Faecal elastase 1 concentration is a marker of duodenal enteropathy.
BACKGROUND Measurement of faecal elastase (FE1) is used widely to screen for pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PI). FE1 does not allow differentiation of primary from secondary PI. AIMS To investigate the relation between duodenal morphology and FE1 in children with secondary PI resulting from primary gastrointestinal diseases. METHODS A group of 51 children underwent small intestinal biop...
متن کاملFaecal elastase 1 levels in premature and full term infants.
BACKGROUND Determination of faecal elastase 1 (FE1) is a simple, relatively inexpensive, non-invasive, highly specific and sensitive test for determining pancreatic function. Secretion of pancreatic enzymes varies during infancy, but there are almost no specific data on the ontogeny of elastase 1 in human babies. AIM To study FE1 levels in preterm and term babies, and to determine the possibl...
متن کاملUse of monoclonal faecal elastase-1 concentration for pancreatic status assessment in cystic fibrosis patients.
OBJECTIVE To assess the concentration of faecal elastase-1 (EL-1) in pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis with mutation DeltaF508. METHODS Cross-sectional study with samples collected consecutively from 51 patients aged 4 months to 17 years old (mean 9.11±4.74); 32 (62.8%) patients were male. Clinical-demographic data were collected, as well as data on the type of mutation. Exocrine pancre...

In addition to recognizing the clinical presentation of tetanus, EPs play a vital role in the prevention of the disease. Primary pediatric vaccination and regular decennial booster vaccination are the mainstays of disease prevention and sever ity modulation. Herd im...
