The interpretation of the data was performed according to the theory of Paul Ricoeur, on three occasions: respect and esteem; fulfilling relationships; and ethical and fair institutions. Eleven cases were studied: 6 boys and 5 girls of which only three were adherents: 2 and 1 respectively. Hypothesis was tested for the influence that stigma and discrimination have on adherence to treatment; detected cases coincided with those of non-adherence to treatment. Discussion of the problem was performed suggesting courses prudent action in all three levels. The importance in caring and esteem showed primary caregivers; as it influences the development and perception of the syndrome in children.
