Diseases of children (pediatrics)

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome in children

Stevens-Johnson syndrome develops as a result of drug allergy after taking sulfonamides, tetracycline antibiotics, levomycetin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Symptoms of a drug allergy

Symptoms of drug allergy in children are typical and can manifest themselves in the form of systemic and local reactions: from anaphylactic shock to allergic dermatitis.

Causes of a drug allergy

The causes of drug allergies in children - the use of antibiotics, such as: penicillin, cephalosporins, sulfonamides, B vitamins (thiamine), hormonal medications.

Drug allergy in children began to occur more often in recent years. This is explained by the increase in family predisposition to allergic reactions, the increase in the irrational use of medicines, especially antibiotics.

Pollinosis in children

Pollinosis in children is largely genetically determined by the key pathogenesis - increased IgE synthesis. It has been shown that the ability for increased production of IgE is inherited by a recessive-dominant type and is necessary, but not the only condition for the formation of allergies to pollen of plants.

Atopic dermatitis in children

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic allergic disease that develops in people with a genetic predisposition to atopy that has a recurring course with age-related clinical manifestations and is characterized by exudative and / or lichenoid rashes, an increase in serum IgE level and hypersensitivity to specific (allergic) and nonspecific irritants.

Allergic rhinitis in children

Allergic rhinitis is an IgE-mediated inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa, manifested by a complex of symptoms in the form of sneezing, itching, rhinorrhea and nasal congestion.

Treatment of food allergies

Dietotherapy is the basis for treating food allergies. Breastfeeding with a mother's hypoallergenic diet is optimal for children with food allergies. In the absence of milk from the mother and with allergies to cow's milk, soya mixtures (Alsoy, Bonasoa, Frisoosa, etc.) are used. If soy is intolerant, a mixture based on products of high protein hydrolysis (Alfare, Alimentum, Pepti-Junior, etc.) and partial hydrolysis milk protein (Humana, Frisepep).

Food intolerance in children

Food allergy is food intolerance caused by immunological reactions or by the liberation of biologically Statutory substances in non-immune mechanisms. Food intolerance in children is a broader concept than food allergy

Myelodysplastic syndrome in children

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) (preleukemia, malocellular leukemia) are a heterogeneous group of clonal disorders, characterized by abnormal growth of the myeloid components of the bone marrow. Myelodysplastic syndromes are characterized by a violation of normal maturation of the hematopoietic cells and signs of ineffective hematopoiesis.
