Abstract

Objective

To study extra- gastric manifestations of H. pylori infection among children in Egypt.

Methods

This case–control study in which sixty H pylori positive children were compared to sixty H pylori negative children was conducted. Full history taking, clinical examination, CBC, serum iron, serum ferritin in addition to H pylori antibody testing were performed.

Results

Mean hemoglobin, MCV, MCH, serum iron and serum ferritin were all less in seropositive patients but these were statistically non significant. Iron deficiency (ID) was defined as serum ferritin less than 12 ng/ml; and Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) as hemoglobin less than 11 g/dL in addition to ID. Seropositive patients showed increased frequency of ID and IDA and this was statistically significant (0.003 & 0.000 respectively). There was no statistically significant difference as regards the platelet counts of the two groups or the presence of skin disorders or the gender.

Conclusions

There is increased incidence of ID and IDA among H pylori positive children. This needs to be confirmed by larger therapeutic randomized controlled trials. The hematological response to eradication therapy needs to be further studied.

Ähnliche Überlebensraten nach Reanimation während des Transports bzw. vor Ort

29.05.2024 Reanimation im Kindesalter Nachrichten

Laut einer Studie aus den USA und Kanada scheint es bei der Reanimation von Kindern außerhalb einer Klinik keinen Unterschied für das Überleben zu machen, ob die Wiederbelebungsmaßnahmen während des Transports in die Klinik stattfinden oder vor Ort ausgeführt werden. Jedoch gibt es dabei einige Einschränkungen und eine wichtige Ausnahme.

Alter der Mutter beeinflusst Risiko für kongenitale Anomalie

28.05.2024 Kinder- und Jugendgynäkologie Nachrichten

Welchen Einfluss das Alter ihrer Mutter auf das Risiko hat, dass Kinder mit nicht chromosomal bedingter Malformation zur Welt kommen, hat eine ungarische Studie untersucht. Sie zeigt: Nicht nur fortgeschrittenes Alter ist riskant.

Begünstigt Bettruhe der Mutter doch das fetale Wachstum?

Ob ungeborene Kinder, die kleiner als die meisten Gleichaltrigen sind, schneller wachsen, wenn die Mutter sich mehr ausruht, wird diskutiert. Die Ergebnisse einer US-Studie sprechen dafür.

Bei Amblyopie früher abkleben als bisher empfohlen?

Bei Amblyopie ist das frühzeitige Abkleben des kontralateralen Auges in den meisten Fällen wohl effektiver als der Therapiestandard mit zunächst mehrmonatigem Brilletragen.
