GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Chronic diseases (CD) are increasing in the first two decades of life, and it is estimated that 17-20% of children and adolescents present CDs. The Department of Pediatrics at FMUSP has developed significant expertise in diagnosis and in multidisciplinary approach to CDs, both common and rare illnesses. Currently, around 18,000 children and adolescents with several types CDs are followed at FMUSP Children’s Hospital (Instituto da Criança e do Adolescente HC-FMUSP). Bronchial asthma associated to upper airways allergic disorders is the most common CD in these age groups, affecting up to 12% of children and adolescents. Overweight and obesity have risen dramatically in the last decades around the world, and certainly constitute the second most common CD still in early life. Autoimmune and other immune-mediated diseases, such type 1 diabetes mellitus, childhood-systemic lupus erythematosus and humoral immunodeficiencies, have also been increasingly recognized in pediatric clinical practice. Neoplasias (particularly acute leukemia and lymphoma) and genetic disorders (such as sickle cell disease and cystic fibrosis) constitute nowadays important CDs in children and adolescents.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
The main objectives of this course are:
1) To discuss the most important chronic diseases (CD) in children and adolescents, such as severe respiratory allergic disorders, obesity, type 1 diabetes mellitus, childhood-systemic lupus erythematosus, primary hypogammaglobulinemia, cystic fibrosis and the main types of pediatric cancer, among others;
2) To discuss each CD focusing on its epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical and laboratorial diagnosis, treatment, outcome, as well as therapeutic education aiming at improving patient and family adherence.

TEACHING METHODS
Short lectures: presentations lasting at most 40 minutes, with interaction, questions and discussions of the proposed topics.
