摘要:

The role of Helicobacter pylori in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer disease, gastritis and gastric malignancy is an area of intense investigation. The epidemiology of H. pylori suggests that the initial infection may occur in childhood. Although there is a strong association between H. pylori infection and peptic ulcer disease in children, the importance of H. pylori in the production of non-specific recurrent abdominal pain and the appropriate approach to therapy remain controversial.

摘要:

Varicella (chickenpox) is usually a benign, self-limiting illness, but serious complications and deaths do occur even in previously healthy children. The use of acyclovir in the treatment of varicella, and the recent introduction of a live attenuated vaccine for its prevention, have both generated considerable debate. Recent developments are reviewed in this article.

摘要:

Cryptosporidium parvum is emerging as an important and problematic cause of diarrhea throughout the world. The lack of effective treatment or prophylaxis make the study of this organism a high priority. This review outlines the most recent developments in the understanding of cryptosporidiosis, especially with regard to pathogenesis, the immune response to infection, and the contribution of host factors to the symptoms of the disease. New paradigms of drinking water treatment and improved understanding of the immunopathogenesis of cryptosporidiosis are key to the control of this important emerging protozoal disease.
