Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of bacterial pneumonia and malnutrition on the frequency of micronuclei (MN) in peripheral blood of pediatric patients through flow cytometric analysis. The study was an analytical case-control study carried out on 35 malnourished children with bacterial pneumonia and 20 well-nourished children with bacterial pneumonia, in addition to 20 healthy children as controls.

Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is a serious disease responsible for the high morbidity and mortality rates among children in developing countries. The damaging effects of PEM on their immune system may persist for long throughout their lives. In this study, the levels of the proinflammatory cytokines; Granulocyte-Macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured in culture supernates of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from 46 PEM children before and after stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt.
The aim of the present work was to study the presence of aflatoxins in blood and urine of infants with protein-energy malnutrition (PEM). The study was conducted on 60 infants, 30 with kwashiorkor and 30 with marasmus, with 10 age-matched healthy infants studied as a control group. Complete blood count, liver function tests, and determination of the level of aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2, M1, M2, G2a, B3, GM1, P, and aflatoxicol R0) in blood and urine were carried out in all studied infants.
