Pseudoinfectious mononucleosis: a presentation of Bartonella henselae infection
No full textSix children presented during one year with clinical features of infectious mononucleosis, but with laboratory findings of leucocytosis with neutrophilia, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and hypergammaglobulinaemia. Serology for Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, and Toxoplasma gondii was negative, while anti-Bartonella henselae IgM with high IgG titre (>/=1/1024) was present in all. All children had contact with kittens. No specific treatment was administered and all recovere
Muscle thickness in infants with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
No full textAbstract
Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is the most common abdominal abnormality requiring surgery in infants. It occurs due to the hypertrophic and hyperplasia of the muscular layers of the pyloric. The usual age of clinical presentation is about three weeks of life. The most important symptom is non bilious emesis, intermittent or after each feeding. From march 1996 to June 2001, 21 infants, 20 males and 1 female, were subjected to ultrasonographic, radiographic exams and after diagnosis to the pyloromyotomy extramucosa. Ultrasonography was the study of choice used to identify hypertrophic pyloric stenosis; the markers to analyse were the length and the overall diameter of the pyloric canal and the muscle thickness of the wall. The results showed that a length of the pyloric canal 20 +/- 6 mm, a diameter 13.6 +/- 2.5 mm and a muscle thickness 4.1 +/- 1 mm are diagnostics for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
