Abstract

PINA-CUEVAS, Aruazi et al. Apparent life threatening events (ALTE): diagnostic approach. Acta pediatr. Méx [online]. 2014, vol.35, n.4, pp.338-350. ISSN 2395-8235.

Apparent Life-Threatening Events (ALTE) are a form of clinical presentation of various problems or diseases in children under one year of age. A frequency of 0.6/1000 newborns is estimated. In Mexico, there is no known incidence, systematic approach or guidelines for hospital discharge, so we performed a literature review. Its etiology may be gastrointestinal, neurological, cardiovascular, metabolic, endocrine or-idiopathic. The detailed history and physical examination provide an outline to select the laboratory and imaging studies to perform.

Keywords : ALTE; management; Apparent Life Threatening Events; Gastroesophageal reflux.
