Background. Niemann–Pick disease type C is a multisystem orphan disease caused by mutations in the NPC1 and NPC2 genes and characterized by clinical polymorphism. The difficulties of managing such patients lie in the diagnosis and differential diagnostic search with other conditions with cholestasis, as well as the initiation of substrate-reducing therapy in young children. Case report. Previously, a case report of Niemann–Pick disease type C, with the manifestation of the disease in infancy and the appointment of off-label pathogenetic therapy was described. The article presents the results of dynamic monitoring of the child on this therapy, its effectiveness and safety. The leading syndromes in the clinical presentation of the disease were cholestasis, cytolysis, hepatosplenomegaly, as well as psychomotor retardation. An extensive differential diagnostic search was conducted with the exception of diseases such as toxic, viral hepatitis, alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, autoimmune liver diseases, aminoacidopathy, Alagille syndrome. Genetic testing on the “Cholestasis” panel revealed a mutation in the NPC1 gene. Biochemical diagnostics showed an increase in the concentration of lysosphingomyelin-509 and increased activity of chitotriosidase in dry blood spots. When sequencing the NPC1 gene by Sanger, the nucleotide substitution chr18:21131617G> A in the homozygous state was detected in the child. At 9 months, by the decision of the medical board, the child was prescribed pathogenetic therapy, the effectiveness of which was confirmed by clinical and laboratory relief of cholestasis, positive dynamics of neurological manifestations, in addition, the drug is satisfactorily tolerated by the patient, despite the preservation of an isolated increase in the level of aspartate aminotransferase. Conclusion. The presented case report confirms the need for a thorough differential diagnostic search with the inclusion of a wide range of diseases with the leading cholestasis for the timely detection of infants with Niemann- Pick disease type C, as well as the importance and effectiveness of early administration of pathogenetic therapy.
背景。尼曼-皮克病 C 型是一种多系统孤儿病,由 NPC1 和 NPC2 基因突变引起,具有临床多态性。治疗这类患者的难点在于诊断和与其他胆汁淤积症的鉴别诊断,以及在幼儿中开始底物减少疗法。病例报告。在此之前,曾有一例 C 型尼曼-皮克病的病例报告,该病在婴儿期就已显现,并采用了标签外的病原学疗法。文章介绍了对该患儿进行动态监测的结果、该疗法的有效性和安全性。该病临床表现的主要综合征是胆汁淤积、细胞溶解、肝脾肿大以及精神运动发育迟缓。除了中毒性肝炎、病毒性肝炎、α-1-抗胰蛋白酶缺乏症、自身免疫性肝病、氨基酸病、阿拉吉尔综合征等疾病外,还进行了广泛的鉴别诊断搜索。对 "胆汁淤积症 "面板的基因检测显示,NPC1 基因发生了突变。生化诊断显示,溶血磷脂酰肌球蛋白-509 的浓度增加,干血斑中壳三糖苷酶的活性增加。用 Sanger 对 NPC1 基因进行测序时,在患儿体内检测到了 chr18:21131617G> A 的同源核苷酸替换。9 个月时,根据医学委员会的决定,对患儿进行了病理治疗,临床和实验室结果证实,胆汁淤积症得到了缓解,神经系统表现出现了积极的动态变化,此外,尽管天冬氨酸氨基转移酶水平仍有个别升高,但患者对药物的耐受性令人满意。结论本病例报告证实,为了及时发现患有尼曼-皮克病 C 型的婴儿,有必要进行全面的鉴别诊断检查,并纳入多种以胆汁淤积症为主的疾病,同时也证实了早期进行病因治疗的重要性和有效性。

Background. Registration of combined trivalent vaccine Vaktrivir (measles-rubella-parotitis) in Russia necessitates studies on its preventive efficacy, safety, immunogenic activity, and post-vaccination responses following the immunization of premature infants. Objective. The aim of the study is to evaluate efficacy, safety, and immunogenic activity of combined trivalent vaccine (measles-rubella-parotitis) and level of post-vaccination responses following the immunization of premature infants. Methods. Experimental studies were conducted to evaluate safety, immunogenicity, and postvaccinal responses after immunization of premature infants with combined within prospective comparative clinical observation. Results. Administration of the combined trivalent vaccine Vaktrivir (measles-rubella-parotitis) in premature infants has shown: no cases of measles, rubella or parotitis among vaccinated persons within prospective clinical observation for 2 years; no disturbances in parameters of clinical blood analysis, biochemical blood count, total IgE, IgA, IgM, IgG (immunogram), or urine analysis among vaccinated children over time; no subjective perceptions, adverse events signs at physical examination among vaccinated compared to baseline parameters; low post-vaccination reactions (6.7%) and similar tolerance of trivalent vaccine Vaktrivir among full-term infants (3.3%) (p = 0.301). Conclusion. Administration of the combined trivalent vaccine Vaktrivir (measles-rubella-parotitis) in premature infants has demonstrated high safety profile and immunogenic properties for measles, rubella and parotitis components, good tolerability, and low post-vaccination responses after immunization, comparable to vaccination of full-term infants.

Readers will be presented with a series of articles on myocarditis in children, which are based on clinical guidelines developed by a group of authors on this topic. Myocarditis is an inflammatory myocardial disease characterized by a wide range of clinical manifestations — from minor to sudden cardiac death. Given the absence of pathognomonic symptoms, as well as the similarity of manifestations in the onset with common childhood diseases such as respiratory distress, gastrointestinal diseases, infectious pathology, specialists often overlook the likelihood of a diagnosis of “myocarditis”, which causes a late start of therapy and an adverse outcome. Considering that myocarditis accounts for 12% of cases of sudden cardiac death in adolescents and young adults, suspicion of this disease in differential diagnosis in children with nonspecific symptoms and disease progression may be the key to the formation of a proper treatment strategy. Despite significant advances in the study of myocarditis in both adults and children, there are still many unresolved issues. The purpose of this article is to highlight the current view of the etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology and clinical features in children with various types of myocarditis in order to increase the knowledge of practitioners for better clinical management of patients with myocarditis.

Hormone-producing ovarian tumors in girls are an actual problem in modern gynecology, which is associated with certain difficulties in managing patients. Firstly, it is worth taking into account the higher anatomical mobility of tumors in girls than in adults, due to the high location of the ovaries, weakness of the ligamentous apparatus and the active lifestyle of the child, which causes a higher incidence of torsion of the volumetric mass in children. Secondly, surgical treatment of hormone-producing ovarian tumors leads to a decrease in ovarian reserve and irreversible consequences in the reproductive health of patients in the future, which is an extremely undesirable complication in childhood. Therefore, methods of fertility preservation should be discussed with girls and their parents. It is also important to note that hormone-producing ovarian tumors have a certain degree of malignancy and a tendency to recur. Thus, the relevance of this topic lies in the complexity of management of pediatric patients with this pathology due to the clinical features of the course and a higher probability of complications. Hormone-producing ovarian masses should also include follicular cysts and corpus luteum cysts, but the above structures are excluded from the discussion in this article.

Background. The COVID-19 pandemic is a global challenge to States and health systems. The pandemic and its consequences can have a devastating impact on the health and development of children, especially those in vulnerable situations — children with disabilities.The aim of the study is a medical and social assessment of the effect of the COVID—19 pandemic and its consequences on families with children with disabilities.Methods. A descriptive study using the Google forms platform was conducted using the cross-sectional method. Two groups of parents of children aged 0–17 years with disabilities (group 1) and without disabilities (group 2) who apply to a medical organization for preventive examinations were interviewed.Results and discussion. A total of 175 electronic questionnaires were received. Parents from 46 regions of Russia participated in the survey. A significant majority of respondents were women — 172 people (98%), 3 men (2%). More than half of the respondents are residents of the megalopolis. The study showed that the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the health and education of children and on the lifestyle and families welfare in general. It was revealed that the financial situation of many families who took part in the study worsened, which affected the living conditions of children. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the health care system was being rebuilt taking into account new tasks to counteract dangerous infection, which was reflected in changes in the provision of medical care to children, and in some cases this led to a deterioration of their health. A significant number of parents who participated in the study believe that changes in the organization of medical care during the pandemic had a negative impact on their child’s health. Among the main health problems, parents highlight delays and cancellations of medical consultations, difficulties in obtaining urgent care and problems with drug provision. Among the main health problems, parents highlight delays and cancellations of medical consultations, difficulties in obtaining emergency care and problems with drug provision. The study shows that families with disabled children have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic to a greater extent than families raising children without chronic health problems. If the deterioration of the financial situation is almost equally revealed in both groups, then problems related to medical care and education have a more noticeable impact on families with a child with a disability. The obtained results should be taken into account in times of new challenges when developing measures of state support for families with children, especially with children with disabilities. At the same time, it is important to pay primary attention to the organization of medical care for children (continuity of planned medical care for the child population and rehabilitation actions) and educational services (providing online learning opportunities for the ch

Vaccination against viral hepatitis B is an effective method of protection against this infection. There is multiple decrease in the hepatitis B incidence. However, there was increase in chronic hepatitis B by 42.5%, 15 cases of acute viral hepatitis B in children and 2 deaths from this infection were registered according to the state report “On the sanitary and epidemiological wellbeing of the population of the Russian Federation for 2022”. The criteria for evaluating protection against viral hepatitis B are the anti-HBs level and the duration of post-vaccination immunity.Objective. The aim of the study is to evaluate the duration of postvaccination immunity in temporal aspect in children and adolescents vaccinated against viral hepatitis B.Methods. Prospective open-label study was conducted to assess post-vaccination immunity against viral hepatitis B in 143 children and adolescents. The study of anti-HBs was implemented via the immunoenzyme test system “Vectohep B-HBs-antigen”. Microsoft Office Excel 2010 package and the Prism9 program (GraphPad, USA) were used for statistical analysis.Results. It has been shown that hepatitis B vaccine provides 100% seroconversion. However, decrease in anti-HBs levels was revealed already 6 months after vaccination in 15.07% of cases of seronegative individuals, after 1 year their number has increased up to 28.77% of cases. On average, every fourth person had low protective level of anti-HBs. Almost two-thirds of adolescents became seronegative by the age of 14.Conclusion. Vaccination against viral hepatitis B ensures the maximum production of anti-HBs 1 month after the completed vaccination in 100% of cases. Antibody level begins to decrease 6 months after the third completed vaccination against hepatitis B, and in 14 years, 72.74% of those immunized become seronegative. All of these dictates the need to consider a booster dose in adolescents at the age of 14 years.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the duration of postvaccination immunity in temporal aspect in children and adolescents vaccinated against viral hepatitis B.Methods. Prospective open-label study was conducted to assess post-vaccination immunity against viral hepatitis B in 143 children and adolescents. The study of anti-HBs was implemented via the immunoenzyme test system “Vectohep B-HBs-antigen”. Microsoft Office Excel 2010 package and the Prism9 program (GraphPad, USA) were used for statistical analysis.Results. It has been shown that hepatitis B vaccine provides 100% seroconversion. However, decrease in anti-HBs levels was revealed already 6 months after vaccination in 15.07% of cases of seronegative individuals, after 1 year their number has increased up to 28.77% of cases. On average, every fourth person had low protective level of anti-HBs. Almost two-thirds of adolescents became seronegative by the age of 14.Conclusion. Vaccination against viral hepatitis B ensures the maximum production of anti-HBs 1 month after the completed vaccination in 100% of cases. Antibody level begins to decrease 6 months after the third completed vaccination against hepatitis B, and in 14 years, 72.74% of those immunized become seronegative. All of these dictates the need to consider a booster dose in adolescents at the age of 14 years.","PeriodicalId":19997,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric pharmacology","volume":"38 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140434153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
