[Chronic bronchitis in children].

Current approaches to diagnosing in children a group of chronic lung diseases running with the symptoms of chronic bronchitis. Chronic bronchitis is demonstrated to be a major syndrome underlying the clinical manifestations of a number of chronic lung diseases, such as congenital malformations of the lung, chronic pneumonia, ciliary dyskinesia, immunodeficiencies running with the involvement of the lung, cystic fibrosis, etc. The paper shows it necessary to diagnose these conditions, by using various diagnostic studies (bronchological, immunological, biochemical, microbiological, etc.). Primary chronic bronchitis in childhood occurs rarely and it is diagnosed after excluding the above diseases.

[The Zivert-Kartagener syndrome in children].

A comprehensive clinicomorphological examination of 24 children with Zivert-Kartagener syndrome ascertained the complete triad (bronchiectasis, maldevelopment of the sinuses and transposition of the viscera) in all of them. Initial signs of the respiratory affection are shown to arise early. The disease progression depended primarily on the scope of pulmonary damage. Electron-microscopic findings at examination of the patients' tracheal mucosa obtained at bronchoscopy revealed reduced number of ciliary cells and abnormal inner structure of the cilia. The impairment in some patients was focal. The attention is drawn to the benefit of early diagnosis and follow-up for such patients who should be treated surgically after careful consideration of potential risks.

[Frequency of detection of hepatitis B markers in various chronic diseases in children].

Overall 995 children with different somatic chronic diseases were examined for viral hepatitis B markers demonstration using up-to-date highly sensitive methods (hemagglutination inhibition test, EIA). In the control group (children with acute intestinal infections), HBV-infection markers were discovered in 4.3%. Children with diabetes mellitus (13.1%), chronic renal diseases (18.9%), pulmonary diseases (32.8%), bronchial asthma (33.3%) and hemophilia (85.2%) are attributed to the group at greater risk for HBV infection. As a rule, the rate of HBV-infection markers demonstration in chronic somatic diseases was higher in considerable duration of the underlying illness. The overwhelming majority of the children examined had suffered subclinical forms of HBV-infection as shown by the disease history, whereupon they manifested antibodies against HBV antigens. HBs-antigenemia, that persisted for a long time (chronic HBV-infection) was demonstrable far less frequently. The authors provide evidence for the necessity of carrying out a broad-scale screening of HBV-infection markers in the indicated risk groups and vaccination against hepatitis B in children without HBsAG and without immunity to viral hepatitis B. The importance of measures aimed at preventing infections transmitted via blood is emphasized.
