ABSTRACT
Glycation of purified preparations of amino acids, hemoglobin and albumin has been studied. The content of glycated blood proteins in children with different diseases (diabetes mellitus, thyroid gland function disturbances, obesity, neurodermititis) has been determined. Application of the protein glycation for diagnosis and prediction of diseases is proved to be expedient.

A clinical case with a rare dermatosis of children, papillary pigmented dystrophy of the skin, is reported. Clinical and morphological picture of the disease is fairly typical and is not difficult to diagnose; however since the condition is very rare, it is often misdiagnosed. This dermatosis runs a benign course in children, but the patients should be followed up on an outpatient basis.
