    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung eines Medikamentes ist unter anderem abhängig von dem freien, nicht proteingebundenen Anteil. Ändert sich dieser Anteil quantitativ, so können sich von der Norm abweichende Wirkungen einstellen. In Serumproben von neugeborenen Kindern und Säuglingen bestimmten wir die Proteinbindung von Na-Salicylat: Neugeborene wiesen eine signifikant niedrigere Proteinbindung auf als Säuglinge. Es bestand kein signifikanter Unterschied in den Bindungskonstanten bei ikterischen und nicht ikterischen Neugeborenen. Bei 75 untersuchten Säuglingen wiesen 15% (n=12) eine signifikant geringere Salicylatbindung als der Durchschnitt dieser Altersklasse auf; eine Zuordnung zu bestimmten Krankheitsbildern gelang jedoch nicht. Es kann entweder eine primär geringere Proteinbindung oder eine im Rahmen einer Erkrankung sich sekundär verringernde Protein-bindung diskutiert werden. Auf die Bedeutung dieser verringerten Protein-bindung wird hingewiesen, da es bei Patienten mit eingeschränkter renaler Leistung oder verminderter Metabolisierungsfähigkeit der Leber zu einer verzögerten Ausscheidung des vermehrt ins Gewebe eindringenden Medikamentes kommen kann.
    Notes: Abstract The non protein-bound portion of a drug is mainly responsible for the effect of a drug. If this free portion is changed for any reason, drug reactions varying from the normal may occur. Using sodium salicylate as an example, we have investigated this question in newborn children and in infants. It was shown that the newborns had significantly less salicylate protein-binding than the infants had. There was no significant difference of the binding constants between newborns with and without jaundice. In the 75 infants examined, 12 (15%) showed a significant reduction in salicylate protein-binding, but no definite relation to a specific disease could be established. A primary reduction in protein-binding, as well as a secondary reduction because of the disease, must be considered in these children. The importance of this reduced protein-binding should not be under-estimated. In patients with restricted renal function or lowered hepatic metabolic capacity, it may lead to a delayed excretion of the drug which has increased penetration into the tissues.

    Notes: Abstract Immunization against pertussis has been re-recommended for healthy children in Germany in 1991. In addition the former restriction of immunizing only in the first 2 years of life was abolished. In children born before 1991 immunization rates against pertussis were 15% or less. With the new recommendations physicians are now faced with an increasing demand of parents for catch-up vaccinations in these children. Since they were immunized against diphtheria and tetanus previously monovalent pertussis vaccines are needed for this indication. Therefore a monovalent, multicomponent acellular pertussis vaccine was studied in 249 German children 15 months to 6 years of age. Three doses were administered at 6–10 week intervals. Reactogenicity and antibody responses against the vaccine antigens pertussis toxin (PT), filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA), 69-kd antigen (pertactin) and fimbriae-2 (agglutinogen) were investigated. Local and systemic reactions were minimal in frequency and severity. Antibody responses against all vaccine antigens were pronounced with 93%–100% of vaccinees demonstrating at least four fold titre rises above pre-immunization after the third dose. These findings indicate that this monovalent, multicomponent acellular pertussis vaccine with excellent immunogenicity and low reactogenicity is an appropriate candidate for closing immunization gaps in older children in countries with previously low vaccination rates against pertussis. Based on the results of this study the monovalent acellular pertussis vaccine was licensed in Germany in January 1994.

    Notes: Abstract From December 1990 to November 1993 nasopharyngeal specimens were obtained for culture from 50 children (mean 4.9±3.3 months of age) who had died suddenly.Bordetella pertussis was not isolated. Subsequently, nasopharyngeal specimens for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis were obtained from another 51 victims of sudden death (mean 5.4±4.4 months of age); nine (18%) wereB. pertussis positive.

    Notes: Abstract Two infants with life-threatening pertussis are presented in whom the diagnosis was delayed. A review of pertinent literature suggests that the diagnosis of pertussis in infants is frequently missed and therefore the morbidity and mortality from this disease is underestimated.

    Notes: Abstract We report three newborns with brain abscesses. Two infants suffered fromSerratia marcescens meningitis and one infant had enterococcal sepsis and meningitis. Brain abscesses were detected by cerebral sonography. Outcome in one infant withS. marcescens infection was poor. This patient developed multicystic encephalomalacia and severe developmental retardation. In the other patient withS. marcescens infection surgical drainage of the abscess was performed. The outcome was good both in this infant and in the patient with enterococcal brain abscess.

Conclusion Our findings support previous epidemiological studies which noted an association between epidemic pertussis and sudden infant death syndrome. Further PCR studies with both internal and external controls should be performed.
