Characteristics of the Obstetric Population in a Saudi Maternity Hospital

ABSTRACT. Mothers who delivered in a large Maternity hospital and who represented a large proportion of the obstetric population in Riyadh are described. The mothers were characterized by a high material standard of living, by adequate energy reserves at confinement, by a low rate of pregnancy complications and preterm birth, and by the absence of smoking and of hard physical work during pregnancy. The mothers were also, however, characterized by pregnancies occurring at the extremes of the reproductive age, by short birth intervals, by short maternal stature, by low educational attainment, by poor utilization of antenatal services and by a high rate of previous infant loss, that is by characteristics previously found to consitute riskfactors for adverse perinatal outcome.

Skin test and RAST in children allergic to common allergens

Ninety children with bronchial asthma were evaluated for the presence of house dust, house dust mite. Aspergillus fumigatus and milk allergy in vivo by prick test (skin test) and in vitro by RAST. Of the 20 children tested for house dust allergy 12 were positive by skin test and six by RAST. Only six were positive by both methods. Of 25 children tested for house dust mite, 16 were positive by skin test, 13 by RAST and 11 by both methods. Of 35 children tested for aspergillus fumigatus, 25 were positive by skin test, 19 by RAST and 11 were positive by both methods. In the case of 10 children under three years of age with known hypersensitivity to milk, all were negative by prick test and three were moderately positive by RAST method. The correlation of skin test with RAST was 65% for house dust, 72% for house dust mite, 37% for aspergillus fumigatus and 70% for milk. Overall correlation of skin test with RAST was 56·7%.

Pancreatitis with hypoglycemia-associated convulsions following rotavirus gastroenteritis

A case of acute pancreatitis and hypoglycemia-associated convulsions following rotavirus gastroenteritis, occurring in a previously healthy 2-year, 8-month-old girl, is reported. Rotavirus infection was demonstrated both by detection of virus particles in stools by electron microscopy and Rotazyme Abbott, and by detection of specific serum IgM and IgG antibodies. Pancreatitis was revealed by raised serum amylase and lipase levels and by ultrasonographic findings. Moreover, transient islet cell antibodies were found. No abnormalities were revealed by clinical and laboratory follow-up studies. As suggested by this case report, further investigations on the possible pancreatic involvement by rotavirus may be helpful.
