    Notes: Abstract Although upper respiratory tract involvement is a common finding in cystic fibrosis (CF), there is no agreement on whether hearing is affected in these patients. We studied 75 CF subjects and 50 healthy agematched children with the same audiological protocol. An original scoring system was used to quantify the degree of hearing involvement (normal, mild, moderate and severe) in each subject. Prevalence of ear involvement in children with CF was similar to that in agematched control subjects (25.4% and 18% respectively,P〉0.05). Ear disease in CF was not related to pulmonary disease, radiological sinusitis, nasal polyposis, or use of parenteral aminoglycosides. These data showed that the risk of ear disease in CF was not increased even if patients with severe audiological involvement were described only in the CF group.

    Intractable diarrhoea in infancy in the 1990s: A survey in Italy (1995)
    Springer
    European journal of pediatrics 154 (1995), S. 522-525

    Notes: Abstract Abstract A “quick” prevalence study of intractable diarrhoea (defined as diarrhoea lasting more than 3 weeks and dependent on parenteral nutrition [PN] for more than 50% of daily caloric intake) was conducted by FAX. All 35 paediatric gastroenterology services which had been contacted answered questionnaire sent by FAX. 20 cases of intractable diarrhoea were identified in 9 centres. In 12 cases PN was administered at home, the other 8 cases being treated as inpatients for an average duration of 9.5 months. A diagnosis had been established in 11 out of 20 cases. Auto-immune enteropathy was the most frequent diagnosis (5 cases); congenital microvillous atrophy (3 cases); chronic pseudo-obstruction (2 cases) and multiple food intolerance (1 case). Undefinied 9/20 cases presented atrophy of intestinal mucosa. The age of the beginning of diarrhoea varied from 2 days to 12 years, but was more than 16 months only in some cases with auto-immune enteropathy. Conclusion Intractable diarrhoea has a low prevalence in Italy and remains a rare but very intricating problem. Long-term PN is recommended in most cases: autoimmune enteropathy is the most frequent cause but in about half of the cases the aetiopathogenetic diagnosis is still not defined.
