RESUMO
Objective:To investigate endoscopic and clinical characteristics of intestinal Behcet′s disease (BD) in children.Methods:General information, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, imaging examinations and endoscopic characteristics of 14 children with intestinal BD treated in the Department of Gastroenterology, Beijing Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2016 to March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Fourteen children with intestinal BD were recruited, involving 5 males and 9 females with the age of 1 month to 12 years and 11 months [(6.68±3.73) years old], and a median disease course of 6 months.All of them had gastrointestinal symptoms, including 11 cases with abdominal pain, 7 cases with diarrhea and 2 cases with vomiting.Complications of children with intestinal BD included gastrointestinal bleeding, intestinal perforation and stenosis.Extragastrointestinal symptoms included recurrent oral aphthosis in all the 14 cases, fever in 11 cases, skin lesions in 9 cases, vascular manifestations in 8 cases, positive pathergy test in 6 cases, joint manifestations in 5 cases, neurological manifestations in 1 case, and malnutrition in 6 cases.Observed by the endoscopy, lesions were mainly distributed in the distal ileum [61.5%(8/13 cases)]and ileocecal part[53.8%(7/13 cases)], with the main manifestation of ulcer.There were 3 cases with single ulcer and 10 cases with multiple ulcers, including 7 cases with deep and large ulcers.Pathological examinations of endoscopic lesions showed that the main features were mucosa chronic nonspecific inflammation, mucosa chronic active inflammation with ulcer and vasculitis.Conclusions:Clinical manifestations of intestinal BD vary a lot and are non-specific.Some children with intestinal BD may develop severe complications.Endoscopic lesions of intestinal BD have certain characteristics, which contribute to the diagnosis.Gastroenterologists need to be fully aware of intestinal BD.
RESUMO
Objective@#To investigate the antibiotic resistance of Helicobacter pylori(Hp) isolates cultured from endoscopic gastric mucosal samples and influencing factors for antibiotic resistance in children.@*Methods@#From April 2013 to February 2016, Hp cultured from mucosa samples of the gastric antrum and the body of stomach was investigated in 246 patients with 13C breath test positive examined by gastroscopy.Resistance to Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin, Metronidazole, Tetracycline was tested for Hp by using E-test.The clinical data were collected from the patients, and the relationship among age, gender, endoscopic diagnosis, histological performance, eradication number factors and antibiotic resistance rate were analyzed.@*Results@#Of 246 specimens, 174 cases (70.7%) were positive.The overall antibiotic resistance rates of isolates obtained were 96.55% (168/174 cases), 57.47% (100/174 cases), 4.02% (7/174 cases), 1.15%(2/174 cases) with respect to Clarithromycin, Metronidazole, Tetracycline and Amoxicillin.An antibiotic resistance rate was 43.10% (75/174 strains), among which the Clarithromycin resistance rate was 93.33% (70/75 strains), and the Metronidazole resistance rate was 6.67% (5/75 strains). Double resistance rate was of 54.02%(94/174 strains), among which the resistances rate of Clarithromycin+ Metronidazole was 52.30%(91/94 strains), and the resistances rate of Clarithromycin+ Tetracycline was 1.72%(3/94 strains). Triple resistance rate of Clarithromycin+ Metronidazole+ Tetracycline was 1.15%(2/174 strains). Quadruple resistance rate of Clarithromycin+ Metronidazole+ Amoxicillin+ Tetracycline was 1.15%(2/174 strains). Factor analysis showed that the resistance rate of Clarithromycin in children who had failed in eradication therapy [98.7%(148/150 cases)] was higher than that in children who had not undergone eradication therapy [83.3%(20/24 cases)], and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=14.610, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the relationship between Hp resistance to Metronidazole and Clarithromycin and the age, gender, endoscopic diagnosis and histological manifestations(all P>0.05).@*Conclusions@#Hp resistance rate to Clarithromycin, Metronidazole is very high in children, but it is relatively low to Amoxicillin and Tetracycline, and multiple antibiotic resistance is at high prevalence.
