Eighty cases of miliary tuberculosis admitted to our hospital between January 1981 and December 1984 were reviewed. The age of the patients ranged from 3 months to 12 years, with an average of 2 years 2 months (26.5 months). Nine cases (11.25%) died during hospitalization due to the severe condition at the time of admission. Only 8 patients (10%) were in good nutritional condition. Seventy-two patients (90%) had been visiting the primary health care clinic for several times since 2-3 months but were never diagnosed as suffering from tuberculosis. Fever or recurrent fever were found in 78 cases (97.5%), anorexia in 65 cases (81.3%), chronic and/or recurrent cough in 72 cases (90%) and malaise in 43 (53.8%). Forty-one (51.3%) denied the presence of a close contact with source of infection. Hepatomegaly was found in 44 cases (55%), 19 (23.8%) of which were associated with splenomegaly. Choroidal tubercle was found in 4 cases; 1 case with coxitis, 1 with brain tuberculoma, 1 with ascites, 1 with endobronchitis and 1 with hepatitis. Forty-three (53.8%) were tuberculin negatives, 24 of which become positives after treatment. Fourteen cases had BCG scar. History of measles was found in 21 cases. Children with longterm and recurrent fever, anorexia, decrease of body weight and recurrent cough should be suspected of having TB thus enabling to get an early diagnosis. 相似文献

The medical records of 30 children with central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS tuberculosis) who were treated between March, 1976, and February, 1989, were reviewed. All had cranial computerized tomography scans at presentation. The mean cerebrospinal fluid leukocyte count was 200/mm3, protein 239 mg/dl, glucose 25 mg/dl and CSF/serum glucose ratio 21%. Mantoux skin tests with 5 tuberculin units were greater than or equal to 10 mm induration in 50%, and chest radiographs were positive in 40% of patients. Hydrocephalus was demonstrated by cranial computerized tomography in all 30 patients (100%). Cranial computerized tomography scan demonstrating hydrocephalus is a sensitive radiographic nervous system tuberculosis and should be part of the early evaluation of children with suspected central nervous system tuberculosis. 相似文献

The clinical course of 19 children with miliary tuberculosis was studied. Complaints were nonspecific and included fever, anorexia, weight loss, and night sweats. Although all but one child had a miliary infiltrate visible on the chest roentgenogram, only 13 had a positive reaction to the purified protein derivative of the tuberculin test at admission to the hospital. Outcome was excellent unless the child also had tuberculous meningitis or was in a far advanced state of the disease. Miliary tuberculosis continues to be a rare but important cause of illness in the pediatric population. Seriously ill children with undiagnosed conditions of febrile disease deserve an aggressive evaluation for miliary tuberculosis, including an epidemiological survey, serial chest roentgenograms, and extensive, repeated culturing. 相似文献

Prolonged fever in children: review of 100 cases. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
One hundred children admitted to a hospital over a six-year period with temperatures over 38.5 C for longer than two weeks and of undetermined etiology are reviewed. Fifty-two were infectious (21 presumed viral), 20 collagen-inflammatory, 6 malignancy, 10 miscellaneous, and 12 discharged undiagnosed. Children less than 6 years were more likely to have an infectious etiology while 80% of collagen-inflammatory disease occurred in the group older than 6. The overall mortality (9%) was not age-related. Careful history and physical examinations were helpful but the usual laboratory data (CBC, urinalysis, X-ray) were notably disappointing; however, sedimentation rates and serum protein electrophoresis were often reliable screening tests. Biopsy and laparotomy were less frequently done but when performed yielded productive information. Unusual presentations of common diseases comprised the majority of childhood fevers. 相似文献

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is responsible for a small proportion of acute respiratory infections in children. Nevertheless a high index of suspicion is required because of the potential for rapid progression, the need for antibiotics different to those routinely administered in the treatment of pneumonia, and the high incidence of complications. There are few data from developing countries. The objective of this retrospective review was to document the natural history of primary staphylococcal pneumonia at Red Cross Childrens' Hospital in Cape Town over a 7-year period (1989-1995). Staphylococcal pneumonia was defined as acute pneumonia with microbiological evidence of S. aureus or with characteristic radiological features. One hundred patients were identified. The median age was 5 months, 78 patients being below one year of age. Cough and fever were present in almost all patients at the time of presentation. Tachypnoea, recession, dullness, and crepitations were commonly elicited signs. Initial chest radiographs revealed empyema, pleural effusion, or pyopneumothorax in 67 patients. A further 26 patients developed such changes on subsequent chest radiographs. Pneumatocoeles were identified in 37 patients--most of these were only noted on radiographs taken some days after admission. Microbiological confirmation was obtained in 92 cases. S. aureus was isolated in 23/98 blood cultures, 62/67 pleural aspirates, and from tracheal aspirates in 16 cases. Intercostal drains were inserted in 67 cases and 20 children underwent thoracotomy. The case fatality rate was 7 per cent. This study shows that primary staphylococcal pneumonia is chiefly a disease of infants. Symptoms and signs were similar as for other forms of acute pneumonia, although in the majority of cases chest radiographs taken at the time of admission suggested the diagnosis. Treatment with antibiotics and drainage of empyema resulted in a good outcome in the majority of cases. 相似文献

Meningococcal infections in children: a review of 100 cases 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
One hundred children with meningococcal infection diagnosed from January 1, 1985, to February 29, 1988, were reviewed. Clinical manifestations ranged from fever alone to fulminant septic shock with purpura fulminans. Twenty-nine percent of the children presented without skin lesions. Of the 55 patients with meningitis, 6 lacked cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities on initial lumbar puncture but cerebrospinal fluid cultures were positive. An overall case fatality rate of 10% was noted with the following poor prognostic indicators identified: hypothermia; seizures or shock on presentation; a total peripheral white blood cell count less than 5000/mm3; a platelet count less than 100,000/mm3; and the development of purpura fulminans. Meningococcal infections remain an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Infections caused by Neisseria meningitidis (including meningitis) should be considered even in the absence of skin lesions or cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities. 相似文献

Fluoride ingestion in children: a review of 87 cases 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

All cases of fluoride ingestion in children younger than 12 years old reported to the Rocky Mountain Poison Center between January 1 and December 31, 1986, were retrospectively reviewed. Eighty-seven cases were identified. Eighty-four cases involved accidental ingestion of dental fluoride products in the home (tablets, drops, rinses) in children 8 months to 6 years old. Two older children (8 and 9 years old) became symptomatic after fluoride treatment by a dentist. A 13-month-old child died after ingesting an unknown amount of sodium fluoride insecticide, the only insecticide exposure in our series. Postmortem total serum calcium value was 4.8 mg/dL (normal 8.8 to 10.3). No other patients had serious symptoms or sequelae. Twenty-six (30%) of 87 became symptomatic, with gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain) in 25 patients and drowsiness in 1. Only 3 patients became symptomatic later than 1 hour after ingestion. Analysis of data from 70 cases with sufficient information revealed that as the amount of fluoride ingested increased, the percentage of patients with symptoms increased. Not including the fatal case, 6 patients had serum calcium levels measured, and all were normal. Children who ingested up to 8.4 mg/kg of elemental fluoride in dental products had mild and self-limited symptoms, mostly gastrointestinal. 相似文献

The clinical and laboratory features of 68 children with food intolerance or food allergy are reviewed. Young children were affected the most with 79% first experiencing symptoms before age 1 year. Forty-eight (70%) children presented with gastrointestinal symptoms (vomiting, diarrhoea, colic, abdominal pain, failure to thrive), 16 (24%) children with skin manifestations (eczema, urticaria, angioneurotic oedema, other rashes), and 4 (6%) children with wheeze. Twenty-one children had failed to thrive before diagnosis. A single food (most commonly cows'' milk) was concerned in 28 (41%) cases. Forty (59%) children had multiple food intolerance or allergy; eggs, cows'' milk, and wheat were the most common. Diagnosis was based on observing the effect of food withdrawal and of subsequent rechallenge. In many children food withdrawal will mean the use of an elimination diet which requires careful supervision by a dietician. Laboratory investigations were often unhelpful in suggesting or confirming the diagnosis. 相似文献

A retrospective and prospective analysis is reported of epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic aspects of 33 children with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who were treated in a single institution over a period of 10 years. Twenty-three male and 10 female children ranging from 9 to 17 years were referred to our center. Histopathology was WHO type 3 carcinoma in 21, WHO type 2 in 8, WHO type 1 in 1, and unclassified in 3 patients. Disease extent was T2a (n = 15), T2b (n = 2), T3 (n = 11), and T4 (n = 5); N1 (n = 5), N2 (n = 12), and N3a (n = 16). Five patients had base of skull invasion. Four patients had M1 disease on admission. Four patients were treated with irradiation only. Three patients received neoadjuvant, 4 patients received adjuvant, and 22 patients received neoadjuvant + adjuvant chemotherapy in addition to radiotherapy. Patients received 50-72 Gy to the primary tumor and involved nodes and 45-50 Gy to uninvolved regions. Chemotherapy consisted of combinations of cisplatin, fluorouracil or Adriamycin, vincristine, and cyclophosphamide. Twenty-nine patients (88%) attained locoregional control. Overall, 10 patients died with progressive disease or infectious complications, and 2 patients are still receiving therapy. Three patients are still living with multiple metastases and stable disease. Eight patients were lost to follow-up. Twelve patients are alive without relapse 3 and 63 months from diagnosis. Seven patients had 6 relapses at distant and 1 relapse at local site. The median time for first relapse was 8 months. Overall, the 5-year survival rate was 63% and disease-free survival rate was 53%. Although the locoregional control rate is high, long-term survival rates will be the real test of the impact of chemotherapy. Further studies are needed to confirm the optimal combination of effective chemotherapeutic agents and radiotherapy. 相似文献

Forty-two episodes of culture-proved salmonellosis were found retrospectively among 2,262 patients treated for malignant diseases at St Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis. These cases were reviewed in an effort to determine whether Salmonella infections in childhood cancer patients are associated with an increased frequency of septicemia and death, as has been reported for adults with cancer. Septicemia occurred in only 10% of the patients studied, consistent with the frequency established in general populations. There were no deaths attributable to Salmonella infection. Most of the patients (57%) with salmonellosis had gastroenteritis, and the clinical course of this syndrome was no more severe or prolonged than that seen in otherwise normal children. We recommend that management of Salmonella infections in children with cancer follow presently accepted guidelines for normal hosts. 相似文献

Fifty-four children from the Jerusalem area were studied prospectively following scorpion envenoming. Their ages ranged from 11 months to 10 years. Severe symptoms (convulsions, brain oedema, shock, respiratory distress and myocarditis) were encountered in 19. Respiratory distress was the main feature in 17 of the children, in two cases owing to pulmonary oedema and in a third because of adult respiratory distress syndrome and myocarditis; mechanical ventilation was required in three cases. The severity of the symptoms and signs was not related to sex, age, weight, interval between scorpion sting and admission or to the type of offending scorpion; it was most likely dependent upon the susceptibility of the individual and/or the dose of venom injected by the scorpion. Intravenous antivenom quickly reversed the symptoms, and no side-effects were seen in the patients studied. The two patients who died had not received the antivenom intravenously. We recommend that specific antivenom should be given intravenously in all children who show significant symptoms. Furthermore, a longer period of observation is necessary following scorpion sting in this age group. 相似文献

Peritoneal tuberculosis is an uncommon presentation of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis in children. It usually presents as ascites, abdominal pain, anorexia and weight loss. CASES REPORT: We report two adolescent patients who presented with ascites, fever, weight loss and abdominal distension. In one case, the diagnosis was late, and confirmed by ascites culture. In the second case, a laparoscopy was performed and showed whitish nodules involving the entire abdominal cavity, compatible with peritoneal tuberculosis, later confirmed bacteriologically. CONCLUSION: Peritoneal tuberculosis presents with nonspecific symptoms. Because laboratory investigations may not be helpful, diagnosis may be difficult. Peritoneal-fluid adenosine deaminase (ADA) determination and coelioscopy seem to be the best way to make a rapid diagnosis. 相似文献
