Preceding Communication

The dosage of gamma-globulin recommended for adults for the prevention of hepatitis with jaundice in the 1961 edition of the "Redbook" of the American Academy of Pediatrics has been questioned by Drs. Gellis and McComb in the preceding communication. The Committee on Control of Infectious Diseases, which is charged with the revision of the "Redbook," realizes that the optimum dose of gamma-globulin for adults is not known. Although there is good evidence based on well-controlled studies that 0.01 ml/lb is effective in preventing jaundice in children, comparable evidence is lacking for adults.

The Subject

The report of the Committee on the Control of Infectious Disease of the American Academy of Pediatrics in the 1961 edition states on the subject of Schick tests: "If immunization practices, including periodic recall injections, are carried out as outlined in this report, the routine use of the Schick test to determine individual susceptibility to diphtheria is unnecessary." I have been doing Shick test prior to vaccination for smallpox for several years as a means to determine the patient's gamma-globulin level by this indirect means.

First Time

The 1961 edition of the "Redbook" of the American Academy of Pediatrics distinguishes between dosages for the adult and the child for the first time in its recommendations for the prevention of infectious hepatitis. This amounts to 2½ times more for adults than for children per pound of body weight. These recommendations resemble those of Krugman et al. (J.A.M.A., 174:823, 1960) and do not take into account 10 years of satisfactory experience and published reports by many workers using the 0.01 cc/lb of body weight dosage first advocated by Stokes et al. 10 years ago. In the Krugman trials this dosage did not show the satisfactory results of previous published reports. The lot of globulin used by him at this dosage was not tested at any other dosage level. When he employed a higher dosage in his next trial, the gamma-globulin used was from a different commercial source.

Since 1937, when intravenous administration of theophylline-ethylenediamine (aminophylline) was shown to be effective in treating status asthmaticus, theophylline preparations have been employed extensively in the therapy of asthma. Reports of severe toxicity and deaths from aminophylline in children, have made the proper use of such drugs in childhood asthma a matter of concern to pediatricians. Accordingly, questionnaires about the use of aminophylline in asthmatic children were sent to 15 members of the Section on Allergy of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the majority of whom head Pediatric Allergy Fellowship Programs. The replies received from 14 are summarized here.

Testing Algorithm

Согласно рекомендациям Американской академии педиатрии при постановке диагноза аутизм, следует направить семью на консультацию генетика и генетическое обследование. Однако оптимальный подход к алгоритму генетического обследования при выявлении расстройства аутистического спектра еще предстоит разработать. В рамках исследования было проведено сравнение выявляемости генетических факторов аутизма различными молекулярно-генетическими тестами. According to American Academy of Pediatrics recent guidelines, each family with a child diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder should be reffered to a medical geneticist and offered genetic tests. However, an optimal genetic testing algorithm has yet to be developed. This study was conducted to compare abilities of different molecular-genetic methods to detect genetic factors of autistic spectrum disorders.
