[Some clinical aspects of therapeutic administration of iron preparations in childhood: iron and infections].

Iron is one of the most important metals for living organisms. There are many different reasons for an iron deficiency, which can lead to an iron deficiency anemia and can be treated by iron-containing drugs. But there are also some reasons leading to an iron overload, which can impair the defense against bacterial infections. An anemia in the course of an infection is usually not a result of iron deficiency but a physiological reaction against the invading microorganisms. A treatment with iron-containing drugs is only indicated in the case of an undoubtedly proven iron deficiency.

[Investigations of volume and electrolyte concentrations in saliva of asthma- and epilepsy-diseased children under therapy].

To investigate if in children suffering from asthma bronchiale or cerebral attacks and being under special long-term therapy changes in quantity and quality of saliva occure, both groups of probands were examined in comparision to corresponding controls. In both cases pharmaca were given which may influence the functions of vegetative neuralsystem. It was proved that children with asthma had a lower and those with attacks a higher volume of secretion in comparison with the controls. The calcium-concentrations proved to be higher in both treated groups, the magnesiumconcentration only in the anticonoulsive treated group. Plaqueextension, cariesincidence and index of periodontal inflammation was found to be slightly higher than in the controls.

[The determination of number and differentiation of excreted leukocytes in relation to acuity, course and prognosis of inflammatory urinary tract infections].

The intention was to determine the diagnostic and prognostic value of differentiating between the cells excreted in the urine. Midstream morning urine specimens of children with untreated urinary tract infection (group AO), with recurrent urinary tract infection in the symptom-free period (group D), of healthy girls (group CW), healthy boys (group CM), of children with acute infections other than urinary tract infections (group B) and with acute urinary tract infections after 8 days of antibiotic therapy (group A8) were examined for number of leucocytes and proportion of granulocytes (PMNL) in percent. There were significant differences in leucocyte numbers between groups D, CW and A8 on the one hand and CM and B on the other The granulocytes percentages differed significantly between AO, D and CW, CM, A8. The study provides essential data for assessing acuity, course and prognosis of urinary tract infection.
