A two-year retrospective survey of cases of mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (MLNS, Kawasaki disease) was conducted by a collaborative research group in Northeastern Italy (Friuli Venezia-Giulia) by reviewing the records of all patients admitted in the paediatric wards of this area from January 1, 1981 to December 31, 1982. 19 cases of MLNS were identified representing an overall incidence in the two-year period of 14.7 cases per 100,000 children younger than 5 years of age. Seasonal clustering of cases was observed, 17 out of 19 cases occurring either in spring or autumn (P = 0.0004, binomial distribution) and 11 out of 19 cases occurring in spring alone (P = 0.0023). No evidence for direct contact between cases or common source exposure emerged, and no risk factors were identified. The clinical spectrum of the disease was similar to that described elsewhere, carditis, uveitis, arthritis and urethritis being the most frequent complications. One infant died, and in this case coronary artery aneurysms were demonstrated by two-dimensional echocardiography. In the remaining cases recovery was complete without sequelae. This study suggests that MLNS is more frequent than expected and that the real incidence of the disease is probably underestimated. The evidence of seasonal clustering of cases strongly suggests the presence of a yet unidentified exogenous factor playing a role in the etiology of the disease. 相似文献

Background
Mercury is a neurotoxic environmental pollutant. However, the literature on the neurodevelopmental effect of low-level prenatal mercury exposure from maternal fish intake is inconsistent. We assessed the association between prenatal mercury exposure and infant neurodevelopment in coastal areas of 4 Mediterranean countries.Methods
This was a prospective cohort study that planned to enroll approximately 1700 mother–infant pairs. Pregnant women and their newborn children were recruited in selected hospitals of the study areas. Biological samples, including maternal hair and cord blood, were collected from mothers and children, and the concentrations of mercury and other elements were measured. Exposures to lifestyle, environmental, and social factors were assessed through questionnaires. The main outcome was child neurodevelopment at 18 months, as measured by the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition.Conclusions
This cohort has a number of strengths. First, mercury concentration was measured in several biological samples, which allows for a better understanding of mercury kinetics and is useful for sensitivity analyses. Therefore, we expect to be able to adjust for the potential confounding effects of lifestyle and social factors and for the effects of other elements that were measured in the biological samples. Finally, this is a multinational study and thus permits assessment of the relation between mercury and child neurodevelopment in different populations.Key words: cohort study, mercury, polyunsaturated fatty acids, nervous system development, fish 相似文献6.

Simplified guidelines for the emergency care of children have been developed to improve the triage and rapid initiation of appropriate emergency treatments for children presenting to hospitals in developing countries. The guidelines are part of the effort to improve referral level paediatric care within the World Health Organisation/Unicef strategy integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI), based on evidence of significant deficiencies in triage and emergency care. Existing emergency guidelines have been modified according to resource limitations and significant differences in the epidemiology of severe paediatric illness and preventable death in developing countries with raised infant and child mortality rates. In these settings, it is important to address the emergency management of diarrhoea with severe dehydration, severe malaria, severe malnutrition, and severe bacterial pneumonia, and to focus attention on sick infants younger than 2 months of age. The triage assessment relies on a few clinical signs, which can be readily taught so that it can be used by health workers with limited clinical background. The assessment has been designed so that it can be carried out quickly if negative, making it functional for triaging children in queues. 相似文献

AIM—To evaluate performance of a simplified algorithm and treatment instructions for emergency triage assessment and treatment (ETAT) of children presenting to hospital in developing countries.METHODS—All infants aged 7 days to 5 years presenting to an accident and emergency department were simultaneously triaged and assessed by a nurse and a senior paediatrician. Nurse ETAT assessment was compared to standard emergency advanced paediatric life support (APLS) assessment by the paediatrician. Sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values were calculated and appropriateness of nurse treatments was evaluated.RESULTS—The ETAT algorithm as used by nurses identified 731/3837 patients (19.05%); 98 patients (2.6%) were classified as needing emergency treatment and 633 (16.5%) as needing priority assessment. Sensitivity was 96.7% with respect to APLS assessment, 91.7% with respect to all patients given priority by the paediatrician, and 85.7% with respect to patients ultimately admitted. Specificity was 90.6%, 91.0%, and 85.2%, respectively. Nurse administered treatment was appropriate in 94/102 (92.2%) emergency conditions.CONCLUSIONS—The ETAT algorithm and treatment instructions, when carried out by nurses after a short specific training period, performed well as a screening tool to identify priority cases and as a treatment guide for emergency conditions. 相似文献
