[Intolerance to cow's milk proteins: cases contribution].

The authors report their own case-report about cow's milk protein intolerance observed in the last seven years in the gastroenterology-department of Pediatric Clinic in Pisa. They underline the symptomatologic polymorphism of the illness and, analysing the laboratory data, point out the absence of absolute diagnostic assurance tests. For this reason they conclude that at the present state the diagnosis of certainty is overall committed to the resolution of the symptomatology after exclusion-diet and following clinic relapse after milk load.

[Celiac disease and cystic fibrosis: casual association?].

The authors describe a case of association cystic fibrosis coeliac disease, which they have observed. The frequency of this association in the general population is of 1:2,000,000. M.A. presents little growth in terms of height and weight and intestinal alterations (an abundance of fatty and mucous stool). The initial diagnosis was that of coeliac disease. After two months of diet without gluten one observed an increase in weight, but o result for the intestinal disturbances. The positive result revealed from the sweat-test and the study of genomic mutation (delta F508) showed the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis associated with coeliac disease. The specific treatment of both syndromes resolved intestinal alterations and caused the diminution of the acute bronchitis frequent during the first and the second infancy.

[Williams-Beuren syndrome and celiac disease].

The authors describe a case of Williams syndrome-Coeliac Disease that they have observed at the age of three years and 10/12. There are few reports in the literature. We focus on the variability of clinical and biochemical aspects of Williams Disease and the necessity for an adequate gastroenterologic follow-up (anti-gliadine antibody and anti-endomisium antibody) in these patients with little growth in terms of weight and height and intestinal alterations present in superior measure in companion with the reported standards for the same syndrome.

[Peutz-Jeghers syndrome].

An observation of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, in a 13 year old girl, provides the Authors with the opportunity of reviewing the clinical features, the natural history and the complications of the disease, mainly the malignancies. In recent reviews the occurrence of cancer was further on investigated: gastrointestinal and non gastrointestinal tumors occurred in 22-48% of the patients examined. The surveillance protocols of the subjects at risk and genetic counseling are discussed.
