Viruses are widespread in the human population and infect more than 90% of the world's population. The study of diseases caused by HV is an important scientific and clinical problem due to their specific affinity for cells of the immune system, lifelong persistence in the human body and a wide range of clinical forms of diseases. Molecular genetic analysis of the interaction of different types of HV with the immune system of the mother, fetus, newborn, child and adult explains the variety of disorders and clinical manifestations of the infection. Each of the 8 types of HV has a different affinity for target cells, does not have a cross-immune response, is capable of combined contamination and, possibly, reactivation, the formation of a wide range of somatic, including organ, disorders at different periods of development of a child and an adult. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a significant contributor to the burden of cancer and autoimmune diseases, which poses a major public health threat. These disorders demonstrate molecular possibilities for targeted therapies, antiviral agents, immune and cell therapies. The article represents an up-to-date review on the main immune mechanisms of the interaction of HVs with the body of the mother and the child and new technologies for studying HV-infections.","PeriodicalId":39654,"journal":{"name":"Pediatriya - Zhurnal im G.N.

The purpose of this research was to study the clinical efficacy and safety of the La Roche-Posay Lipikar Syndet AP+ and Lipikar AP+M cosmetic products for the prevention of AD exacerbations in children during the flowering season. Materials and methods used: a single-center prospective experimental randomized comparative open study was conducted in Apr. 22-Jul. 11, 2022. The study included 19 children aged 6 to 15 y/o with AD sensibilized to pollen allergens. The two groups were formed: patients in the main group used Lipikar for 28 days and received standard AD therapy during the flowering period; patients in the control group received the standard AD therapy only. The severity of AD was evaluated with the SCORAD as well as the quality of life, pruritus intensity and corneometry were assessed during each of the three visits to pediatric allergologists. Changes in SCORAD were considered the primary endpoint of the research. Results: a statistically significant decrease in SCORAD were revealed by the 14th day of the study (p=0.007) in the main group; whilst at the same time there were no statistically significant decrease in SCORAD in the control group. It was also found that the quality of life improved statistically significantly by the 28th day of the study (p=0.001) in patients of the main group when evaluated the secondary endpoints of the study. The pruritus intensity decreased statistically significantly (p=0.002) by the 14th day of the study; the skin hydration increased (p=0.001) as well (compared to the control group). Conclusion: the use of the Lipikar Syndet AP+ and Lipikar AP+M in children in the complex therapy of AD during the flowering season of causally significant allergens statistically significantly reduced the severity of AD, reduced the pruritus intensity, improved skin hydration and quality of life.","PeriodicalId":39654,"journal":{"name":"Pediatriya - Zhurnal im G.N.

Factors influencing the prevalence of BF were studied during the research. The analysis of data concerning the socio-demographic status of mothers and their observation during pregnancy in the antenatal clinic was carried out. Results: it was found out that the prevalence of exclusive BF was statistically significantly negatively affected by the period of breastfeeding after childbirth (p=0.005), repeated supplementary feeding with an infant formula in the maternity hospital (p<0.001), mother’s attitude to the fact of supplementing the infant with the formula (p=0.005): “calm” vs. “negative” (p<0.001), mother’s impression of insufficient lactation during the stay in the maternity hospital (p<0.001), lack of counseling of the mother about a possible temporary decrease in breast milk (BM) volume (p=0.022) as well as of the ways to increasing the BM volume (p<0.001). The later discharge from the maternity hospital (on the 5th to 7th days vs. on the 3rd day, p=0.005) as well as the mother’s confidence in the need for breastfeeding upon discharge from the maternity hospital after the child had been supplemented with an infant formula (p<0.001) also had negative impact. The main factor affecting the likelihood of breastfeeding at the outpatient stage was the absence of attempts by a local neonatologist/pediatric physician to returning the child to BF after supplementary feeding with an infant formula in the maternity hospital (p<0.001).

Chronic (lasting over four weeks) wet/productive cough is of particular diagnostic difficulty when it is caused by protracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB). The purpose of this research was to study the etiology, clinical options, X-ray semiotics and comorbid diseases in children with PBB. Materials and methods used: clinical observation and analysis of case histories of 76 children aged starting 4.5 months up to 16 years old with PBB were carried out from Mar. 2017 to Jun. 2022. Research methods: microbiological, radiography and computed tomography (CT) of the chest, bronchoscopy, allergy diagnostics, spirometry. The design of the study was as follows: multicentre, non-comparative, open-label, non-randomized, ambispective pilot study. Results: PBB is more common in boys (57%) aged 3 to 7 y/o (59%) and is rare in infancy (7%). The majority of patients met the clinical definition of PBB (86%) and responded to 2 weeks of antibiotic therapy with amoxicillin/clavulanate (78%). The microbiological diagnosis of PBB was confirmed in 14% of children based on bronchoscopy with microbiological examination of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid or sputum examination. The most common pathogens encountered in BAL, sputum and discharge from the nasopharynx, oropharynx are as follows: S. aureus, M. catarrhalis, H. influenzae and S. pneumoniae. The chest X-ray showed bronchitis changes; the chest CT, which was performed in 10 patients, had showed thickening of the bronchial walls. Bronchial dilatation was found in 3 children, bronchiectasis was found in a single patient. Bronchial asthma was comorbid with PBB, occurred in 22% of PBB cases. Conclusion: it is necessary for a pediatric physician to keep PBB in mind as one of the reasons for chronic wet/productive cough in children in order to correctly and timely diagnose the disease and prescribe its adequate treatment.","PeriodicalId":39654,"journal":{"name":"Pediatriya - Zhurnal im G.N.

Colonization of the URT begins at birth and continues into the first 3 years of a child's life.

The clinical features of the disease are characterized by tachypnea, moist rales/crepitus, retraction of compliant chest areas and delayed weight gain. The disease is diagnosed using the NEHI clinical scale coupled with the computed tomography of the chest organs. The clinical manifestations of NEHI regress as the child grows, but may persist up to the age of 10 y/o. The purpose of the research was to characterize the course of NEHI including the features of COVID-19 and the impact of passive smoking in children below the age of 8 y/o. Materials and methods: a single-center longitudinal study with follow-up observation of 29 patients with NEHI in January 2012 - December 2022 aged 8 months to 8 years old, 21 of which had COVID-19. Results: 20 of 29 patients with a known follow-up have undergone the long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) at home lasting from 2 weeks up to 5.5 years (Me 1 year and 2 months; IQR 6 months - 4.5 years). Bronchial asthma was diagnosed in 2. 8 (28%) were diagnosed with atopic dermatitis, 6 (21%) with mental retardation, 3 (10%) with acute urticaria, and 2 (7%) with allergic rhinitis. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was diagnosed in 7, all requiring LTOT. The frequency of episodes of respiratory infection was maximum in the first 2 years of life, amounting to 16 episodes per 2 years (Me 7; IQR 4 to 10), and the maximum frequency of hospitalizations during this age period was 5 (Me 2; IQR 1 to 2). Children-passive smokers were diagnosed with malnutrition more often (75%, p=0.449) and required LTOT more often (75%, p=0.694), were more often hospitalized (42%, p=0.422). Despite the possible need for LTOT patients with NEHI had COVID-19 in the form of nasopharyngitis in the majority of cases (89%).
