Haemolytic uraemic syndrome in children.

Of the 4070 children admitted in the department of paediatrics, 830 (24%) presented with diarrhoea. Eleven of these had haemolytic ureamic syndrome (HUS) characterised by microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure. Only 3 had positive stool cultures (E. Coli 2, shigella dysenteriae 1). Two children expired while the rest recovered with conservative management and peritoneal dialysis. Thus HUS should be remembered as a complication of diarrhoea and a cause of acute renal failure in children.

Treatment of trichuriasis with a new drug, mebendazole.

Effectiveness of mebendazole, a new anthelminthic drug recommended for treatment of Trichuris trichiura infection, was evaluated in 50 children attending a pediatric outpatient clinic in New York City. Mebendazole, 100 mg. administered orally twice daily for three days resulted in an apparent cure of 48 children. Posttreatment stools of the remaining two children had a substantial reduction in the number of eggs. A second course of treatment, identical to the first, led to the elimination of eggs in the stool specimens of these two children. Mebendazole appears to be an effective drug against Trichuris trichiura.

Tine test compliance in a clinic setting.

Parental compliance in keeping a return appointment for the purpose of having their child's Tuberculin Tine test read was studied in the setting of a large urban pediatric clinic. This compliance rate was found to be 72%. Various factors which could potentially affect compliance with this procedure were examined, and the only factor which correlated significantly was family size. A modified system whereby parents read their child's Tine test in the home setting and reported the test results to the clinic by mail (a method used today in many pediatric outpatient departments) was implemented and evaluated. With this new system, the compliance rate increased to 90%.
