According to international studies, its prevalence worldwide is between 2 to 57% of the population and
presenting, depending on the stage of life, varied clinical manifestations. Also, exacerbations of other associated conditions may occur, which makes it difficult to diagnose, generating several consults at the different levels of care.

of the nurse professional role in managing the care
of children and adults living with this health problem,
through a review of updated publications on HSD and

Emphasis is placed on how nursing care can accompany people with this condition. It is concluded that it is essential to be aware of the existence of this pathology in an interdisciplinary way to contribute in the research, the management and care of the affected people. |
