    Notes: The safety and efficacy of loratadine was compared with that of dexchlorpheniramine in children with allergic rhinitis. Twenty-one children received loratadine 0.11–0.24 mg/kg ideal body weight once daily and 19 dexchlorpheniramine 0.10–0.23 mg/kg every 8 h (0.30–0.69 mg/24 h) for 14 consecutive days. Both loratadine and dexchlorpheniramine were effective in reducing nasal and ocular symptoms in allergic children. Substantial improvement in allergy symptoms was observed at the first evaluation (day 3 of treatment) and was maintained for the study duration. No significant trend of abnormality in laboratory parameters was observed. Drowsiness was present only in the dexchlorpheniramine-treated group. Loratadine appears to be a simple, effective and safe therapy for seasonal allergic rhinitis.

    The Omenn's syndrome: Histological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural evidence for a partial T cell deficiency evolving in an abnormal proliferation of T lymphocytes and S-100+/T-6+ Langerhans-like cells (1985)

    Notes: Summary A 7 month old female infant was affected by a rapidly fatal familial disease highly reminiscent of Omenn's syndrome. She presented with widespread eczematous lesions, hepatosplenomegaly, superficial lymphadenopathy, peripheral blood lymphocytosis, eosinophilia and hyper-IgE. An axillary lymph node was involved by a marked proliferation of T-3+/T-10 - lymphocytes admixed with S-100+/T-6+/Leu-3a+/Ia+ reticular cells which lacked typical LC granules; cell suspension study revealed that 90%–96% of the lymph node cells were T-11+/ T-3+ lymphocytes characterized by low expression of Leu-3a and T-8 antigens and by high expression of Ia antigens (52%). Peripheral blood T lymphocytes exhibited a similar distribution of surface phenotypes. The patient died of interstitial pneumonia and an autopsy was performed. The thymus was markedly atrophic and completely devoid of lymphocytes. The peri-arteriolar lymphoid sheets of the spleen were poorly developed and were mainly composed of T-8+ lymphocytes. The mediastinal nodes were rudimentary and were populated by T-3+/ T-10+ lymphocytes with low expression of Leu-3a and T-8 antigens. Our results raise the possibility that Omenn's syndrome is a peculiar primary immunodeficiency in which, despite early thymic involution, some abnormal T lymphocytes still develop in the peripheral lymphoid organs. Antigenic triggering of these cells might result in prominent proliferations of T lymphocytes and Langerhans-like cells which lead to the clinical manifestation of the disease.

    Comparison of the effects of inhaled calcium antagonist verapamil, sodium cromoglycate and ipratropium bromide on exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in children with asthma (1987)

    Notes: Abstract Fifteen children with exercise-induced asthma (EIA) participated in a double-blind trial comparing the protective effects of inhaled sodium cromoglycate (20 mg/2ml), ipratropium bromide (500 μg/2ml) and verapamil (5 mg/2ml). Saline was used as control. There was no significant difference in base line pulmonary function before and after the administration of each agent. After exercise the maximal percentage fall in the forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV-1) (means and SD) were 40.9±17.2 after inhalation of saline, 15.3±11.7 after sodium cromoglycate, 36.2±21.4 after verapamil and 21.7±17.7 after ipratropium bromide. The inhibitory effects of sodium cromoglycate and ipratropium bromide were significant whereas verapamil failed to produce any effect. To see if a double dose of verapamil is more effective, nine different children with EIA were provoked by the same standardized treadmill running after giving a placebo (4 ml saline) and after verapamil (10 mg in 4 ml). Despite the double dose, again verapamil was ineffective even though the protection index doubled that obtained with the lower dose. The results suggest that the calcium antagonist (verapamil) had almost no effect on the prevention of EIA in the children studied.

    Plasma fibronectin concentrations in healthy newborns and in children (1988)

    Notes: Abstract Plasma fibronectin (FN) concentrations were measured by an immunonephelometric method in cord blood from 76 healthy newborns (45 full term and 31 preterm), in 181 healthy children, from 1 month–15 years old, divided by age into seven groups and in 81 control adults. FN levels in newborns were 35% of those of adults. There was no difference between plasma FN in term and preterm (gestational age〉30 weeks) infants. Preterm newborns below the gestational age of 30 weeks showed particularly low FN levels. No clear correlation was seen with birth weight. In the child population, a strong increase in FN values was noted in the first 6 months of life, rising to 65% of the normal adult values. No further increase occurred until puberty.
