(Comenius Univ, 2012) Akgun, C.; Akbayram, S.; Guner, S.; Aktar, F.; Temel, H.; Basaranoglu, M.
Vasculitis in childhood is a result of a spectrum of causes ranging from idiopathic conditions with primary vessel inflammation to syndromes after exposure to recognized antigenic triggers, such as infectious agents and drugs causing hypersensitivity reactions. Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) is the most common vasculitis of childhood. Although there is often a history of a recent or simultaneous upper respiratory tract infection, no consistent causative organism is found. We report an 11-year old boy with HSP and brucellosis and we speculated that brucellosis was the trigger agent for HSP (Ref. 13). Full Text in PDF www.elis.sk.

(2011) Kaya, A.; Aktar, F.; Açikgöz, M.; Üstyol, L.; Başaranoǧlu, M.; Arslan, S.
The etiologies of choledochus cysts are not exactly known. Its classic triads are abdominal pain, mass in abdominal area and icter. A 2-year-old girl was brought in with temperature, vomiting and abdominal pain complaints. In her physical examination, there was no sensitivity, defense and rebound in the abdomen. There was also no icter in her body. In the laboratory examination aspartate transaminase and alanine aminotransferase were slightly high, gama-glutamyl transferase and alkaline phosphatase also significantly high. Her abdomen ultrasonography showed a dimensionally cystic dilatation with dimensions of 2x1,5 cm and cholecytitis was seen in choledochus proximals. In abdomen computerized tomography a dimensionally 13 mm cystic structure was observed in choledochus distal terminus adjacency associated with choledochus. Our case was orientated to pediatric surgery in terms of follow-up and therapy.

(TIP ARASTIRMALARI DERNEGI, 2012) Bektaş, M.S.; Kaya, A.; Aktar, F.; Temel, H.; Açikgöz, M.; Çaksen, H.
Carbamazepine is a commonly used anticonvulsant and is generally considered to be a safe drug. However, it may sometimes be responsible for some serious toxic effects and even deaths. A 14 month-old girl patient was hospitalized because of convulsion. General condition of this patient without a history of trauma was moderate and her consciousness was lethargic. The patient without other risk factors and a history suggestive of intoxication was admitted to hospital for observation of the clauses of seizure. The patient's mother was epileptic and had a history of using carbamazepine. Carbamazepine can seriously induce hyponatremia. At children's cases with evidence of poisoning but not be shown, drugs used by parents should be investigated.
