Stellenwert der Skelettszintigraphie in der Diagnostik und Verlaufskontrolle des Ewing-Sarkoms
The radiological and scintigraphic findings of 26 patients with histologically proven Ewing's sarcoma were analysed. Three-phase bone scan should be done early in patients presenting with pain and normal radiographs. Perfusion and metabolism of a bone lesion can be assessed by skeletal scintigraphy. Bone metastases are first seen on bone scan. In the follow-up of the patient bone scans at regular intervals are essential to detect bone metastases and tumour recurrence. The scintigraphic findings have to be correlated with radiographs and if these are negative a short-term control is indicated. Three-phase bone scans can assess the tumours response to therapy.
Meningitis bei 154 Kindern einer Kinderklinik in Deutschland: Klinische und epidemiologische Aspekte
In a retrospective study, the histories of the non-neonates treated for primary meningitis in the Pediatric Department of Mainz University Hospital between 1986 and 1989 were analyzed with regard to etiological, diagnostic, clinical and epidemiological criteria. In the period studied there were 37 cases of infectious meningitis (11 Neisseria meningitidis (29.7%), 7 H. influenzae (18.9%), 3 S. pneumoniae (8.1%), 16 other (43.2%)), and 117 cases of acute aseptic meningitis syndrome (12 mumps virus (10.3%), 3 Borrelia burgdorferi (7.7%), 3 FSME (2.6%), 2 herpes simplex virus, 91 other (77.8%)). Sixty-six percent of the patients were male. Of the infants with infectious meningitis, 68% were und…
Lungenfunktion nach Bestrahlung bei pädiatrisch-onkologischen Patienten
Lung function tests were performed in 22 children and juveniles who had received radiotherapy to the lungs, an average of 9.5 years previously, for tumour (14 with Hodgkin's disease [aged 7-22 years], 4 with malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma [aged 6-14 years], 3 with Wilms tumour [4-6 years], and one with Ewing's sarcoma [aged 16 years]). All three patients who, as young children, had had radiotherapy to both lungs because of a Wilms tumour with multiple lung metastases had restrictive disorders of lung function. Four of 12 after treatment of Hodgkin's disease and one of two after malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma and extensive thoracic irradiation developed a restrictive disorder of pulmonary fu…
Diarrhoe bei 1337 Kindern der Universitätsklinik Mainz: Bedeutung von Salmonellen und Rotaviren
In Germany, infectious diseases cause little mortality, but they are responsible for a large proportion of morbidity. In order to obtain data about the relevance of infectious diarrhea, the charts of 1337 outpatients, hospitalized for this disorder in the time between 1986-1989 at the Children's Hospital, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, were analyzed. Sixty-seven percent of patients were younger than one year. An offending organism could be isolated in 42.1% of patients, with Rotaviruses being the leading cause of diarrhea (415 cases), followed by Salmonella spp. (130 cases). Rotavirus-disease was mainly seen in winter, Salmonella-disease in late summer and in autumn. Severe courses of…
