[Accidents in the ocular area in children. An epidemiologic study and the medicosocial implications]. / Accidente în sfera oculara la copii. Studiu epidemiologic si implicatii medico-sociale.

The authors have studied 202 ocular accidents with children, with a special insistence on epidemiology and medico-social implications. The accidents entail three important factors: the person liable to have an ocular accident, the agent provocateur, and a favourable human-social context. These factors were deeply analysed through a lot of parameters in a correlative manner. The authors demonstrate that the representative accidents are not usually unforeseeable incidents but they are avoidable and they have a prophylaxis with large means that can be applied. There were also attacked medico-social implications of the ocular accidents with a special insistence on the potential of invalidating consequences.

[THe etiology of pleuropneumopathies in infants and small children]. / Etiologia pleuropneumopatiilor la sugar si copilul mic.

In a follow-up study during 20 years (1975-1994) we observed, beside clinical aspects, the evolution of pleuropneumopathies in infants and small children (1-3 years of age), and the etiology of these infections. The casuistry includes 456 children-237 infants (51,97%) and 219 small children, between 1-3 years of age (48,02%), which were admitted in Clinical Children's Hospital from Oradea (Clinical Hospital for Children) with pleuropneumopathies. 4 intervals of time were analyzed comparatively, each of 5 years, starting with a number of 235 cases in the first one and reaching only 45 observations in the last one. The etiology was dominated by coagulase-negative and coagulase-positive Staph, aureus (34,20-60,40%), Strept. pneumoniae (14,10-40,00%). From the Gram negative bacteria, there were identified Kl. pneumoniae (2,20-9,80%), Pseudomonas sp. (2,20-5,19%), E. coli and Proteus sp. (1,70-2,20%). There were 2,90-9,85% of cases with a potential of pathogenicity, in various associations. In the last 10 years, the number of cases with unprecised etiology is growing (22,50-33,30%) probably because of the implication of anaerobe and coagulase-negative staphylococci, no tests of isolation and identification being made for them.
