Parasitic infection of the gut and protein-losing enteropathy.

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.

  • Occult Blood and Perianal Examination: Value Added in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Screening.

    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...
