Abstract

Background About 190 million preschool children living indeveloping countries are at risk of vitamin A deficiency. VitaminA deficiency and acute respiratory tract infection (ARI) are publichealth problems in developing countries. Children with vitaminA deficiency are more susceptible to measles, respiratory tractinfection, and other infections. Some studies show that vitaminA supplements may reduce the severity of respiratory tractinfection and other systemic complications of measles, anddiarrhea.Objective To evaluate the effect of vitamin A supplementation ininfants and children with severe pneumonia.Methods The study was a randomized trial on children with severepneumonia. Participants were randomly assigned to either receivevitamin A in addition to standard treatment (Group A), orstandard treatment alone (Group C). Time to achieve the normalrespiratory rate, time to achieve disappearance of subcostalretractions and fine rales were compared between the 2 groups.Result There was no significant difference in the achievement ofnormal respiratory rate between the vitamin group and the controlgroup (3.08 days vs 3.29 days). There was also no significantdifference in the disappearance of subcostal retractions amongthe two groups (2.30 days vs 2.48 days). However, there wassignificant difference in the disappearance of fine rales betweenthe two groups. The disappearance of fine rales in the vitamin Agroup occurred earlier (mean 3.72 days) than in the control group(mean 4.04 days) (P<0.01).Conclusions This study indicates that no significant difference inthe achievement of normal respiratory rate and disappearance ofsubcostal retractions between the vitamin A group as comparedto the control group, but there was a significant difference in thedisappearance of fine rales between two groups.

Abstract

We report the results of a retrospective study evaluating clinical edema and chest X-ray findings in 17b patients with acute poststreptococcal glomeru¬lonephritis (APSGN), hospitalized in the Pediatric Nephrology Unit of Ujung Pandang General Hospital, from January 1, 1980 through December 31, 1990. Of the total 194 patients, only 176 fulfilled the criteria and could be evaluated. There were 98 boys (55,7%) and 78 girls (44.3%) aged between 1 year 9 months and 14 years, mostly be¬tween 6-12 years (72.8%). We found that edema of the palpebra was more frequently noted (98.9%) than that of the pretibia (71.6%), face (64.2%) and ascites (21.0%). This study showed evidence of cardiomegaly (84.1%), pulmonary vascular congestion (68.2%), pleural effusion (65.9%) and pulmonary' edema (48.9%). Our study results documented that roentgenographic abnormality of the chest of patients with APSGN, included each of the following findings, e.g., cardiomegaly, pleural effusion, pulmonary vascular congestion, and pulmonary edema, was significantly more frequent in patients with clinical evidence of severe edema than those with moderate and mild edema (p < 0.01).
