Analysis and interpretation of Coronavirus infection children's incidence, contributing factors, risks of complications and their relationship.

OBJECTIVE: Aim: To study and investigate the incidence of Coronavirus infection in children, the course of the disease, the risks of complications and their interrelationships. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and Methods: Study included the analysis and observation of children (n=55, aged 14.36±3.62 years) with confirmed Coronerovirus infection, who were observed in the CNE ≪CMCH≫ in Uzhgorod in outpatient conditions. A study of clinical presentations, a clinical and laboratory examination followed by a mathematical analysis of the symptoms data in children with an identified Coronavirus infection and in the dynamics up to week 30 (with survey intervals in 3 weeks) from the diagnosis verification was carried out. RESULTS: Results: A dynamic analysis of the clinical manifestation of symptoms in children with an identified Corona virus infection and within 30 weeks (with survey intervals of 3 weeks) from the beginning of the diagnosis verification was carried out. Complaints from the respiratory system were prevailed. The most long-lasting complaint was observed ≪changes in the sense of taste and smell≫ (from 35(63.6%) to 6(10.9%) up to 18 weeks inclusive. Other complaints ≪Cough, Rhinitis, Shortness of breath, Pain in the chest≫ was observed for 6 weeks. Sore throat, muscular and joint pain were persisted for 3 weeks. Fever was not identified at week 3. Illness with other viral respiratory diseases started at week 9 and was observed until week 30 (from 10(18.2%) to 19(34.5%)) with varying levels. A decrease in cases of IgM identification was observed within 6 weeks (from 55, 100% to 20, 36, 4%). On the 9th week, the presence of IgM was not established. There is also an increase in the number of cases of detection of IgG in patients with a level maximum of 6 weeks. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: There is a positive effect of the CRP level on the occurrence of symptoms of cough, rhinitis, shortness of breath, chest pain, change in taste and smell, muscle and joint pain (r=0.33-0.55), with the most significant data for the symptom of pain in chest (p=0.00001). Ferritin level interactions mostly had a negative direction (r=-0.35-0.48, p=0.02-0.00001) on the development of symptoms, with the exception of rhinorrhea (r=0.48, p=0.00002) and chest pains (r=0.39, 0.003). According to multiple logistic regression analysis the chance of the symptom of a change in taste and smell increases due to an increasing in the level of Procalcitonin in 1.48 times. The chance of the symptom of shortness of breath increased due to an increasing in the Ferritin level in 1.025 times.

[Comparative characteristic of functional gastrocerebral disorders in donors and premature infants].

OBJECTIVE: Introduction: Functional gastrocerebral disorders (FGCD) occupy one of the leading places in the structure of diseases of digestive organs in young children. Functional gastrointestinal disorders are accompanied by various combinations of persistent or recurrent gastrointestinal symptoms without structural or biochemical disorders. They can accompany the normal development of the child and depend on organ's disorders on the background of autonomic dysfunction, psycho-emotional and humoral factors. The aim: The aim of the work was to analyze the incidence of functional gastrocerebral abnormalities in premature and full-term children, depending on age and type of feeding. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: 100 children were selected and examined on the basis of the Department of Younger Children of Vinogradiv RH. Children were divided into groups according to the degree of premature birth: the first group - 59 full-term children, the second - 41 premature infants. The analysis and statistical processing of data using Student's parametric criterion were conducted, and the probability of the difference P was determined. RESULTS: Results: It was found that functional gastrointestinal disorders were significantly more prevalent in preterm infants (t = 2.09; p <0.05), and more often in the form of colic (29.27%). Full-term children were more likely to have constipation (23.73%). In full-term children FGCD was significantly more common in the 3rd and 4th month of age (30.3% and 33.3% respectively), and in preterm ones at 6 months of age (38.71%) (p <0.05). CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The type of feeding affects the time and nature of FGCD, regardless of the degree of childhood premature birth.
