RESUMO

AIM: To evaluate whether coeliac disease (CD) can be diagnosed by measuring autoantibodies without small-intestinal mucosal biopsies in children with type 1 diabetes. METHODS: Case finding of CD was undertaken in 181 consecutive IgA-competent children with type 1 diabetes using transglutaminase 2 (TG2) and endomysial IgA antibody (EMA) tests in serum and the rapid point of care test in fingertip whole-blood sample. Endoscopy with intestinal biopsies was recommended for patients with high TG2-IgA titres (>96 U) and in children with lower positive tests if either the EMA test or the rapid point of care test was additionally positive. The duodenal mucosal biopsies were graded according to the Marsh classification. RESULTS: The TG2-IgA test had a 15.5% and the EMA test a 6.0% seropositivity. All seven biopsied high-titre TG2-IgA-positive children were symptom free and found to have CD (Marsh 3 type lesion). These patients were also positive for EMA and in the rapid point of care test. Lower titre TG2-IgA-positive children had histological Marsh 1 to 3a lesions. CONCLUSIONS: None of the type 1 diabetes children with high TG2-IgA titres would have needed endoscopy with duodenal biopsies to reach a CD diagnosis. Lower TG2-IgA-positive patients need to be biopsied.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Intracranial hemorrhages (ICH) might be the cause of significant psycho-motor or cognitive impairment in preterm babies. A 5 year cohort study performed in the IOMC was aimed at determining the prevalence and proportion of the main types of ICH diagnosed by transfontanelar (TF) ultrasound among admitted preterms, along with the neuro-developmental effects on a 12 month follow-up period. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In the above mentioned period all enrolled newborns were examined by TF ultrasound according to a common standardized protocol. The 4 grade Papile ICH classification was used for all examined subjects. In order to determine the potential neurological sequels we performed a 12 month neurological follow-up of all 292 patients in the study group. RESULTS: The prevalence of all types ICH diagnosed by systematic TF ultrasound was 20.4 %. The most prevalent type of ICH was peri-intraventricular: 40% grade I and 33 % grade II, with no major neurological sequels For both the correlation to the neurological outcome was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Severe neurological sequels were associated with grade III and IV, but the correlation was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05) only for grade IV hemorrhages. A severe neurological outcome was of statistical significance only for the cerebellar hemorrhage outcome, although a similar pattern was also observed for the thalamic hemorrhages. CONCLUSION: Systematic TF screenings for preterm is useful for early diagnosis and staging which might improve the management of rehabilitation therapies, and provide appropriate information on the disease outcome as well as influencing the quality of parental counseling.
