OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiological, clinical and evolution features of @entity1381 ( @entity1381 ). @entity1 AND METHODS: A retrospective study of 43 cases of @entity1381 during the last 14 years (1984-1998) was performed. RESULTS: The mean age of the @entity1 was 3.2 years, the incidence during the summer season was the highest and 39 cases (90%) previously had @entity697 . All @entity1 had @entity810 , 32 of them (74%) required peritoneal dialysis. @entity1696 was found in 22 case (51%) and the mean duration was 10.3 days. The most frequent complications were: @entity101 in 21 cases (48%), @entity298 in 9 cases (20%), @entity410 in 8 @entity1 (16%) and 3 deaths (6%). The mean hospital stay was 14.5 days. After one year of ambulatory control, 76% of the @entity1 were completely recovered and only two cases (6%) had @entity177 . @entity410 associated significantly with a bad prognosis (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: @entity1381 has a very important morbimortality. @entity410 in the acute phase were associated with a bad prognosis. @entity1696 for more than 7 days and @entity1458 for more than 15 days were also predictors of a worse prognosis, but this was not significant.
