[Acrodermatitis enteropathica with mild course].

Acrodermatitis enteropathica is a disorder due to zinc deficiency in a human body. It is disease of autosomal recessive inheritance, that usually occurs in infants, typically develops in early months of life. Classical findings include acrodermatitis, diarrhea and alopecia. Natural course of disease is various from observed ones in 70 tumoral cases to subclinical cases without severe diarrhoea with improvement of post maturation period. We describe a 13-year-old girl with acrodermatitis enteropathica diagnosed after nine years from first symptoms.

[Magnesium and zinc levels in blood serum and cerebrospinal fluid in children with febrile convulsions].

Magnesium and zinc levels in blood serum and cerebrospinal fluid were estimated in 18 children aged 8 months-5 years with febrile convulsions. Control group consisted of 15 apparently healthy children in the same age. On the ground of ethical reasons no control values for cerebrospinal fluid were evaluated. The mean serum concentration of magnesium and zinc was significantly lower in the sick children (p < 0.001 and p < 0.05 resp.). The magnesium levels in cerebrospinal fluid were evidently lower than those quoted in the literature and the mean concentration of zinc was higher in comparison with literature data. The presumable pathogenetic role of disturbed magnesium and zinc metabolism in febrile convulsions is discussed.

[Henoch-Schoenlein purpura and toxocarosis].

Henoch-Schoenlein purpura is a common vasculitic syndrome in childhood. Diagnosis is based on the presence of nonthrombocytopenic purpura arthritis or arthralgia, abdominal pain and glomerulonephritis. In our case report a causal relationship between toxocarosis and Henoch-Schoenlein purpura is suggested.
