[Reye's syndrome in Spain, 1980-1984 (A cooperative study: Pediatric Intensive Care Section of the Asociación Española de Pediatría)].

The incidence of the Reye syndrome in Spain has been retrospectively reviewed from 1980 to 1984. A survey of 57 cases has been available to study. It is pointed out the low frequency (0.12/10(5) 15 years); the low mean age (12 month) due to a higher prevalence in infants; the high mortality rate (49%), proportional to the great number of III and IV Lovejoy's stages; the low correlation with chicken-pox and salycilate-intake in the prodromic period and a better prognosis in patients when barbituric coma was established along with other measures.

[Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in childhood. Report of 3 cases and review of the literature].

Three infants with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) are reported. Two cases belong to infants died with AIDS; one of them have as infection source multiple transfusions of blood during the neonatal period and the other case was an haemophilic children transfused several times with commercial factor VIII. The third case belong to an infant, four months old, with AIDS-related complex, born of mother intravenous drug abuser. The authors comments some characteristics about pediatric AIDS and the present problems.

[Trisomy 9p. Apropos of 2 cases].

Two cases of trisomy 9p are presented. The different cytogenetic mechanism given in these cases shows us that with independence of it, it exists a triplication of the half distal short arm of chromosome 9 which gives specificity to these phenotypic features. It might be a possible meiotic origin of the chromosomic rearrangement on both translocations, the formation of satellited chromosomes and isochromosomes of the short arm on chromosome 9 and the consequently wrong segregation of each one of them. The non-existence of chromosomic material with activity in the transcription, confers to both situations the category of a pure trisomy 9p. The prenatal diagnosis through amniocentesis might be useful, even in the so called "de novo" cases, in order to avoid the repetition of this kind of structural aberration or some others that could appear due to fragility of certain chromosomic regions.

[Yersinia enterocolitica septicemia in a thalassemic girl].

We report a four-year-old girl, previously splenectomized because of thalassemia major, who was admitted with gastroenteritis, abdominal pain and high grade fever. At laparotomy she was found to have appendicitis and mesenteric adenitis. Blood and stool cultures grew yersinia enterocolitica. Clinical course was favourable under Ampicillin-Gentamycin treatment. The importance of iron metabolism in the pathogenesis of yersinia sepsis is stressed, being this topic reviewed.

[Progressive myositis ossificans. Report of a case and results of treatment with disodium etidronate].

A new case of myositis ossificans progressiva is described. Authors emphasize the possibility of early diagnosis because there are characteristic malformations in this condition. Treatment with disodium etidronate (EHDP), proposed by some authors, had no clear benefit. Management of patients must concentrate on avoidance of exacerbating factors--muscle traumas--, physiotherapy and adequate psychotherapy.

[Camptomelic dysplasia associated with true hermaphroditism].

Authors present a new case of campomelic dysplasia associated to true hermaphroditism. Clinical and radiological findings are described. Ethiopatogenical factors are widely discussed, and special correlation between campomelic dysplasia and sexual reverse, is noted, according to new concepts on H-Y antigen. Differential diagnosis with neonatal chondrodystrophies associated with respiratory distress and congenital incurved extremities are also reviewed.

[Acute Campylobacter jejuni gastroenteritis in children. Study of 23 cases].

Twenty-three cases of acute Campylobacter jejuni (CJ) enteritis were studied over à 8 month-period in hospitalized children. 906 fecal cultures were collected during the same period from children aged 1 month to 14 years. CJ was isolated in 33 (3.6%). The authors analyse the epidemiologic, pathogenic, clinical and therapeutic aspects of the disease in the 23 hospitalized children. After Salmonella, CJ is one of the most frequent etiologic agents for bacterial acute enteritis; its pathogenic mechanism is that of an invasion, mainly enteric. The clinical picture consists of diarrhea, fever and abdominal pain, difficult to assess accurately in young children. The disease is usually limited to the digestive tract and recovery occurs without antibiotic therapy.

[The Aicardi syndrome].

The authors present a case of a girl who showed flexion spasms, chorio-retinopathy and agenesis of corpus callosum, an association known as the Aicardi syndrome. They have made a wide revision of the literature, examining in detail the clinical aspects and diagnosis with other malformations and infections. Lastly, they comment the aspects of etiology and pathology of the disease which still remain unclear.
