Microespherocytosis in PediatricsMicroespherocitosis is the most comon hereditary anemia. Clinically it is caracterized for haemolytic anemia, with jaundice and transfusional requirements, sympthoms can be more intense in newborn period. With the purpose of review this disease, we studied the patients of the pediatric haematology policlinic in Roberto del Río Hospital, controlled between 1990 to 2005, we check the patient`s records and registerd the clinic and family background evaluating through the Eber's severity classifi cation the indication of splenectomy in each case. We registerd 44 patients. The 68.2% had family background. The 77.3% presented sympthoms during the newborn period, in wich 91.2% had jaundice. The 38.6% needed at least one transfusion after the newborn period. The Eber's severity classifi cation was different according to the variable evaluated, wich made its aplication diffi cult. Only one of the nine splenectomized patient had this indication. From the year 2000 the inquiry of the disease as well as the correct indication of splenectomy has improved. This coincides with the appearance of the Eber's publication about this disease. Conclusion: Microespherocitosis usually appears in the newborn period as jaundice and most patients has familial antecedents. Eber's severity classifi cation and molecular study allows a rational splenectomy indication and predicts the disease evolution. RESUMENLa microesferocitosis es la anemia hemolítica más frecuente en pediatría. Se caracteriza por asociarse a ictericia y requerir transfusiones, y la sintomatología puede ser más acentuada en período de recién nacido.

Avoidable causes of death have become an important indicator for evaluating health services. Such deaths would not occur if there were adequate prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment and the adoption of appropriate technologies. This article analyzes the pattern and magnitude of avoidable causes of death for the principal causes of death among elderly individuals up to 74 years of age, by gender, in São Paulo State, Brazil. The study further estimated the impact of avoidable causes of death on life expectancy among the elderly, and 62.5% of the deaths among elderly up to 74 years in São Paulo were due to these causes. The principal avoidable causes of death constituted 82.6% of all avoidable deaths, featuring hypertensions and tobacco-associated tumors. Life expectancy at 60 would increase by 20% if these deaths were avoided. Male excess mortality was observed in nearly all of the avoidable causes of death analyzed here, which could be related to greater exposure to risk factors and less use of health services by men. Prevention and health promotion measures should take these sharp gender differences into account.
