Awareness of the very high prevalence of chronic illness in children led us to carry out a systematic literature review of studies indexed in the databases SciElo, LILACS, CINAHL, PubMed, Nursing Reference Center, PepsiCo, Medline, PsycoInfo and ScienceDirect published between 2001 and 2010, related to the topic bullying in Children with Chronic Illness, in which we tried to determine whether children with a chronic illness are more likely to be victims of bullying than healthy children. To guide the review we used the search words “child,” “bullying”, “special needs”, “chronic disease”, “victimization,” “violence”, “aggression” and “psychological damage”, and identified 97 articles, 40 of which were selected, 10 were located and 6 were used. The results were analyzed according to the topic investigated and the methodological aspects were categorized. The main topics covered in the study were the incidence of bullying, different forms of bullying and breaking of silence by the child. The studies analyzed identified a relationship between the fact that the child has a chronic illness and being bullied by comparing a control group of healthy children. Studies have shown that there are significant differences between having chronic illness and being a victim of bullying.
