Abstract

Henoch–Schönlein purpura (HSP) is the most common vasculitis of childhood. In this review, the main clinical features and complications are described. Although most features are self-limiting, renal disease is the most likely to result in long-term morbidity. Treatment of HSP nephritis is controversial, and the evidence for both prevention and treatment of established disease is reviewed. Follow-up for children presenting with HSP should be for at least 6 months and should include regular urine testing for proteinuria and haematuria and a blood pressure measurement. Women with a history of HSP during childhood are at increased risk of complications (such as proteinuria and hypertension) during pregnancy and should be monitored closely. This paper describes current practice with regard to investigation and management and proposes a practical care pathway of the management of a child with HSP.

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