Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The nutritional needs and particularly, the energetic metabolism in childhood is a controversy in the literature. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the energetic spent at rest in children with sepsis. METHOD: The database of Medline and SciELO was consulted. We used as search strategy the words: newborn and energy spent or sepsis in all fields. RESULTS: In the case of sepsis , the child presents immaturity of the enzymatic system, which limits the production of some aminoacids, such as cystein (cistationase enzyme deficit in preterm), taurine, gutamine and nucleotides as coline e inositol. This fact turns those nutrients conditionally essential for children. CONCLUSION: Many concepts for adults are used in childohood, which is not correct and may cause several consequences to the health of children.
