Tuberculin responses in children with allergic diseases.

Background: The prevalence of allergic disorders has been increasing over the last 30 years, especially in developed countries. One factor associated with this rise may be the decline of many childhood infections. We investigated tuberculin responses in allergic children in order to see the development of delayed‐type hypersensitivity reactions to tubercule bacillus infection.

Evaluation of allergic sensitization and gastroesophageal reflux disease in children with recurrent croup

Rubinstein Taybi Syndrome with Hepatic Hemangioma

Objective: It was the aim of our study to present a case of Rubinstein Taybi syndome (RTS) associated with hepatic hemangioma. Clinical Presentation and Intervention: A 6.5-year-old boy was diagnosed with RTS. He had large areas of cutaneous capillary hemangiomas. Radiological examination revealed a hepatic hemangioma. A multidisciplinary follow-up program was commenced and hepatic ultrasound examinations were performed periodically. No progression and complication have since occurred. Conclusion: This case shows an association between RTS and hepatic hemangioma, and hence, we recommend regular hepatic ultrasound examination when RTS is suspected or diagnosed.
