Propuesta para el diagnóstico precoz del síndrome de Nicolau en niños de 2 a 23 meses

Abstract

Introduction: Nicolau syndrome (NS) is an uncommon disorder with no causal etiology and no standardized protocol for diagnosis and treatment. The triggering factor begins with an adverse reaction after the drug administration causing discomfort and distress in patients. Medical and nursing staff are in daily practice with this procedure where identifying signs and symptoms is crucial for an early diagnosis. Objective: To set a proposal for early detection of Nicolau syndrome in children aged 2 to 23 months. Methods: Documentary research study focused on descriptive and exploratory methods whose information was used to select the bibliography for the proposal about the early diagnosis of Nicolau syndrome. It was used scientific databases and search engines such as PubMed, Medline, Scielo, Elsevier, and Google Academic. Conclusion: For the early detection of Nicolau syndrome based on the child's symptoms, a diagram has been developed to help health staff and parents avoid serious complications.
