Abstract:
:Parasitic infection of the gut is highly prevalent in developing countries and contributes to the severe malnutrition associated with persistent diarrhoea in children. Using random faecal alpha 1-antitrypsin measurements as an index of protein-losing enteropathy, we examined children with and without parasitic infection of the gut. Seventeen percent of children with persistent diarrhoea had evidence of protein-losing enteropathy. This was found to be associated with hypoalbuminaemia in children infected with Strongyloides stercoralis. Only a minority (2 of 17) of children infected with Giardia lamblia had raised faecal alpha 1-antitrypsin excretion and this was not associated with hypoalbuminaemia. This study emphasises the need for rapid diagnosis and treatment of Strongyloides infection in children with persistent diarrhoea and severe nutrition.

杂志文章abstract:OBJECTIVES:Pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) often presents insidiously and standard blood tests are normal in 20% of patients. We hypothesize that fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) and the perianal examination in addition to blood tests provide important information during the screening process for IBD. The a...
