Non-typhoidal Salmonella spp. infections are causative factor of acute gastroenteritis, bacteraemia, subsequent focal infection and the asymptomatic carrier state. Non-typhoidal Salmonella spp. causes clinical symptoms, especially in neonates, infants, aged and immunocompromised patients. We report a case of an 8-year-old immunocompetent male patient admitted to our hospital with an abscess in the left calcaneal region. Swelling and pain in the foot made walking difficult. The patient did not experience injury or any infection, including gastroenteritis. The abscess was surgically drained and the intravenous antibiotic therapy was introduced. Salmonella spp. growth was yielded in the drainage material and the negative-pressure wound therapy with nanocrystalline silver layer was applied. A gradual improvement in the clinical condition was observed. The cause of the abscess remains unknown. It is often difficult to assess the cause of unusual lesions in a patient. Multidisciplinary care is necessary to enhance the effect of the therapy.

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare, autosomal recessive multi-system ciliopathy. Its diagnosis is based on a constellation of characteristic clinical symptoms that appear in childhood, including kidney defects, obesity, retinal dystrophy, polydactyly, intellectual dysfunction, and hypogonadism. We present a case of an 18-year-old girl with a postnatal diagnosis of postaxial polydactyly of the feet and hands and bilateral cutaneous syndactyly of the 2 nd and 3 rd toes, who successively developed most of the typical BBS manifestations. Despite this, the correct diagnosis was made only 3 months before adulthood in our clinic, to which the patient was referred because of suspicion of hypertension. Molecular testing confirmed the clinical diagnosis of BBS (homozygous variant c.619-1G>C in the BBS5 gene). The presented case is an example of a delayed diagnosis of BBS. The main reason was the lack of a comprehensive assessment of the multi-system disorders characteristic of BBS.

Introduction: Genetically determined violation of taste preferences leads to inversion of taste perception and overeating, distorting the homeostatic feedback of the peripheral energy status with hedonic centers, causing obesity. According to previous research the gene TAS2R38 (taste 2 receptor member 38) has the greatest contribution to the development of metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO). Aim of the study was to study the role of the single nucleotide variant (SNV) gene TAS2R38 in the development of MUO in children. Material and methods: 205 obese children 6-18 years old were examined by clinical and laboratory methods, including anthropometric, immunobiochemical, and psychological, using the Food and Beverage Preference Questionnaire (FBPQ) and next-generation sequencing. The main group ( n = 124) consisted of children with MUO, according to the recommendations of the expert group of the IDEFICS, 2014. The control group ( n = 81) consisted of children with metabolically healthy obesity. The following statistical methods were used: analysis of variance, odds ratio, Spearman’s correlation analysis, Wald’s sequential analysis. Results: The level of the mean preference for bitter food in the main group was 2.75 ±0.15 points, while in the control group it was 3.24 ±0.14 points; Student’s test, t = 2.39, p < 0.02. The analysis of food diaries in children showed a positive correlation between the daily rejection of fresh vegetables and the development of MUO ( p = 0.32) with a prognostic coefficient of 2.7; p < 0.05. Three SNVs of the TAS2R38 gene (missense muta-tions) were diagnosed. The probability of detecting the heterozygous C/G variant of the rs713598 genotype of TAS2R38 in the main group was 1.75 times higher than in the control group ( p < 0.05). Conclusions: Low taste preferences for bitter foods are associated with the development of MUO in children. rs713598 (C/G) has the greatest association with the development of metabolically unhealthy obesity among the SNVs of the TAS2R38 gene we have identified.
