[Pulmonary tuberculosis and primary infection in children. Retrospective study of 53 children].

A 4-year retrospective study of 53 children aged from 4 1/2 months to 16 years showed the persistent frequency of tuberculosis in a general paediatrics department: one out of 250 children of the same age admitted during the same period presented with tuberculosis. Acute febrile pulmonary manifestations (13%) were much less frequent than primary infections (87%) which were symptomatic in only one out of 2 cases. But, whether the primary infection was patent or latent, mediastinal lymphadenopathy was present in one out of 5 cases. In children, a 15 mm or more intradermal reaction to 10 units of tuberculin is strongly suggestive of tuberculosis, especially when previous intradermal tests were negative. Radiography of the chest and gastric fluid aspiration indicated the degree of infection. In spite of its low yield (10% positive microscopic examinations and 20% positive cultures), gastric aspiration had the merit of confirming the diagnosis of tuberculosis in 4 out of 35 children with apparently normal X-ray films. A firm therapeutic approach could be derived from these three examinations.

[Value of ultrasonic diagnosis in the evaluation of hip dislocation in neonates and infants. Apropos of 340 cases].

Ultrasound imaging of hip (UIH) was performed in 170 children (340 hips) with normal (193) and dysplasic (147) hips and findings compared with results of clinical and radiologic examinations. Ultrasound demonstrated 100% sensitivity in cases with abnormal clinical and radiologic finding, and 94% specificity for UIH when clinical and radiologic examinations were negative. Sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound screening (respectively 96 and 81%) were comparatively superior to those of radiography of the pelvis (83 and 78%) in relation to the clinical examinations. These findings predict further development of UIH for screening of congenital dislocation of the hips and for follow up surveillance of treated children.

[Late lymphedema in Turner's syndrome].

Two cases of delayed unilateral lymphedema are reported in children presenting with Turner's syndrome. On this occasion, the frequency of lymphedema in Turner's syndrome and the more general problem of the lymphatic changes in this syndrome are discussed. The importance of isotopic lymphography is emphasized, because of its simplicity, its harmlessness and the good quality of the morphological and cinetic data obtained.
