Chronic renal failure in children.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the clinical presentation and find out the underlying cause of chronic renal failure (CRF). METHODS: This is a descriptive prospective study of patients attending children hospital, Chandka Medical College Larkana and National Institute of Child Health (Paediatric Nephrology Unit) Karachi from January 1993 to December 1996. RESULTS: Seventy eight confirmed cases of chronic renal failure (CRF) were included in the study. Out of them 51 were male and 27 females (M:F ratio 1.8:1). Most of the children (90%) presented after 3 years of age. Common clinical presentation were anaemia (93.5%) cases, growth retardation (74.3% cases), urinary complaints (65.3%) cases and hypertension (53.8%) cases. Common causes leading to CRF were reflux nephropathy (24.5%), posterior uretheral valves (23%), chronic glomerulonephritis (15.4%) and urolithiasis (14%). CONCLUSION: Early diagnosis and management of most common causes of CRF may prevent and delay the progression to end stage renal disease (ESRD).

Acute bilateral extradural hematomas.

The occurrence of bilateral extradural hematomas is an uncommon consequence of craniocerebral trauma and its incidence is variable in various studies ranging from 2-25%.1 We studied all cases of head injury brought to our institute over a period of 6 months and found the incidence of bilateral extradural hematomas to be 13.3%.

A focus of endemic malaria in central Java.

This report describes one of the few remaining foci of endemic malaria on the island of Java, the Kokap subdistrict, near the Southcentral coast. Kokap was hypoendemic in June 1994 with prevalence of parasitemia at 0.98% (n = 10,606 of 40,246 residents). Plasmodium vivax comprised 63% of infections and P. falciparum all others. The incidence of indigenous infection during 1993 was 48 cases/1,000 person-years (p-yr), and it was relatively uniform among age groups (38 to 53/1,000 p-yr). Nine deaths due to malaria had been recorded in the past three years (8.3 deaths per 100,000 p-yr); the case fatality rate was 0.17%. Subdistricts adjoining Kokap to the north, east, and south reported incidence rates of < 2 cases/1,000 p-yr. To the west, Purworejo District had a high case incidence (11 cases/1,000 p-yr) but other districts to the west did not (< 1.2 cases/1,000 p-yr). The highest case incidence village area within Kokap (169 cases/1,000 p-yr) bordered the district of Purworejo to the west. Endemic malaria in Kokap and Purworejo coincided with where steep hills and narrow valleys dominated the terrain.
