BACKGROUND: Despite constant improvements in caring for critically ill neonates and infants with congenital cardiac disease, sepsis, bone marrow and solid organ transplantation, acute renal failure (ARF) is an important problem in these children. ARF, severe fluid overload and inborn errors of metabolism are some of the indications for acute dialysis in infants and children. METHODS: The authors had retrospectively evaluated the medical records of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Ankara University School of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey patients who had required acute renal replacement therapy between the dates of January 2002 to February 2005. RESULTS: Medical records of 332 patients were reviewed. Acute renal replacement therapy was performed in 21 patients (6.3%; mean age, 9.6 +/- 7.4 years). Dialysis modalities were peritoneal dialysis in 15 patients (71.4%; mean age, 3.9 +/- 5.6 years) and hemodialysis in six patients (28.6%; mean age, 12.1 +/- 3.2 years). A total of 90% of patients had severe systemic disease leading to ARF. A total of 95% of patients had multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The most common cause of ARF was refractory shock. At the beginning of renal replacement therapy, 10 patients were anuric, nine patients had volume overload, seven patients had decompensated metabolic acidosis and nine patients had hypotension. The average dialysis period was 4.7 +/- 6.4 days. Mortality rate was 66.7%. Eight patients recovered from ARF and chronic renal failure had developed in one patient. CONCLUSION: In the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, ARF is frequently seen together with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and the mortality rate is high. Both peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis are important renal replacement treatment modalities in patients with ARF. The age and hemodynamic status of the patients are important when choosing treatment modality; generally peritoneal dialysis is preferred in infants and toddler, while hemodialysis is preferred in older children. 相似文献

Myasthenia gravis (MG), a chronic disease characterized by unusual fatigability of voluntary muscles, was first described by Willis. Three forms of MG are seen in childhood: juvenile MG, congenital MG and transient neonatal MG. Aside from age of onset, there is no difference in terms of pathology and pathogenesis between juvenile MG and adult-onset MG.Juvenile MG, like adult MG, appears to result from T-cell-initiated antibodies directed against end-plate Ach receptor protein.The onset of juvenile myasthenia can be insidious, although at times it is rapid, often a sequel to an acute febrile illness. Generally, muscles innervated by the cranial nerves are affected first, with bilateral ptosis being the most common presenting sign. Generalized weakness and dysphagia are less common presenting symptoms, while the clinical course is highly variable. 相似文献

Recurrent Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis in a child with traumatic anterior cranial base defect
TANIL KENDRL BÜLENT ÜNAY FUAT TOSUN BÜLENT HACHAMDOLU RIDVAN AKIN YALÇIN ÖZKAPTAN ERDAL GÖKÇAY 《Pediatrics international》2006,48(1):91-93
Acute bacterial meningitis is a potentially life-threatening infection of the cranial and spinal leptomeninges. Recurrent episodes of meningitis are rarely seen, but when they occur, an extensive investigation has to be made to find out responsible factors. A single episode of acute meningitis may result from bacteriemia, but when followed by recurrent meningitis in pediatric patients, other possible routes of the bacteria invasion to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) should be considered. Patients with head injury have the highest risk of acquiring recurrent bacterial meningitis, followed by patients with a congenital anatomic lesion of the skull or duramater, such as meningomyelocele. The underlying cause is a transdural communication between the meningeal space and paranasal sinuses or skin. The first attack of meningitis may occur several weeks to 12 years after the head injury. In addition, recurrent bacterial meningitis may be due to disorders of the immune system, such as complement deficiency. We report a 14-year-old boy, who suffered from recurrent Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis due to a well-defined defect at the ethmoid roof after a head trauma. 相似文献
