In addition to severe thrombocytopoenia, initial investigations show the presence of neutropoenia and signs of immune-mediated haemolysis (positivity of the direct antiglobulin test). This raises the suspicion of Evans syndrome, since this syndrome is characterized, according to the current definition, by the destruction of at least two medullary cell lines in the absence of other diagnoses. Evans syndrome in many cases can be secondary to various pathological conditions. Investigations are carried out in the infectious, immunological, rheumatological and genetic fields, and lead to the identification of a mutation that is one of the causes of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). So, on that ground, it can be affirmed that the present case of Evans syndrome is secondary to CVID.","PeriodicalId":198715,"journal":{"name":"Medico e Bambino pagine elettroniche","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123850274","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}

Study design - Within the NASCITA birth cohort, in addition to the family paediatrician’s clinical evaluation, the M-CHAT-R was completed by parents to assess the child’s language, social skills, behaviour, and sensory areas. Parents were also asked to complete the PSI-SF to verify the magnitude of stress in the parent-child system. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the association between child and parental characteristics and the presence of warning signs. Results - The follow-up assessment was completed for 435 infants: 69 (15.8%) presented warning signs: 43 in the paediatrician’s assessment and 36 in the M-CHAT-R (10 in both). A total of 16 children (14 with warning signs) received a diagnosis after a specialist evaluation. Being male (OR = 2.42, 95% CI: 1.20-4.86) and having sleep disorders (OR = 2.48, 95% CI 1.19-5.71) was associated with a greater likelihood of warning signs in the multivariate analysis, while reading aloud was a protective factor (not exposed versus exposed, OR = 3.14; 95% CI 1.60-6.17). For 73 children (18.4%), at least one parent tested positive for PSI-SF. An increased prevalence of parental distress was observed in children with warning signs (OR 2.36, 95% CI 1.27-4.37). Conclusions - Integrating physician and parental perspectives during well-child visits and in clinical practice appears feasible and can improve the identification of children at risk of developmental disorders.","PeriodicalId":198715,"journal":{"name":"Medico e Bambino pagine elettroniche","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131724720","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}
