Plasmapheresis as a therapeutic measure in hemolytic-uremic syndrome in children.

Three children with hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) were successfully treated with plasmapheresis (HUS) were successfully treated with plasmapheresis (PP) combined with early hemodialysis and administration of Aspirin and dipyridamole. Stimulation of vascular prostacyclin release with patients' plasma was measured before and after PP. It was reduced before and increased after plasma exchange. The data indicate that PP might be a useful tool in treatment of (HUS) in children.

[The vertically transmitted hepatitis B (author's transl)].

The vertically transmitted hepatitis B in infancy, is not only due to an acute hepatitis B of the mother during pregnancy. We describe 9 cases of proven vertical transmitted hepatitis B, 2 of them with fatal outcome. 5 were delivered from chronic asymptomatic HBsAg positive mothers. We wish to emphasize again the importance of HBsAg screening in pregnancy and the prophylactic use of hyperimmune gamma-globulin in children born to HBsAg positive mothers.
