[Experience with using radionuclide methods for evaluation of the lungs and hepatobiliary system in children with allergic diseases].

A total of 25 children with bronchial asthma and 40 children with cutaneous and dermato-respiratory + manifestations of allergy and concomitant injury to the gastrointestinal tract were under observation at an allergological clinic. In addition to the general clinical and allergological examination, radionuclide studies were performed by means of scintipneumography with 99mTc and hepatobiliscintigraphy with 99mTc HIDA. The data obtained indicate that radionuclide methods can be used in childhood allergological practice in the capacity of screening diagnosis as well as in the capacity of adjuvant + methods of examination, making it possible to perform investigations necessary for diagnosis establishment in a more precise and atraumatic manner.

[Status of the hepatobiliary system in children with cutaneous and cutaneo-respiratory manifestations of allergy].

Children with atopic dermatitis and the dermato-respiratory++ syndrome were examined for the status of the hepatobiliary system and efficacy of the bile-expelling therapy. The patients mainly demonstrated abnormalities of the gall-bladder, dyskinesias of the biliary tract, occurring by the hyperkinetic+ type, chronic cholecystitis and chronic persistent hepatitis. More pronounced deviations were discovered in children with the dermato-respiratory syndrome.
