Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by Leishmania siamensis is an emerging disease continuously reported in six southern provinces of Thailand. To date, the phylogenetic relationships among isolates from Thai patients and other species are still unclear taxonomic diversity needs to be established. In this study, inference trees were constructed based on four genetic loci (i.e., SSU-rRNA, ITS1, hsp70, cyt b), using DNA sequences obtained autochthonous VL Thailand reference studies deposited...
ABSTRACT Objectives: The Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) is inadequate for non‐toilet trained children. Brussels Infant and Toddler (BITSS) was developed, consisting of 7 photographs diapers containing stools infants toddlers. We aimed to evaluate interobserver reliability stool consistency assessment among parents, nurses, medical doctors (MDs) using the BITSS. Methods: In this multicenter cross‐sectional study (2016–2017), BITSS were rated according BSFS. evaluated overall proportion...
Epidemiologic studies in adults suggest that the nature of gastroesophageal reflux may differ among various ethnic groups. Until recently, there has been limited information concerning epidemiology non-Western children. The objectives this cohort study were to investigate prevalence symptoms related Thai infants and describe clinical course regurgitation during first year life.A was performed 216 healthy neonates who attended well-baby clinic Songklanagarind Hospital between March June 1998....
We report the first case of visceral leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania siamensis in a seronegative child. She was treated with amphotericin B at 1 mg/kg/day for 3 weeks; however, recurrences occurred twice. The patient cured after administration 5 weeks and monthly prophylaxis 6 months.
There has been no study to evaluate the use of Rome III criteria for diagnosis constipation in unselected young pediatric population. The aim this was and compare II a group Thai children.This cross-sectional conducted 3010 healthy children aged 4 months-5 years who attended well-baby clinic. Data concerning bowel habits behavioral components defecation were obtained by interviewing parents.

Introduction The Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSS) which consists of 7 photographs different stool forms allows assessment consistency (scale 1 for hard lumps to scale watery stools), in an objective manner adults. BSS is also sometimes used characterise the stools infants and young children. Despite its use, there general agreement among paediatric gastroenterologists that not adequate be children who wear diapers; thus, a new specifically designed this population needed. Our aim develop...
Bowel habits were assessed in 400 healthy Thai children aged 1-72 months. The study was undertaken principally because information concerning the bowel of living on a non-Western diet is lacking. Ninety-four percent moved their bowels at least once day. Mean frequency actions per day maximal newborn period (3.3 stools) and declined to from ages 48 72 Most infants younger than 2 months old produced running stools; however, change stool consistency runny formed evident most by 4 age.

AbstractAbstract Background: Although treatment with empirical antibiotics is recommended for dysenteric or invasive bacterial diarrhoea, overuse common in clinical practice worldwide. Recent information on the use of Thai children acute diarrhoea lacking. Objective: To survey appropriate hospitals southern Thailand and evaluate association between their features. Methods: Outpatient medical records aged 2 months to 5 years seen at ten (five community five general hospitals) during January...
Purpose: Functional constipation (FC) is a common gastrointestinal (GI) problem affecting children's well-being and quality of life.Although polyethylene glycol (PEG) recommended as the first line therapy, it not always applicable in lower socioeconomic populations.Hence, this study aimed to compare clinical courses FC children treated with different medications order identify prognostic factors related treatment outcomes.Methods: We reviewed medical records patients aged ≤15 years diagnosed...
Abstract Objectives N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has been shown to prevent hepatic damage and improve microcirculatory blood flow oxygen delivery the tissue. Previous studies have proposed benefit of NAC in dengue-associated acute liver failure (ALF). However, most are descriptive lack comparison between groups. We aimed compare ALF resolution rate mortality those who received did not receive treatment. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted among children aged <15 years were...

We aimed gather information from healthcare professionals incidence, diagnosis management LI 1 5 year old children Southeast Asia.An anonymous electronic survey was sent randomly among registered database pediatric societies Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore between June October 2016.In total, 259 health care responded which 45.5%...
Abstract Background Despite the rising incidence of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD) globally, multicenter collaborative studies PIBD children among developing countries remain sparse. We therefore aimed to define initial presentation and short-term outcomes Thai with from a registry. Methods Four teaching hospitals participated in this study. A diagnosis requires gastrointestinal endoscopy histopathology aged < 19 years. Besides demographics, we collected clinical information...
