  • Original Articles X-Linked Agammaglobulinaemia in Hong Kong Chinese
    HK J Paediatr (new series) 2003;8:15-20 Original Articles X-linked Agammaglobulinaemia in Hong Kong Chinese RCM LOBO, GCF CHAN, TL LEE, AKS CHIANG, HK HO, SY HA, YL LAU Abstract We reviewed retrospectively eleven Chinese children diagnosed with X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA) and managed at the Department of Paediatrics & Adolescent Medicine of Queen Mary Hospital from 1987 to 2002. All of the eleven children had presenting signs and symptoms before fourteen months old, but diagnosis was delayed in most patients with the median age of diagnosis at 5.8 years (range 1.3-14.3 years). The respiratory tract was the most commonly affected site of infection (76%) before diagnosis. Haemophilus influenzae was the most commonly isolated microorganism before and after diagnosis. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) was given in all patients with a median dose of 700 mg/kg four weekly in order to achieve the pre-infusion IgG level within the normal reference range as well as control of clinical infections. The incidence of documented infections before IVIG replacement was 31 per 100 patient-months which decreased to 7.6 per 100 patient-months after IVIG replacement (p<0.0001). The height and weight centiles of the children also increased after IVIG replacement (p<0.01). Bronchiectasis was noted in three out of the eleven children who were diagnosed to have XLA late at 6, 12 and 14 years old. Adequate IVIG replacement could decrease the frequency of infections and normalize growth in children with XLA. It might prevent bronchiectasis if started early in life, which depends on early diagnosis of XLA.

    Tram. Nor. A cud.

Phl1ipphtes ABSTRACT In 1984 out of 6,270 total pediatric admissions at lungsod ng K<lb<ltaan (LnK) Children's HospitaJ) Metro Manila, 171 had positive cuJtUfes for Pseudo­ monas aeruginv..w. with neonates as the most commonly affected. Symptomll;lo[ogy and blood counls were not significant cnough to be considered diagnostic, Positive cultures from speLimcm, parlicularly the blood, was th~ only fmding that clinched the- diagnosis, just as it was 10 }'cars ago in a study at the Philippine C..eneml Hospital. Se.nsjtivity tests showed changes from previous reports; to some extent this may have been due to a difference in presently available antibiotics. As mortality is still high and the diagnosis still complicated and costly, time-test.ed simple prcvcntiv\: mC,ilsures :He important. Introduction Infections caused by the ubiquitous Pseudomonas especially the opportunis­ tic pathogenic to man, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are not in the top morbidity and mortality lists anywhere. Yet these continue to be considered dreadful diseases which cause considerable concern in hospitals and to those deeply concerned with I he health of children. It is known that the disease commonly affects neonates particularly the debilitated or critically ill, who need nasogastric tubes, suction and humidifying apparatus Or assisted ventilation. It is also often observed among malnourished children or those who have chronic iHness requiring prolonged antibiotics or im­ muno.suppressive treatments.
