A survey for submaxillary enlargement was carried out in 106 children with cystic fibrosis and 300 normal children. Submaxillary enlargement was found in 2% of the normal children and 92% of the children with cystic fibrosis. Chronic enlargement of the submaxillary glands is one of the clinical findings frequently present in children with cystic fibrosis, and it may also have diagnostic value. Cystic fibrosis must be considered as an important cause of chronic enlargement of the submaxillary glands in the pediatric age group.

Scrub typhus is known to cause local and systemic vasculitic response in almost all the systems of the body. In central nervous system it most commonly causes meningitis and encephalitis although several other atypical presentations have been documented. We present a case of a 3 years old child presenting with fever and isolated acute cerebellitis. Serum showed IgM antibodies to scrub typhus by ELISA. MRI scan of brain also corroborated with clinical findings. Patient showed rapid response to doxycycline therapy.

Abstract We compared alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (EC 2.3.2.2) activities in sera from children with various hepatic diseases with values for normal children. Although values for both enzymes are above normal in essentially the same liver disorders, the latter is much more specific and sensitive. A single value for alkaline phosphatase, measured at any time during childhood or at any stage of liver disease, is extremely difficult to interpret. We suggest that measurement of gamma-glutamyltransferase routinely replace alkaline phosphatase as a screening test and in following patients with obstructive or infiltrative hepatic disorders. We give reliable reference intervals for gamma-glutamyltransferase covering the entire pediatric age group.

Organ Systems

Congenital lumbar hernias are uncommonly seen in the pediatric age group, with only about 60 cases reported in the literature. It is usually accompanied by a multitude of congenital anomalies involving different organ systems of the body. For instance, it may involve the ribs, spine, muscles, and the kidneys. Herein, we report a case of congenital lumbar hernia in an 8-month-old boy who underwent an operative repair using a mesh with an uneventful outcome.
