Background: Blood histamine levels are decreased after severe allergic reactions and in various chronic diseases.Aims: To study blood histamine levels in infants and children with acute infectious and non-infectious, non-allergic, disease.Methods: Blood histamine levels were investigated by a fluorometric method in infants and children admitted to hospital with bronchiolitis, non-wheezing bronchitis, acute infections of the urinary tract, skin and ear-nose-throat, gastroenteritis, or hyperthermia of unknown aetiology. Results of blood histamine levels and white blood cell counts were compared with those obtained for children recovering from benign non-infectious, non-allergic illnesses.Results: As compared with control children, white blood cell numbers were significantly increased in children with acute infections of the urinary tract, skin and ear-nose-throat, and were significantly decreased in children with gastroenteritis. Blood histamine levels were significantly lower in children with gastroenteritis and hyperthermia than in children with other diseases and control children. It was not possible to correlate blood histamine levels and the number of blood basophils.Conclusions: BHL are significantly decreased in infants and children with acute gastroenteritis and hyperthermia of unknown aetiology. The mechanisms responsible for the decrease in blood histamine levels in children with gastroenteritis and hyperthermia are discussed.

SUMMARYTwenty-one patients considered to have acute poststreptococcal glomerulo-nephritis were encountered during 35 years of general practice. In ten of them good evidence of active streptococcal infection at the time of discovery of nephritis was recorded. The more complete the data the more convincing was the evidence of active infection.In over half of those whose urines were routinely cultured pathogens were isolated and over a third were treated for infection of the urinary tract. Such infections were associated with adverse effects and prolonged illness.As compared with children, adults in general had a longer history of ill-health, were less likely to present with acute infections and more likely to have urinary tract infections and prolonged illness.Vigorous antistreptococcal treatment was followed by rapid recovery in those patients so treated whose illnesses were not complicated by urinary tract infections.Concurrent streptococcal infection and secondary infection of the urinary tract may contribute more to the onset of acute poststreptococcal glomerulo-nephritis and to its course than is currently believed.

MEHMO syndrome is a rare X-linked syndrome characterized by Mental retardation, Epilepsy, Hypogenitalism, Microcephaly, and Obesity associated with the defect of protein synthesis caused by the EIF2S3 gene mutations. We hypothesized that the defect in protein synthesis could have an impact on the immune system. We describe immunologic phenotype and possible treatment outcomes in patient with MEHMO syndrome carrying a frame-shift mutation (I465fs) in the EIF2S3 gene. The proband (currently 9-year-old boy) had normal IgG and IgM levels, but had frequent respiratory and urinary tract infections. On subcutaneous immunoglobulin therapy achieving supra-physiological IgG levels the frequency of infections significantly decreased in Poisson regression by 54.5 % (CI 33.2-89.7, p=0.017). The MEHMO patient had had frequent acute infections despite normal IgG and IgM serum levels and responded well to the immunoglobulin treatment.
