BACKGROUND
The relations among hyporetinolemia, acute phase proteins, and vitamin A status in children are unclear.
OBJECTIVE
The objective was to examine the relations between acute phase proteins and plasma retinol concentrations in children with and without clinical vitamin A deficiency (Bitot
The usual polymorphic central nervous system involvement observed in primary Sjögren's syndrome is classified as monofocal, multifocal or diffuse involvement. We present a case of acute rhombencephalitis associated with hearing loss that could correspond to an intermediate form between diffuse and
The clustering of xerophthalmia within households and villages was estimated among preschool age children using data from studies conducted in Malawi, Zambia, Indonesia and Nepal over the past decade. Pairwise odds ratios (OR) were used to measure the magnitude of clustering. This OR measures the
A 56-year-old male had periodic fever for 5 years and suffered from auditory hallucination and hearing impairment for 3 years. Xerostomia, xerophthalmia, elevated anti-SSA/Ro tilter, positive Schirmer's test, and lymphocyte infiltrate of mucoserous gland in lip biopsy of this case confirmed the

METHODS
A community based follow-up (interventional) in nature.

OBJECTIVE
To identify children aged 0-72 months with blinding xerophthalmia in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and its adjoining Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in Pakistan, using a new surveillance system, and to describe socio-economic and other characteristics of reported
BACKGROUND
Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is endemic in Brazil and health professionals have difficulty in recognizing its subclinical form. In addition, serum retinol concentrations do not always represent vitamin A status in the organism.
OBJECTIVE
To identify VAD in preschool children by the serum
Acute infections of childhood are associated with an increased of xerophthalmia, apparently due to depletion of vitamin A stores. The mechanism responsible for this is not known. Recently, it has been reported that severe infections in adult patients (ie, sepsis and pneumonia) result in excretion of
IIntroduction: Sjögren's syndrome in childhood is a rare autoimmune disease and mostly under-diagnosed. The aim of this study is to highlight the importance of ultrasonographic assessment of the salivary glands in children with recurrent parotitis and positive autoantibodies. Two cases of
The tolerance to two alternative large-dosage strengths of vitamin A preparation was determined in a double-blind study involving 2471 children in two municipalities in the Philippines. Each child, aged 1-6 y, not suffering from active xerophthalmia or from nausea and/or vomiting, headache,
We described two female patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome associated with localized cutaneous nodular amyloidosis (LCNA), in which amyloid protein was derived from immunoglobulin light chain. Case 1; a 70-year-old female had complained with polyarthralgia, low-grade fever and parotid gland
A 37-year-old previously healthy and athletic woman presented to the ED in October 2018 with acute-onset high fever, dyspnea, and productive cough. Chest radiograph showed bilateral infiltrates that correlated with multifocal ground glass opacities in a thoracic CT scan (Fig 1). The patient was
Here we report a case of primary Sjögren's syndrome with hilar lymphadenopathy, interstitial pneumonitis and interstitial tubulo-nephritis. A 60-year old man was admitted to our hospital in May 1993 because of general fatigue and fever. He was noted to have hypergammaglobulinemia and had positive
OBJECTIVE
To estimate the prevalence and causes of vitamin A deficiency disorders (VADD) in adult male prisoners in Nakuru, Kenya.
METHODS
A total of 1048 male prisoners aged > or =16 years in Nakuru Government of Kenya prison in Nakuru, Kenya were examined by an ophthalmologist for signs of
To investigate characteristics of patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) and relevant features of ILD progression.Patients with pSS were retrospectively reviewed, and pSS-ILD and pSS non-ILD were
