into oblivion or are unknown to younger physicians such as diphtheria, measles, whooping cough or flaccid paralysis associated with the polio vaccine virus. 

At the therapeutic level, the emergence of resistance (BLEES, MRSA, carbapenem-resistant enterobacteria, etc.), often caused by our unwise and rational use of drugs, creates problems for the clinician when it comes to initial empirical treatment in certain situations. 

At the diagnostic level, the increasingly frequent availability of new techniques allows a more rapid etiological diagnosis or by complementary techniques that require clinical diagnostic orientation such as ultrasound, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Without forgetting the support that the clinician has in laboratory tests that determine acute phase reactants such as procalcitonin or C-reactive protein, which are sometimes given excessive importance, forgetting that we treat patients and not laboratory results.

All this means that, in order to attend these patients with the maximum guarantee, the clinician must maintain a continuous training, even if they are not a specialist, since, as we have mentioned, the percentage of visits or interconsultations related to the infection is very high. If we add to this the increasing amount of information provided by parents, sometimes not always contrasted, professional updating becomes essential to be able to provide adequate information according to the current scientific evidence at all times.
