- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoActualización del diagnóstico y tratamiento del Síndrome Coqueluchoide. Revisión sistemática(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Jaigua Guallpa, Jenny Patricia; Quevedo Guallpa, Jenny Patricia; 0302393962Abstract: Coqueluchoide Syndrome (CS) or Pertussis-like Syndrome refers to a pathology exclusively at the pediatric population level, especially in children under six months. It is characterized by a clinical picture of various infectious and non-infectious etiologies. It causes pediatric health status instability, causing paroxysmal cough attacks, differentiating it from other respiratory infections. It is accompanied by inspiratory stridor or whooping cough. It has been evidenced that the clinic is mandatory, so it is effective when reaching the diagnosis and treating such pathology. General Objective: To determine the most updated diagnosis and treatment of Coqueluchoid Syndrome in pediatric patients between 1 month and five years old through a systematic review. Methodology: This review was conducted in scientific databases employing the most outstanding explanatory and descriptive articles of the last five years, focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of CS according to the PRISMA method in 2020. Results: It is evidenced that the diagnosis of CS is purely clinical, although it can be corroborated with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) since it has shown a high degree of effectiveness; as for the treatment, macrolides are considered the first-line therapy, as supported by most scientific articles. After administering an antibiotic scheme and general measures according to the specific clinical condition, beneficial results have been observed.
