[Fetal pseudohypoaldosteronism: a rare cause of hydramnios].
PHA is a rare cause of hydramnios, characterized by increased amniotic fluid levels of aldosterone and sodium. Two distinct genetic entities (PHA type I and PHA type II) are included. Both are stemmed by a target organ defect with diminished renal tubular responsiveness to aldosterone. The AA present a case in which pregnancy resulted in a preterm infant with severe hydramnios, metabolic acidosis, hyponatriemia, hyperkaliemia. Salt and fluid replacement significantly improved clinical and metabolic condition. However a growth deficiency (-2 SDS) persists at follow-up.

[Male pseudohermaphroditism related to 17-alpha hydroxylase deficiency].
A case of male pseudohermaphroditism with adrenal failure and female external genitalia is described. The hormonal pattern and the clinical evolution of the patient are compatible to a partial 17 alpha hydroxylase deficiency.
[Vaginal infections in a population of diabetic children and adolescents].
The prevalence of vaginal infections has been evaluated in 51 patient affected by insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM) and in a control group of girls matched for age. Most frequent infectious agents were Candida Albicans (42.8%) and Streptococcus B (28.5%). No statistical significant relationship was observed between infection and duration of diabetes nor metabolic control, while the relationship was positive between infection and puberty. The peculiarity of this infection during IDDM is stressed and the difficulties in the infection when caused by Streptococcus B are discussed.

[Evaluation of IGF1 and IGFBP3 during diet therapy in patients with food allergy with complex nutritional risk].
The seric levels of IGF1 and IGFBP3 and their molar ratio, together with clinical and auxological parameters, have been evaluated in 16 patients (8 males and 8 females), of average age of 11.6 +/- 8.66 months, who were suffering from complex food allergy and were subjected to a balanced diet will excluded the "offending" food. The results, compared with those of a control population of same age and body surface, have shown a significative reduction of IGF1 and an increase of the molar ratio IGFBP3/IGF1. These observations suggest that, in spite of no significative variation of growth in height and weight, an exclusion diet for a food allergy can reduce the biological activity of some hormonal factors of growth.
