Methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) is a rare disease from the group of hereditary metabolic diseases. The MMA clinical picture is polymorphic and meanwhile similar to other metabolic disorders. Determination of specific metabolites in biological fluids and molecular genetic testing are crucial to diagnose this disease. Timely diagnosis mainly determines the treatment efficacy and, therefore, the prognosis of MMA development. Clinical case description. Two siblings with MMA caused by methylmalonyl-CoA mutase deficiency (OMIM #251000) have shown duplication chr6-49459106-T-TA: NM_000255.4c.360dupT (p.Lys121fs) in homozygous state in exon 2 of the MMUT gene. The disease was diagnosed in the first child with underlying metabolic crisis that finally led to irreversible changes in organs and systems and lethal outcome. The diagnosis in the second child was established antenatally, thus, therapy was initiated from the first day of life. Favorable clinical course of the disease was observed during 5 months of follow-up. Conclusion. Timely MMA diagnosis (antenatal or during neonatal screening) is crucial for effective management and relatively favorable life prognosis for infants.","PeriodicalId":10867,"journal":{"name":"Current pediatrics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141012938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was revealed in 2020 that immunization of children in decreed times in several subjects of Russian Federation was below the standard level. Therefore, monitoring of timely vaccination in children of these regions was relevant. Objective. The aim of the study is to evaluate changes in the timeliness of vaccination in children of two subjects of Russian Federation with low immunization rates according to 2020 data. Methods. Immunization of children born in 2015–2017 and 2020–2022 were studied according to the form of federal statistical monitoring (FFSM) No. 6 and vaccination record cards (form No. 063/y) obtained from children's polyclinics of the Republic of Bashkortostan (two in 2020 and three in 2023) and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (two in 2020 and four in 2023). The vaccination timeliness among children against infections from the national immunization schedule (NIS) list was determined. The timeliness of vaccination was evaluated by the proportion of children who received the required number of vaccine doses against each of the infection from the NIS list by the decreed age among all persons of the decreed age. Results. Data from 998 records was analyzed. The increase in timely vaccination against all vaccine-controlled infections in children was revealed. The proportion of children vaccinated according to the NIS has increased by 1.5–4 times. Timely vaccination of 95% children in the decreed age (by FFSM No. 6) was achieved in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) against tuberculosis, hepatitis B, measles, rubella, and mumps, and in the Republic of Bashkortostan against measles, rubella, and mumps. The increase in the multivalent vaccines’ usage and simultaneous administration of several vaccines has been discovered. Conclusion. Monitoring the level of documented immunization and timely vaccination in children allows effectively control routine immunization quality. Implementation of multivalent vaccines and simultaneous administration of several vaccines in routine immunization provides radical change in the vaccination rate in pediatric population.","PeriodicalId":10867,"journal":{"name":"Current pediatrics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141012202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the clear trend towards infant mortality decrease in our country, there are significant differences in values in some federal districts and regions of Russian Federation. Thus, the assessment of infant mortality rates and health indicators is crucial topic of scientific analysis. Objective. The aim of the study is to investigate selected child health indicators and infant mortality rates in the Chechen Republic. Methods. We have conducted the retrospective cross-sectional study of infant mortality rates, prematurity incidence, infant and newborn morbidity, and mortality of children born sick or got sick. The study was based on the data from official statistics and from the extraction of statistical reporting forms No. 12 and No. 32. Results. The Chechen Republic belongs to the regions with high infant mortality rate, however, it has decreased by 11.6% from 6.9 to 6.1‰ in 2018–2022. The major diseases causing lethal outcomes in infants in this region, and in Russia as a whole, were certain conditions that occur in the perinatal period, and congenital disorders. Meanwhile, mortality from respiratory diseases and some infectious and parasitic diseases exceeded the national average. Prematurity incidence in the republic was 1.5 times lower than the national average, newborns morbidity was 1.7 times lower, infants morbidity was 4.0 times lower. Trend analysis has revealed that prematurity incidence and newborns morbidity have slightly changed over 5 years (+2.2% and –1.0%), while infants morbidity had significant trend (–40.2%). All morbidity rates of children who died at the age under 1 year were significantly lower than the national average for all classes of diseases that are the most common for infants mortality. The mortality rates among children born sick or got sick were on average 5.4 times higher than similar indicators in Russia. The highest mortality rate was observed among children who died from perinatal conditions, congenital disorders, external causes, and some infectious and parasitic diseases. The level of the maternal and child health service performance was 0.44 on average over the 5-year interval, that corresponds to the average level of efficacy. Conclusion. This study has allowed to reveal that there is an urge to improve the organization of medical care for infants in the Chechen Republic.","PeriodicalId":10867,"journal":{"name":"Current pediatrics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141012967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Psoriasis and vitiligo are chronic, relatively common dermatological diseases. Meanwhile, their combination in children is rare. The combination of psoriasis and vitiligo in a child with Sotos syndrome has not been previously described. Clinical case description. The boy, 10 years old, was hospitalized with complaints (according to his mother) of rashes on the scalp, body, and limbs, with mild itching that was not related to the time of day. The pathological skin process was widespread. The patient was hyperactive, restless, emotionally labile, irritable. Complaints of rashes was mentioned firstly at the age of 7. Sotos syndrome was established at the age of 8 (variant c.6559C>T (p.Arg2187Ter) in 23 exon of the NSD1 gene (5q35.3), autosomal dominant type of inheritance (pathological allele de novo)). Psoriasis vulgaris was diagnosed with secondary vitiligo (localized form) at the age of 8.5 years. Symptomatic antipruritic and external pathogenetic therapy was performed in the hospital. Phototherapy was not prescribed due to the relative contradiction (small retrocerebral cyst) and the peculiarities of major disease (hyperactivity, restlessness) that complicated to place the child in the phototherapy booth. Positive dynamics was noted during the treatment (14 days): no itching, decrease of peeling severity, flattening and blanching of psoriatic rash elements to spots of post-inflammatory hypopigmentation. The lesion (focus of depigmentation) on the right knee joint skin remained unchanged. The patient was discharged to outpatient care. The prognosis for Sotos syndrome and skin lesions is favorable. Conclusion. The first medical observation of the child with Sotos syndrome burdened with psoriasis and vitiligo is presented. The pathogenetic correlation of these diseases is not clearly defined. Management of such cases requires the joint collaboration of dermatologists, geneticists and pediatricians.","PeriodicalId":10867,"journal":{"name":"Current pediatrics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141011338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The issues of early diagnosis of cystic fibrosis, management of newborns with meconium ileus and negative neonatal screening for immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT), as well as IRT decrease causes and mechanisms in patients with meconium ileus require further study. Clinical case description. Routine ultrasound examination at the 33rd week of gestation has shown signs of colon obstruction and meconium peritonitis in the intrauterine child. Surgical treatment of peritonitis was performed urgently on the 1st day after birth. The child was on mechanical ventilation from the 1st day of life. The child has shown signs of intrahepatic cholestasis with direct hyperbilirubinemia (up to 100 μmol/L) and signs of hemorrhagic syndrome (bleeding from injection sites) on the 8th day of life. Negative IRT blood test was received (21.6 ng/mL, normal value < 70 ng/mL) on the 10th day. The fecal elastase concentration was 45 μg/g (normal value > 200 μg/g) (on the same day). Sweat tests were performed on the 21st and 23rd days of life. They have shown high levels of sweat chlorides (112 mmol/L in both samples, normal value — 30–59 mmol/L). The diagnosis of «cystic fibrosis» was established, thus, dornase alfa (dosage — 2.5 mg/day) was added to the therapy. Conclusion.
