The criteria of Porto1 is aligned with the presentation of ESPGHAN because both sources draw attention to the care that must be taken to make the diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in children and adolescents, but especially in children under 6 years old in order to exclude the possibility of primary immunodeficiencies and monogenic diseases. The presentation of ESPGHAN reinforces that is very important the way how we introduce the diagnosis to the family and pediatric patients with IBD. Professionals should, if possible, have a team specialized in pediatric IBD, a pediatrician, pediatric gastroenterologist, nurse, nutritionist, psychologist, etc. IBD has become an increasingly diagnosed in children of all ages. This condition has a particular clinical picture in children compared with adults. Perform early diagnosis is crucial to avoid an additional impact on the nutritional status, pondoestatural and pubertal development. It also requires attention to the consequences of IBD on the psychosocial aspect of children and adolescents, it is common to break school and social activities, especially in those patients with unstable or severe disease, requiring psychological intervention.
