AbstractIn a study of intestinal parasites in 697 Aboriginal children under the age of 6 years in South‐west Australia,Giardia lambliawas recorded in 26% andHymenolepis nanain 13.9%.G. lambliainfections occurred above 4 months of age, andH. nanainfections above 18 months of age. There was a close correlation between infection with these two species (X2,P<0.001).Campylobacter jejuni, the predominant bacterial species recorded, was isolated in 2.3%, and was related to bowel symptoms in one child.G. lambliawas more prevalent in the country areas than in the Perth metropolitan area (X2,P<0.05.H. nanawas more prevalent in children whose weight was below the third percentile (X2,P<0.02), and in those with diarrhoea (X2,P<0.01). There were strong correlations between low weight (below third percentile), a history of recent diarrhoea, and discharging ear

摘要:

AbstractFrom a sample of 818 children, 211 were involved in 256 separate incidents which resulted in 283 injuries requiring medical attention. The most common injuries were lacerations, abrasions and contusions, fractures, concussion, and sprains. The majority of the injuries were minor. The most common incident resulting in injury was a fall, followed by incidents where the child struck against or was struck by an object or persons and incidents involving sharp objects. The nature and circumstances of the serious injuries is presented in detail. Methods of improving the description and the classification of childhood injuries and some incidents worthy of further investigation are discussed.

摘要:

AbstractDuring a 20 year period 214 patients had been admitted to a teaching hospital with a diagnosis of definite or possible juvenile chronic (rheumatoid) arthritis (JCA). Eighty‐seven of these patients were reviewed clinically and were classified as having had JCA. Twelve of the 214 patients were later thought to have had rheumatic fever, while 12 had had an illness consistent with viral arthritis.There was a poor functional outcome in three subgroups of JCA: (i) seropositive polyarticular onset, (ii) systemic onset, and (iii) pauciarticular onset, extending to polyarticular involvement.The prevalence of inflammatory eye disease was very low with no significant visual handicap detected in patients in this stud

摘要:

AbstractClose to 40% of children admitted to Princess Margaret Hospital with mumps over the period 1979 to 1982 were diagnosed retrospectively as a result of virological tests and their illness was not coded as being due to mumps. This clinical underestimate of the incidence of mumps is due to the frequent absence of salivary gland enlargement, especially in preschool children. In such cases there is usually evidence of inflammation of the upper respiratory tract. The main clinical features leading to admission were neck stiffness, fits and high fever. An appropriate adjustment was made to the figures obtained from the computerised data on discharges with the diagnosis of mumps from Western Australian hospitals in 1981. This led to the estimate that 104 patients suffering from mumps were discharged from hospital during that year. It was also estimated that mumps was responsible for 379 in‐patient days. Our findings show that the benefit cost ratios for mumps immunization of others are underestimate

摘要:

AbstractSodium dichromate ingestion in children is uncommon and potentially lethal. The most appropriate management is uncertain because of the lack of sound data contained in the few reports of successfully treated patients. Immediate treatment should include urgent induction of emesis, administration of ascorbic acid as an antidote, followed by supportive treatment.
