Abstract

Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) is a common childhood illness. It is a disease of relapse and remission with major concern to manage the cases with relapse. Helminthiasis also a common problem in our subcontinent. So, it is very important to find out any relation with helminthiasis and relapse in children. In our study, 88 patients, clinically diagnosed as minimal change nephrotic syndrome, were studied to find out any relationship with helminthiasis and frequent relapse. 36 patients (40.9%) had no helminthic infection, 34 patients (38.6%) had helminthiasis and 18 patients (20.5%) had atopic disorders. 62 patients were successfully followed up for 6 months. Relapses occurred 47.8% (11/23) patients in non-helminthiasis group. 88.5% (23/26) in helminthiasis group and 84.6% (11/13) in atopic group, patients who completed follow up. Thirteen percent (3) patients in non-helminthiasis group, 50% (13) in helminthiasis group and 38.5% (5) in atopic group were found to be frequent relapser. The differences were statistically significant. Pulse Volume 12-14 2020-2022 p.10-12

蛔虫病是反复肾病综合征的诱发因素吗?

肾病综合征(NS)是一种常见的儿童疾病。它是一种复发和缓解的疾病，对复发病例的处理是主要关注的问题。蛔虫病也是我们次大陆的一个普遍问题。因此，了解儿童蛔虫病与复发的关系是十分重要的。在我们的研究中，我们研究了88例临床诊断为微小变化肾病综合征的患者，以寻找寄生虫病与频繁复发的关系。无寄生虫感染36例(40.9%)，有寄生虫34例(38.6%)，有特应性疾病18例(20.5%)。62例患者成功随访6个月。非蛔虫组复发率为47.8%(11/23)。蛔虫组88.5%(23/26)，特应性组84.6%(11/13)完成随访。非蛔虫组有13%(3例)、蛔虫组有50%(13例)、特应性组有38.5%(5例)复发。差异有统计学意义。脉冲体积12-14 2020-2022 p.10-12
