Abnormal Computed Tomography Findings Among Children With Viral Gastroenteritis and Symptoms Mimicking Acute Appendicitis. Pediatr Emerg Care. 2008 Aug 13; Authors: Tajiri H, Kiyohara Y, Tanaka T, Etani Y, Mushiake S OBJECTIVE:: To evaluate computed tomography (CT) findings in pediatric patients with viral Gastroenteritis who presented with clinical features of acute abdomen. PATIENTS AND METHODS:: During 2 seasons of viral Gastroenteritis from 2005 to 2007, 302 children with acute gastrointestinal symptoms were admitted to our center for treatment of dehydration and associated complications. Stool specimens obtained from 130 of the 302 were tested for norovirus with the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction method. RESULTS:: Among the 130 patients, 44 tested positive for norovirus, 34 for rotavirus, and 1 for adenovirus. In the remaining 51, except one with Campylobacter jejuni, no viral or bacterial pathogen was detectable. An abdominal CT scan was performed in 4 patients with norovirus and in 1 with rotavirus for suspected acute abdomen including acute appendicitis. Computed tomography (CT) findings were similar among the 5 patients, including thickening of the bowel wall and fluid-filled bowel loops in the small intestine with nopathological findings in the stomach, appendix, or colon. CONCLUSIONS:: Anatomical changes in the small intestine were shown by CT in 5 children with viral Gastroenteritis who presented with acute ...

Related Articles Genetic diversity of noroviruses and sapoviruses in children with acute sporadic Gastroenteritis in New Delhi, India. J Clin Virol. 2008 Jul 3; Authors: Rachakonda G, Choudekar A, Parveen S, Bhatnagar S, Patwari A, Broor S BACKGROUND: Human caliciviruses (HuCVs) cause Gastroenteritis throughout the world. Limited information is available on molecular epidemiology of caliciviruses from developing countries including India. OBJECTIVES: Standardization and evaluation of a two-step multiplex RT-PCR assay for HuCVs and characterization of strains. STUDY DESIGN: Two hundred and twenty-six stool samples were collected from children with acute Gastroenteritis (AGE) over a one and half year to study the prevalence and diversity of HuCVs in children with AGE in New Delhi, India. A multiplex two-step RT-PCR using 3 sets of external and 4 sets of internal primers from the RdRp gene was standardized for detection of NoVs and SaVs. Molecular characterization of some HuCV strains was done by sequencing followed by phylogenetic analysis. RESULTS: Fifty-nine HuCVs strains were detected in 54 (24%) of the samples; 5 samples had mixed infections. Of these 59 HuCVs, 36 (61%) were norovirus (34 were GGII; 2 were GGI) and 23 (39%) were sapovirus (22 were GGI; 1 was GGII). Phylogenetic analysis of partial RdRp gene of 12 HuCV strains identified three genotypes (GGI/4, GGII/3 and a newly identified GIIb/Hilversum cluster) in NoVs and one gen ...

-- Read More In: Disease | Nutrition | Thinking Out Loud | Vitamins/Supplements Like many brilliant men before me, such as Eddie Izzard , I believe that most problems and their solutions come down to Monkeys. -And The French. Okay, I've had this more than once this year and it's been excruciating. It's also No Fun to hear of your friends and relatives writing writhing in agony when waiting seems to be the only strategy & Advil + Pepto doesn't work that well. So, with their bandmate Eddie, (he'd probably play bass) I'd like return to the Monkeys. Animal Planet Moment: It turns out there are some localized troupes of Vervets or Macaques, or whatever; they're all Cheeky Monkeys anyway; who -Eat Clay- before and after consuming a certain vegetation. When I was little, you might have inferred I was trying to learn their lesson -if not everything- via Darwin and his principle of Natural Selection; ie: "Is it lethal?" -"Dunno. -Eat it and find out!" . ->Similarly, my band of Cheeky Vervets learnt their lesson the same way. Only the dumb ones died and I survived; go figure. -It turns out they can consume otherwise Toxic vegetation and still pull the nutrients out of it, --- If they just eat a little Clay with it, which soaks up all the poison right out of the greens. How? The science is Absorption and Adsorption . Basically it means something that soaks other things up with both Huge Surface Area and Ionic Charges on the exposed molecules. -And ...
