[Visceral leishmaniasis in childhood (author's transl)].

Authors present six cases of kala-azar in children under six years of age observed in the province of Seville, during a three year period. Ethiologic, clinical, evolutive and therapeutic aspects of this illness are analized. Two of the patients presented jaundice, in which a liver-spleen scan was performed and nothing else but the hepato-splenomegaly was found, as it was described in a previous case. Importance of visualizing leishmanias by bone marrow puncture for a true diagnosis is remarked.

[Dehydration in the infant. Revision of 100 cases. Epidemiologic, clinical and biochemical aspects (author's transl)].

A retrospective study of 100 dehydrated children with ages between 0 and 18 months is presented. Ecologic, epidemiologic, clinical and biochemical aspects are revised, as the first part of a series. Relating facts to distribution according with ages and etiology in cases of bacterial diarrhea are similar to other authors. Hypertonic dehydration caused by concentrated nutrition of feeding is prominent, in tight relation with children in low socioeconomically groups. 31% of children had natremia between 150 and 160 mEq/I; and 16% over to 160 mEq/I. Hypocalcemia during rehydration was rarely observed.

[Familial erythrophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (author's transl)].

A four-year old boy with familial erythrophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is reported. The clinical picture was that of prolonged fever, hepato and splenomegaly, adenopathies and, in the terminal state, bleeding tendency and sligth jaundice. The laboratory data showed anemia, leucopenia and abnormal coagulation studies compatibles with disseminated intravascular clotting. The differential diagnosis with malignant histiocytosis is attempted from a histological point of view.
