Chopra, P. Kini, N. Bhaskaranand, S. Aroor Kastuba Medical College,Manipal, Manipal, India Background: Infection remains an important complication in children with nephrotic syndrome. Besides being the commonest cause of mortalty, infections result in significant morbidity and may also be responsible for a poor response to steroid therapy or induce relapse in a child who has already attained remission. The study was undertaken to observe the type of infection in children with nephrotic syndrome and to study the relation of infection to relapse . Methods: A prospective study was done in children diagnosed to have nephrotic syndrome (satisfying ISKDC Criteria) and treated in the Department of Paediatrics, Kasturba Hospital, Manipal, India from August 2005- July 2007. Children with steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome were excluded from this study.Those who satisfied the inclusion criteria were monitored for infectious complications. Relevant investigations were carried out during the episode of infection. Data was analyzed using SPSS 11 data editor and the Z test for proportions . Treatment of relapses of Nephrotic Syndrome Results: There were 101 episodes of relapse in 73 children with steroid sensitive nephrotic syndrome. Of these episodes, relapse was precipitated by an infection in 77.2% (n=78) of cases. Hence it was found that infections were associated with increased risk of relapses (p

Latinoamerican studies of this infection are scarce. Methods: Retrospective reviews of medical and microbiologic records from Hospital de Niños Juan P Garrahan (HJPG) and Hospital de Niños Ricardo Gutierrez (HNRG), both in Buenos Aires, Argentina were done to identify patients with invasive N. meningitidis infections between 1998 and 2008. Demographic and clinical data were reviewed. OBJETIVES. To analyse the epidemiology, clinical features and outcome of invasive infections caused by N. meningitidis Results: One hundred and twenty-six cases (HJPG: 77; HNRG: 49) of invasive meningococcal infection were analyzed during the study period. The median age at presentation was 33 months (range, 1 to 180). Fifity-two percent had male and 15% had underlying disease. Eleven percent had previous antibiotic treatment. The median time of symptoms previously to admission was 1.5 days. The most common signs and symptoms at admission included fever (96%) (> 39°C: 40%; median duration: 3.5 days), rash (61%), nuchal rigidity (37%), vomiting (51%), irritability (59 %) and lethargy (64%). The final diagnosis were: meningitis (86 %), meningococcemia without meningitis (10 %), septic arthritis (10%) and occult bacteremia (1.5 %). Twenty-four children (19%) required ICU hospitalization. The median time of ICU admission was 5 days (range: 1-45). Four patients died (3.1%) (serotype C: 2 and without typification (WT): 2). Long term sequelae were seen in 15 patients (12%) (serogroup B: 6, C:6 and WT: 3): brain damage (4), amputation (3), deafness (3), blindness (2), language disturbs (1), hydrocefalia (1) and skin scars (1) . The most frequent serogroup isolates were as follows: B (55); C (28); W135 (6) and Y (6). Almost all patients were treated with parenteral cephalosporin therapy alone. The median time of hospital admission was 8.5 days Conclusion: Meningococcal infections remain an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children in Argentina. Although most patients recover without sequelae, there are a significant number who experience major morbidity and mortality as a result of this infection. Effective meningococcal vaccination recommendation could lessen considerably the burden of meningococal meningitis.
