[Otitis media in the child. Follow-up study and control of 104 cases].

The authors report a case-study on 104 children admitted for many reasons to the I Department of Pediatrics of the A. Meyer Hospital in the period 1979-81. During their hospitalization, otitis media was diagnosed in all these cases. The children later underwent two check-ups including otorhinolaryngologic and tympanometric tests and in some cases an audiometric examination. A correlation between otitis media and enlarged adenoids was noticed and the results of the present case-study are compared with other international publications, following the short bibliography.

[Viscera larva migrans syndrome in children: description of a case].

The AA describe a case of Larva Migrans Visceral syndrome in a two year-old boy in systemic form with negative outcome. The autoptic examination showed a "granulomatous hepatitis with marked component of eosinophil cells'. The presence of "eosinophil granuloma' in liver has led to the diagnosis of Visceral Larva Migrans Syndrome; other possible causes of Ipereosinophilous Syndrome have been excluded on the basis of anamnestic, clinic and laboratory data. The discovery in the medical history of frequent contacts with a dog which was affected by a serious toxocara canis infections, has led to the diagnosis of Larva Migrans Syndrome from Toxocara canis.

[Cellular immunity deficiency and chemotaxis deficiency in children with rheumatoid arthritis].

Some immunological parameters have been examined in eleven children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. A quantitative and functional defect in T lymphocytes has been observed associated with defective chemotaxis of neutrophils. High levels of circulating immune-complexes were detected in sera of 5 out 11 patients. 1 patient showed high levels of antinuclear antibodies and positivity for the rheumatoid factor. Immunological pathogenesis of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is discussed.

[Immunological disorders in a patient with Whitaker syndrome (author's transl)].

Some immunological parameters have been examinated in a 13-year-old girl with Whitaker syndrome and in her closest blood-relatives. Absolute and percentage values of T and B lyphocytes were normal, whereas mitogen responsiveness was over normal range before therapy had begun. This phenomen did not appear if the cultures were carried out in presence of autologous serum. Neutrophil function was defective in responsiveness to chemotactic stimulation, but NBT reduction as well as bactericidal activity were normal. Defects both in mitogen responsiveness and chemotaxis have been pointed out in the parents and in the patient's twin brother. The immunologic disorders observed are discussed in the light of the clinical and functional pecularities of Whitaker's syndrome.

[The incidence of the X-linked progressive muscular dystrophies in Tuscany from 1966 to 1974 (author's transl)].

An investigation was carried out to establish the incidence of X-linked progressive muscular dystrophies in Tuscany from 1966 to 1974. 52 cases were identified, the incidence being 23,95 X 10(-5) with reference to live-born males. The frequency of new mutations calculated according to Haldane's method was 7,97 X 10(-6). These data practically correspond to those reported by other AA. in Italy and abroad. There was also a remarkable variability in the incidence among individual districts with values ranging from 7,60 X 10(-5) to 41,91 X 10(-5). It was noticed that the number of new cases tended to decrease in the last few years.
